Alopecia is a partial or complete loss of hair caused by a disruption in the hair development cycle or damage to hair follicles. The expert team at Associated Dermatologist has successfully helped many alopecia patients regrow hair, even if past treatments have been ineffective.
Hair thinning and alopecia are often caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, infections, the aging process, and conditions such as eating disorders, thyroid disease, and diabetes. Essentially, alopecia is an autoimmune process where the immune system targets hair follicles. It usually starts appearing as a few small round patches of hair loss on the scalp, and some individuals may experience itchiness at this stage. Complete hair loss typically happens over a span of six months.
Our medical practice in Wooster, Ohio, is staffed with expert dermatologists who are adept at diagnosing and treating these conditions.
