Hair Loss
Hair loss is common: everyone loses 50-100 hairs every day. But if you start to see bald patches or significant thinning you may be experiencing severe hair loss. The commonest cause is hereditary hair loss which affects both men and women. You may also suffer from alopecia areata, thought to be caused by a problem with the immune system, when bald patches come and go.
Hair loss can be distressing, although in recent years it has become a fashion statement for some men.
Many people, however, would rather not lose their hair. Luckily then, early diagnosis and treatment can restore a full head of hair and prevent permanent hair loss.
Treatments
Dermatologists are the only medically qualified professionals trained in hair loss. We are able to take a holistic approach and consider your whole skin. This means looking not only for local problems but also for systemic problems affecting your hair. We treat all forms including normal male pattern balding, patchy hair loss and widespread hair loss, often seen in men as well as women.
