Hair Loss & Alopecia

The unwanted loss of hair has plagued all types of people for generations. Whether it is a growing small bald spot or full-blown alopecia areata universalis, hair loss can really be a frustrating circumstance to experience. Luckily, our skincare specialists at Tamjidi Skin Institute in Maryland and Virginia have plenty of experience dealing with hair loss and want to provide their professional service to you, however you need it. 

What are Hair Loss & Alopecia?

Hair loss isn’t a severe medical condition, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t cause plenty of unwanted stress and social anxiety. There are a number of possible causes of hair loss. Hair loss is a natural part of the aging process, and the most common cause is the hereditary condition of male or female-pattern baldness. Hair loss can also occur as a side effect of certain medications or treatments like chemotherapy. Temporary hair loss can be induced by a very stressful event or rapid weight loss. Treatment can vary depending on the cause, from prescription medication to laser therapy and hair transplant surgery.

The condition of consistent hair loss is alopecia areata. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own hair follicles and can vary from small bare patches on your scalp to complete loss of hair over your whole body. Those who suffer from alopecia are usually generally healthy otherwise, but the patches and hair loss can lead some to social phobia and anxiety. There are a few diet changes and topical steroid treatment options that might help, but none of the current therapeutic options are preventive or curative.
