HAIR LOSS

Hair loss, or alopecia, may present in several ways. It may be partial or complete and occur in any hair-bearing area of the body, although in our clinic we usually see patients present for hair loss of the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes.

Hair loss may occur in men and women of various age groups. Androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, is obviously a concern for young men. Other common hair loss conditions include ALOPECIA AREATA and TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM.

At Kassir Dermatology, we perform a comprehensive hair and scalp examination, and if necessary perform a total body skin/hair examination. We review all medications, obtain a detailed family history of hair loss, and order blood tests and view hairs under the microscope if necessary. After this detailed examination, we recommend the proper course of action for each patient.
