Alopecia refers to hair loss and it affects millions of people of all ages. From genetic factors that impact hair growth as you get older to unexpected hair loss at any age, alopecia can greatly impact your appearance, confidence and quality of life. There are various types of alopecia and advanced options that can mitigate hair loss. At MJR Dermatology, we offer cutting-edge hair loss treatment for all genders at our clinic in Lawrenceville, GA.
Hair loss can be a devastating event for many people. Whether you have thinning hair, a receding hairline or complete bald spots, it can be frustrating to have this occur at any age. The most common type of alopecia is androgenic, which is hereditary, and causes male or female pattern baldness. Other types of alopecia include areata, which is an autoimmune disease, and telogen effluvium, which can be caused by stress or hormonal changes. Traction alopecia refers to hair loss that is caused by physical stress on the hair.
Controlling Alopecia
If you are experiencing hair loss, the first step is determining the type of alopecia that is occurring. Treatment for one type of alopecia may not be effective for another. Dr. Matthew Reschly is a board certified dermatologist that has decades of experience fighting skin conditions, including all types of alopecia. He can accurately diagnose the cause of your hair loss and recommend an effective treatment plan to help you slow hair loss or encourage new hair growth.
Hair loss treatments have greatly improved in the last few decades. What once was considered inevitable at a certain age or difficult to control can now be effectively treated without surgical intervention in many cases. There are medications and therapies that can stimulate hair growth and counteract triggers that are the underlying cause of alopecia, available through our medical center in North Atlanta.
You do not need to accept hair loss as your fate. If you want to explore non-invasive treatments for alopecia, contact our team at MJR Dermatology. We can schedule a hair loss consultation with Dr. Reschly to determine the cause of your alopecia and the best treatment options.
