Hair and Nail Disorders

Alopecia is a partial or complete loss of hair caused by a disruption in the hair development cycle or damage to hair follicles.

What is it?

Hair thinning and alopecia are often consequences of genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, infections, and the natural aging process. They can also result from eating disorders, thyroid conditions, and diabetes. Alopecia, in particular, is primarily an autoimmune condition, where the body's immune system mistakenly targets hair follicles. This often starts as a few small, circular bald spots on the scalp, and some individuals may experience itchiness during this stage. Complete hair loss usually happens over a span of six months.

How is it treated?

While a definitive cure for alopecia is yet to be discovered, there are numerous innovative treatments for hair loss developed by dermatologists, enhancing the likelihood that you can restore your hair even if previous remedies were unsuccessful. For some individuals, topical treatments and steroid injections prove beneficial. The modern JAK inhibitor prescription medications are designed to combat inflammation that leads to hair loss and have demonstrated high efficacy for numerous patients. Our medical practice boasts a team of professionals proficient in the most advanced treatments currently available. Arrange a consultation now to gain insights about hair regrowth from our board-certified dermatologists in Avon, Sandusky, Broadview Heights, Medina, Port Clinton, and Strongsville, Ohio.
