What Is Alopecia?
Alopecia is the loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. There are different kinds of alopecia, including alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), alopecia totalis (a loss of all hair on the scalp), alopecia ophiasis (hair loss in a narrow strip on the scalp), telogen effluvium, central centrifugal alopecia, and traction alopecia. There is also androgenetic alopecia, also referred to as male or female pattern baldness. Alopecia is highly prevalent and will most likely affect you or somebody you love at some point, which is why Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics is excited to offer the latest hair restoration treatments for Orlando, FL men and women who are concerned about thinning hair. Our hair loss solutions are designed to nourish the follicles for healthy, lush growth without scarring or discomfort. Alopecia treatments can vary based on the type of alopecia you have, which is why it's important to receive an evaluation if you've noticed your hair is starting to thin. Contact Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics to schedule your hair restoration consultation.
How Do You Treat Alopecia?
At Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we provide a selection of hair loss treatments, tailoring every plan to each client's needs. One popular treatment for some types of hair loss is the TED (Trans Epidermal Delivery) system from Alma. First, we use the TED applicator to gently massage the scalp with intense air pressure, opening up channels in the skin. After applying the TED+ Hair Care Formula, we'll use the device again to push the serum deep into the follicles, providing enhanced nourishment to promote long-term growth. Other potential treatments include topical or oral medications. There are no incisions, no injections, and no downtime, making our hair restoration treatments a great option for Orlando, FL patients who are looking for maximum results with minimal downtime.
What Are the Symptoms of Alopecia?
The principal symptom of alopecia is hair loss, which may happen gradually over time or rapidly. Other signs that may indicate alopecia include:
- Receding hairline
- Widening of the part
- Scalp tenderness or itching
- Excessive shedding of hair
- Brittle, dry hair
Alopecia Treatment Reviews
Dr Grayman is a very knowledgeable and competent dermatologist. Even more so, very patient and understanding. She takes her time with you and listens. My diagnosis of CCCA (alopecia) was quite disheartening; however, her prescribed treatment plan has given me hope. Also, appointments are easy to schedule and most of all, my adult onset acne has cleared up! So yes, Dr Grayman gets my recommendation.
