HAIR LOSS

Advanced Hair Loss (Alopecia) Treatment in Tarzana

The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), the most common type of alopecia, affects roughly one-third of men and women. It’s typically permanent. Other types of alopecia are temporary, including alopecia areata. It can involve hair loss on your scalp or other parts of your body. Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp and can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone can experience hair loss.

Signs You May Need a Dermatologist

Noticeable hair loss, sudden thinning, or patchy areas are signs to consult a medical dermatologist. Early intervention increases the chances of restoring hair and preventing further loss.

Treatment options vary based on the type and cause of hair loss and may include medications, topical solutions, and in some cases, surgical procedures like hair transplantation performed by a Tarzana hair restoration specialist.
