What is it?

Hair thinning and alopecia are often caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, infections, and the natural aging process. Other contributing factors can include eating disorders, thyroid conditions, and diabetes. Alopecia, in particular, is an autoimmune response where the body's immune system targets hair follicles. It typically manifests as small, round, bald spots on the scalp, and some individuals may experience itching during this initial stage. Total hair loss typically transpires over a period of six months.


At Bexley Dermatology, our skilled team of dermatologists are experts in diagnosing and treating hair loss and alopecia. They understand the intricate processes involved and are committed to helping patients regain their confidence by addressing their hair loss concerns. So, whether you live in Bexley, Ohio, or nearby, our medical experts are ready to serve you.

How is it treated?

Even though there is no confirmed cure for alopecia, a host of innovative treatments for hair loss have been developed by dermatologists, enhancing the likelihood of hair re-growth even after previous treatments have failed. For some individuals, steroid injections and topical applications prove to be beneficial. The latest JAK inhibitor prescription medications, designed to target inflammation triggering hair loss, have shown remarkable results for numerous patients. Schedule an appointment to gain more insights about hair re-growth from our expert dermatologists in Bexley, Ohio.
