Hair Loss

Hair loss can be broadly categorised into non-scarring and scarring alopecia.

The common causes of non-scarring hair loss are male/female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata and telogen effluvium. Scarring hair loss is less common, but early recognition and diagnosis is important because once it has occurred the hair loss is permanent. Therefore it is crucial to start treatment early. A scalp biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

At Skin Physicians, we provide a comprehensive range of treatment options for these hair loss problems ranging from topical/oral medications to injections. In addition, we have available diphencyprone immunotherapy for extensive or refractory alopecia areata.
