Everyone Is Unique

One of your most distinctive features can be your hair. It can reflect your fashion preferences and personality, and how it’s styled can even affect your mood. That’s why it’s so important to care for it when there are problems like hair loss.

While often portrayed as a sign of aging, hair loss can affect people at any age. From stress or hormonal changes to chemical damage or underlying diseases, there are a lot of factors to consider. At Elevated Dermatology, we specialize in hair loss treatment in Parker, CO.

Causes

Finding the problem is the first step in any effective hair loss treatment. Seeing a board-certified dermatologist is crucial for receiving an accurate diagnosis. These medical professionals are very knowledgeable about the various reasons of hair loss and have experience treating them all.

Hereditary Causes

This form of hair loss, which is the most prevalent cause of hair loss worldwide, affects both men and women. It is known as male pattern hair loss in men and female pattern hair loss in women. Regardless of whether it develops in men or women, the medical word for it is androgenic alopecia. Whatever word you choose, it means that you have genes that drive the hair follicles—where each hair emerges—in your scalp to contract and finally stop developing hair. Although it can start as early as your teens, shrinking often begins later in life.

Age

Most people have some hair loss as they become older because hair growth slows. Hair follicles eventually stop producing new hair, which results in thinning hair on our scalp. The color of the hair also starts to fade. The hairline of a woman normally begins to recede.

Diseases and Conditions

A variety of diseases and conditions can trigger hair loss and require medical intervention. Alopecia areata is a disease that develops when the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles (what holds the hair in place), causing hair loss. If you receive chemotherapy or have radiation treatment to your head or neck, you may lose all (or most of) your hair within a few weeks of starting treatment.

Treatment

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for hair loss. Your dermatologist will tell you if therapy is advised once they identify the cause(s). Sometimes, your hair will grow back on its own, negating the need for treatment.
