Alopecia And Other Hair Disorders
Stronger Hair. Renewed Confidence
At Herndon Dermatology, we understand that hair loss and scalp issues can deeply affect both appearance and self-esteem. Our dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating alopecia and other hair disorders with advanced therapies tailored to each patient’s needs, helping restore hair health and confidence.
What Are Alopecia and Hair Disorders?
Alopecia and hair disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that cause hair thinning, shedding, or changes in scalp health. These can result from autoimmune activity, genetics, hormonal imbalances, infections, or stress. Professional evaluation is essential to determine the underlying cause and recommend the most effective treatment.
How Alopecia and Hair Disorders Develop
Our dermatologists begin with a comprehensive evaluation, which may include scalp examination, medical history, and laboratory testing. Based on the diagnosis, treatments may involve prescription medications, topical therapies, corticosteroid injections, advanced procedures like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, or lifestyle guidance. This personalized approach targets both the symptoms and the root cause of hair loss or scalp concerns.
