Hair Loss & Alopecia

Alopecia is a partial or complete loss of hair caused by a disruption in the hair development cycle or damage to hair follicles.

What is it?

Hair thinning and alopecia can be attributed to genetics, hormonal fluctuations, infections, or the aging process. It can also be caused by conditions such as eating disorders, thyroid disorders, and diabetes. Essentially, alopecia is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system targets the hair follicles. The initial signs are usually small, round patches of hair loss on the scalp, accompanied by itching for some individuals. Complete hair loss typically unfolds over a span of six months.

Buckeye Dermatology, with locations in Springfield, Grove City, and Dublin, Ohio, is a specialist in diagnosing and treating alopecia. Even when past treatments have been ineffective, our team has had success helping alopecia patients regrow hair.

How is it treated?

There may not be a recognized cure for alopecia, yet an array of innovative treatments for hair loss has been formulated by dermatologists, increasing the likelihood of hair regrowth even if past therapies weren't successful. Some patients find steroid injections and topical solutions to be effective.
