Hair Loss Treatment in Abilene

Also known as male or female pattern hair loss.

Androgenic alopecia results from having higher levels of androgens (a group of sex hormones that stimulate male characteristics) which can shrink your hair follicles and cause gradual thinning.

In men, this presents as hair thinning near their temples, on their crown, or as a receding hairline. This type of hair loss starts as early as in their late teens or early 20s.

In women, androgenic alopecia appears as a gap in the center part of their hair that widens gradually into a shape resembling a Christmas tree. This type of hair loss typically starts when women enter menopause, around the age of 51.

An autoimmune disease that attacks your hair follicles.

This causes hair to fall out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. While alopecia areata most commonly affects the scalp, it can also affect other parts of your body as well, including your eyebrows, facial hair, and eyelashes.

Anyone can develop this autoimmune disease. Those at a greater risk are children, anyone with a family history of alopecia areata, or patients who have a family history of autoimmune disorders like diabetes, lupus, or thyroid disease.

The FoLix laser is FDA-cleared as a hair loss treatment in Abilene for individuals with alopecia areata. This treatment can prolong the lifespan of hair follicles and stimulate dormant hair follicles.

Telogen effluvium is characterized by rapidly shedding over 100 hairs a day, with a potential loss of up to 300.

This form of hair loss is temporary and usually caused by a stressor—like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, illness, or psychological stress, to name a few.

This type of hair loss is common among postpartum women, as this life stage involves their levels of estrogen to rise and fall. This fluctuation creates a hormonal imbalance that can trigger shedding.
