Dermatologist in Houston distinguishes with depth of experience in diagnosing and treating hair loss

Dr. Weaver applies his training and experience to effectively treat patients’ hair loss and scalp disorders to restore their appearance and confidence.

Alopecia refers to hair loss in general. While it’s normal to lose some hair each day, if your hair feels or looks noticeably thinner, bald patches have appeared, or clumps fall out, you can benefit from Dr. W Dermatology’s specialized knowledge. After a source of hair loss is identified, effective ways to restore volume follow.

Alopecia areata, for example, can cause hair to fall out in patches throughout the scalp and body. Often, the immune system of an otherwise healthy person attacks the follicles that contain hair roots, but alopecia areata can also be symptomatic of autoimmune diseases. Although the condition may resolve without treatment, Dr. Weaver and his team can speed up re-growth with systemic or topical medications, and light-based therapies.

Don’t live with hereditary thinning or baldness, a condition not exclusive to older men. Usually, a man with androgenetic alopecia will have a receding hairline or a bald spot on top of his head. while a woman’s part may widen or hair may be thinner overall. OTC and prescription treatments, light-based treatments, or hair transplants may be recommended, for best results.

Other causes of hair loss, such as chemical hair damage and traction alopecia, can be addressed by minimizing hot or harsh products and hairstyles that cause breakage. Tight ponytails and braids, blow dryers, flat irons, dyes, and relaxers are among the worst offenders. Even dietary changes and stress management techniques can help encourage hair re-growth.

Identifying a cause is the first step toward stopping hair loss, stimulating growth, and restoring your crowning glory. Call 281 771-0494 to schedule a consultation with your Dermatologist in Houston for Hair loss, Dr. Weaver.
