Causes of Hair Loss
Some hair loss is quick, falling out in a matter of days or weeks, while other types progress slowly. Some patients experience patchy hair loss while others have a diffuse thinning of the hair. Some types of hair loss are temporary and others are permanent.
There are many causes of hair loss. These include:
- Heredity
- Medical conditions including alopecia areata and scalp infections
- Some medications including chemotherapy, anti-depressants, and medications for high blood pressure can cause hair loss.
- Radiation therapy to the head also results in hair loss.
- Pulling hairstyles including tightly pulled ponytails, pigtails, and cornrows.
- Stress
- Hormonal changes including pregnancy, thyroid disorders, and menopause
Some of these causes of hair loss can be effectively treated with our in-office treatments. Others may be more difficult to treat. A consultation with a hair loss specialist, like Dr. Jose Barrera, is the best way to explore options and find what treatments may be effective for your type of hair loss.
