Understanding Hair Loss: Causes & Solutions

Hair loss can be distressing—but you’re not alone. Our dermatologists are here to help you uncover the underlying cause and create a treatment plan that works for you.

What Is Hair Loss?

Alopecia, or excessive hair loss, can happen suddenly or gradually, and it may affect the scalp, face, or body. It can manifest as thinning, shedding, or patchy bald spots.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss is often caused by multiple overlapping factors, including:

• Genetic predispositions (like male or female pattern baldness)

• Autoimmune conditions (such as alopecia areata)

• Hormonal changes (from aging, pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders)

• Nutritional deficiencies (like iron or vitamin D)

• Physical or emotional stress

• Medications or medical treatments

We understand that hair loss affects more than your appearance—it can impact your mental and emotional well-being. That’s why we take a comprehensive, medically grounded approach to diagnosis and treatment.

A Personalized Diagnostic Approach

At Springs Dermatology MD, we treat each case of hair loss as unique. Here's what you can expect when you visit us:

History & Scalp Evaluation

We begin with a thorough review of your personal and family history, followed by a detailed scalp examination. If needed, we’ll examine other parts of the body for signs of systemic causes.

Blood Tests

If we suspect autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, or nutritional deficiencies, we may recommend lab testing to guide your care.

Scalp Biopsy

When needed, we perform scalp biopsies, which are interpreted in-house by our expert dermatopathology team. This gold-standard diagnostic tool helps rule out scarring forms of alopecia and allows us to narrow down an accurate diagnosis.

Effective Hair Loss Treatments: What to Expect

We don't offer fads, miracle oils, or gimmicky hair growth products. We rely on treatments rooted in medical science, designed to work for your unique needs and hair type.
