KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS

Your scalp has over 100,000 hairs. Each day around 50-100 fall out as they complete their growth cycle.

When “shedding” is greater than new growth, alopecia is the result. Typically, men will see a receding hairline and/or a bald spot on the crown of their head. Woman may notice thinning around the part in their hair. This can be a very troubling condition for some causing anxiety and low self-image.

WHY AM I LOSING MY HAIR?

The causes for hair loss can range from heredity (most common) to primary skin diseases, drug interactions, hormonal fluctuations, nutritional deficiencies, infections, internal diseases and physical or emotional stress.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Treatment for hair loss includes topical medications, oral prescriptions, compounding medicines, or laser treatments.
