Hair Loss Treatments in Yakima, WA
Hair is more than a symbol of beauty. It’s a mirror of health, reflecting changes in your body and sometimes indicating systemic health issues. Hair loss is often a tell-tale sign that your body needs medical attention. Integrative Dermatology can help you pinpoint the cause and get proper treatment.
Solve the Mystery of Your Hair Loss
Understanding what caused you to lose hair is the key to reversing the damage or stopping further hair loss. Here are the possible causes:
- Genetics – Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) is a genetically predetermined disorder. It’s irreversible, but you may slow the progress and preserve the remaining hair with adequate treatment.
- Hormonal imbalance – Pregnancy, menopause, and PCOS sometimes trigger telogen effluvium, causing growing hair to enter the resting phase prematurely. Other hormonal changes from conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can also disrupt the hair growth cycle. Fortunately, this hair loss is temporary.
- Autoimmune disease – – If your immune system goes haywire and attacks healthy hair follicles, you may experience alopecia areata, losing hair in patches. Proper treatments with immunosuppressant drugs may help regrow your hair.
- Medication – – Various medications, radiation therapy, and exposure to specific chemicals, including toxic agents in chemotherapy, can cause temporary hair loss.
- Infection – Bacteria and fungi can cause inflammation in your hair follicles, making them fall out. Treating the infection may reverse the condition.
- Stress – Extreme stress can sometimes trigger sudden hair loss, but the condition isn’t permanent.
Whether you notice significant hair thinning, bald patches, or excess shedding, schedule an appointment at Integrative Dermatology in Yakima, Washington, to get to the bottom of the problem and minimize or reverse your hair loss.
