Is Your Hair Loss a Match for kalon Care?

Match your hair loss concern to the right kalon care pathway

My hair is shedding way more than usualIncreased shedding is often telogen effluvium triggered by stress, illness, medication, or hormonal shifts. Most cases resolve as the trigger clears, but evaluation rules out underlying causes.
I have a bald patch that appeared suddenlySudden circular patches are typical of alopecia areata, an autoimmune cause. Treatment includes topical, intralesional steroids, and newer biologics for severe cases.
My hairline is receding and I'm in my 30sAndrogenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss) commonly starts in the 20s-30s. Early intervention with topical or oral minoxidil and finasteride preserves the most hair.
I had a stressful event and my hair is falling outStress-related telogen effluvium typically shows up 2-3 months after the trigger. Hair regrows within 6-12 months once the trigger resolves.
Minoxidil isn't working for meMinoxidil response varies. Combination therapy with oral finasteride, PRP, low-level laser, or TED platelet therapy often improves results.
I want a non-surgical option, is PRP or TED right for mePRP and TED are both non-surgical and work well for early androgenetic alopecia. Candidacy depends on follicle activity, scalp condition, and your timeline.

Hair Loss

Many people experience hair loss in Brooklyn and Staten Island, but it’s not something you need to live with. The skilled providers at kalon Dermatology in Staten Island and the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, offer many innovative treatments for hair loss to improve hair growth and health. To get help with your hair loss at the state-of-the-art dermatology practice, call the office or schedule an appointment online today.

What is hair loss

Hair loss, also called alopecia, occurs when there’s a change in your hair’s normal growth cycle. It can affect hair growth anywhere on the body but most often occurs on the scalp.

Hair growth occurs in phases:

Anagen phase

During the anagen phase, your hair is actively growing. This phase usually lasts years.

Catagen phase

At the catagen phase, your hair stops growing and separates from the hair follicle. This phase lasts about 10 days.

Telogen phase

During the telogen phase, which lasts up to three months, the follicle rests and the hair falls out. The anagen phase follows the telogen phase.

If there’s a change in any phase of the hair growth cycle, you may lose too much hair or it may not resume growth.

What are some of the types of hair loss?

Hair loss may occur from any number of causes, including genetics, hormones, and hairstyles. Some of the common types of hair loss include:

Androgenetic alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic type of hair loss that affects men and women. It’s also called male- or female-patterned baldness.

Alopecia areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss when your immune system attacks and destroys the hair follicles.

Anagen effluvium

Anagen effluvium is hair loss from a medical treatment, such as chemotherapy for cancer. We do a lot of skin cancer testing at our facility. We have seen how this can contribute to hair loss and stress.

Traction alopecia

Traction alopecia is hair loss related to your hairstyle. Certain hairstyles like braids, dreadlocks and cornrows can cause this type of alopecia.

When should I seek dermatology help for hair loss?

When should I seek dermatology help for hair loss?

Seek help from the experts at kalon Dermatology in Brooklyn and Staten Island if you have noticeable hair loss that’s affecting how you look and feel. Early treatment for hair loss may improve your response to treatment.

Your provider asks detailed questions about your hair loss, as well as your medical and family history. They also examine your skin and scalp and may run lab work to determine the cause of your hair loss.

Your visit starts with a scalp exam, trichoscopy, and blood work, and a biopsy when needed, so we know whether you are dealing with androgenetic thinning, telogen effluvium after stress, or alopecia areata. The treatment follows the diagnosis, whether that is minoxidil, finasteride, PRP, low-level laser, TED, or a biologic for alopecia areata.

What are the treatments for hair loss?

Your provider at kalon Dermatology customizes your hair loss treatment plan based on the cause. Your plan may include:

  • Minoxidil (shampoo that stimulates hair growth)
  • Photochemotherapy
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
  • Change in hairstyle or hair products
  • Multivitamin supplements

Your provider at kalon Dermatology may also talk to you about alternative therapies, such as acupuncture and aromatherapy, which treat some types of hair loss.

kalon Dermatology specializes in hair loss for Brooklyn and Staten Island patients and can develop a plan to restore hair growth and thickness. Call the office or schedule an appointment online today.
