What is it?

Hair thinning and alopecia are usually caused by genetic factors, which can include hormonal imbalances, infections, aging, conditions such as eating disorders, thyroid problems and diabetes. Alopecia, an autoimmune disorder, occurs when the immune system wrongfully attacks hair follicles. It typically begins with small, circular, hairless patches on the scalp, sometimes accompanied by itchiness. Complete hair loss usually occurs within six months.


The Skin Care Center serves the communities of Lake Forest, Glenview and Chicago, Illinois, and is staffed with a team of board-certified dermatologists experienced in diagnosing and treating conditions like these. We provide top-notch care to help manage and treat hair loss and alopecia effectively. Trust our medical practice for all your dermatological needs.

How is it treated?

Unfortunately, there is no set treatment for alopecia, but there are numerous innovative treatments to help treat this condition. These treatments enhance the chances of hair regrowth even if previous therapies didn't show positive results. Steroid injections and topical treatments have proven effective for many who are experiencing alopecia and hair loss. The innovative JAK inhibitor prescription drugs, aimed at tackling inflammation linked to hair loss, have yielded remarkable results for numerous patients. Our skilled team is uniquely trained in these pioneering treatments.

THE TREATMENTS BELOW CAN HELP WITH HAIR AND NAIL DISORDERS:

Genetics is the most common cause of hair loss. The condition can also occur as a result of stress, disease, medication, or hormonal imbalances.

There are many different types of hair loss. Some are temporary and others are permanent. Hereditary hair loss (male-pattern baldness) is the number one prevailing type.
