Hair Loss (alopecia)
Hair loss is startling and unfortunately common affecting 80 million Americans. Fortunately, you have options to retain your hair and perhaps regrow hair that’s been lost. Dr. Ramirez is one of the few dermatologists that specialize in alopecia in Weber County and Davis county.
What are the main causes of hair loss?
Hair loss is usually multi-factorial, meaning that there is usually more than one factor that results in hair loss. Most often hair loss is hereditary, but other reasons may be a result of vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, excess stress, hormonal changes, medical conditions and medications. While it is normal to lose some of our hair’s volume and luster as we age, widespread hair loss can be the outward sign of more challenging problems. Hair loss from alopecia can be localized to the scalp or other locations or could impact the entire body. Alopecia is not always an indicator of deeper concerns within the body. It’s vital that you quickly speak with your provider as soon as you notice a loss of hair volume.
The main causes of hair loss can include:
Genetics
Stress (emotions, physical, surgeries, sickness [COVID])
Hormonal changes
Medical diseases (autoimmune disorders)
Medications
Vitamin deficiencies
Aging
Hair styling
