Commonly caused by genetics, medical issues, or environmental factors, hair loss isn\u2019t just a cosmetic concern; it can impact social interactions and personal identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we\u2019ll explore the causes of hair loss, types of hair loss, and what to look for when seeking professional dermatological help. Understanding when to consult a dermatologist for hair loss is vital, and our articles will outline what to expect from these consultations.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What causes hair loss?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair loss can result from numerous factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Genetics: <\/strong>The most common cause, especially in cases of male or female pattern baldness, is hereditary.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hormonal changes: <\/strong>Conditions like pregnancy, thyroid disorders, and menopause can trigger hair loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Medical conditions: <\/strong>Scalp infections, diseases like lupus, and trichotillomania (a hair-pulling disorder) are known contributors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Medications and supplements: <\/strong>Hair loss can be a side effect of drugs used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure. It can be dangerous to suddenly stop some medications, so it\u2019s important to speak to the prescribing provider before stopping any medications.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stressful events: <\/strong>Major stress, both physical and emotional, can lead to temporary hair loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Types of hair loss<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair loss can follow certain patterns depending on the condition you\u2019re experiencing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Male pattern baldness: <\/strong>Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men but can affect females too. It typically follows a pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown and is caused by genetic and hormonal factors. The hair loss is associated with the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually cease producing hair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Female pattern baldness: <\/strong>Female pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia in women, is characterized by hair thinning predominantly over the top and crown of the scalp. Unlike men, the frontal hairline might not necessarily recede. This condition is influenced by hormones and genetic predisposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Alopecia areata: <\/strong>Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that usually results in unpredictable, patchy hair loss. In alopecia areata, the body&#8217;s immune system attacks healthy hair follicles, causing them to become smaller and drastically slow down production, leading to sudden hair loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Telogen effluvium: <\/strong>Telogen effluvium is a form of temporary hair loss that usually happens after stress, a pregnancy, shock, or a traumatic event. It typically involves an abrupt onset of hair shedding usually seen several months after a triggering event. It occurs when more hairs than normal enter the shedding (telogen) phase of the hair growth lifecycle. Hair typically grows back after several months once the stressful trigger is removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Alopecia Universalis: <\/strong>Alopecia Universalis is characterized by the complete loss of hair on the scalp and body. It is an advanced but rare form of alopecia areata, which involves a total loss of body hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair. This condition is also believed to be an autoimmune disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>When to see a dermatologist<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying hair loss early is crucial for effective treatment. Signs that warrant a visit to a dermatologist include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden loss of large amounts of hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patchy hair loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalp pain, itching, or scaling.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a visit, dermatologists will more likely do the \u201chair pull\u201d test for anyone presenting with hair loss; pulling out more than 6 hairs can indicate an active hair loss condition like alopecia areata for example. . <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a dermatologist visit for hair loss, expect a physical exam, discussion of medical history, and possibly a scalp biopsy. Understanding what to expect can ease anxiety and prepare you for the consultation. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/providers\/dermatologists\/?utm_term=&amp;gad_source=1&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=20713321583&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw_-GxBhC1ARIsADGgDjvh6BItkUtcrxUI8OOhT4ZGR7C04YlfpMtSoPkMAfhPoD16t3Ylt_kaAu4kEALw_wcB\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual visits on Maple<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will have you sending files or images to a dermatologist on our platform, who will assess your needs and determine if virtual care is appropriate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How dermatologists can help with hair loss<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While dermatologists are skin experts, their expertise also extends to hair issues. If you\u2019re looking to regrow <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/2020\/10\/08\/help-my-hair-is-falling-out\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lost hair<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or simply trying to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/2020\/05\/28\/how-to-prolong-going-bald\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slow your rate of hair loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a dermatologist can provide a few different treatment options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair loss treatment options include topicals, injectables, and oral treatments in addition to surgical procedures like hair transplants. Generally, the first line of defence often involves prescription hair loss medication like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/medications\/finasteride\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">finasteride<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This medication decreases dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in your body, which can increase hair growth and slow hair loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments are another alternative. This involves drawing blood from your arm to isolate growth factor-releasing blood cells called platelets that encourage the growth of existing hair. Once this is complete, your dermatologist numbs the thinning spots on your scalp and injects the concentration with fine needles to stimulate hair growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intralesional corticosteroid injections into the scalp may also stimulate hair growth \u2014 though they\u2019re most useful for patchy, stable hair loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinning hair and baldness aren&#8217;t the only hair-related concerns a dermatologist can address. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dermatologist can also <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">help you develop a plan for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/2023\/03\/14\/how-dermatologists-can-help-with-seasonal-hair-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seasonal hair loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0since it\u2019s common for hair to shed when the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/2021\/06\/01\/hair-health-with-the-change-of-season\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> temperatures change<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
