About Alopecia
Alopecia areata is identified by the rapid loss of hair on one’s scalp, resulting in patchy and random bald spots. It is an inherited condition with a more gradual process of hair loss, but it can begin to show up as early as puberty in both men and women and is sometimes referred to as male or female pattern baldness. Alopecia is highly common and will most likely affect you or someone you love at some point, which is why Christopher Rex, M.D. and his team of practitioners offer some of the most advanced hair restoration treatments to patients of all ages. This allows them to attain their cosmetic goals and return to a more enriched life as quickly as a few days after the treatment. Schedule a consultation at Peak Dermatology if you think you have alopecia or another hair disorder.

Treatment Options
Depending on the extent and severity of hair loss, different options are available. For mild alopecia cases, nonsurgical PRP therapy uses your extracted growth factors to promote the regrowth of damaged hair follicles. However, in case a nonsurgical treatment is not effective, a follicle unit extraction (FUE) can be performed. Dr. Rex offers a minimally invasive FUE treatment with a robotic hair restoration system that effectively extracts usable hair follicles and carefully puts them to where the damaged or dormant ones were, covering the balding areas and offering a quick recovery time of only a few days.
