Hair Loss Conditions We Specialize In
Find what matches what you have been seeing, then find out what is actually driving it. Serving all of Metro Atlanta.
The short answer
We specialize in 18 hair loss conditions across six families: scarring, autoimmune, hormonal, inflammatory, traumatic and other systemic causes. The family matters because it changes what's possible. Scarring conditions need early action to protect follicles that are still alive. In others, including alopecia areata and anagen effluvium, the follicle usually survives. A 200x read of your scalp, alongside a look at the systems behind it, is how we tell which one you have.
- The family changes what's possible.
- Scarred follicles do not regrow, so early matters most there.
- One visit tells us which family you're in.
