Medical hair examination and digital analysis by Dr. Finner
Most of us want to keep their hair and not lose it. When diagnosed correctly and in time, most hair loss problems and scalp disorders can be treated successfully. In his daily hair clinic, Dr. Andreas Finner will examine your hair problem and suggest an effective treatment plan. It may consist of medical treatments, hair and scalp care or a modern hair transplant.
Dr. Andreas Finner uses modern hair analysis and video trichoscopy, including digital measurement with Trichoscan® or Folliscope®. They can help to exactly diagnose your hair problem and measure the treatment effect on follow-up visits.
Common hair disorders include diffuse hair shedding due to telogen effluvium, hair thinning in androgenetic alopecia, patchy hair loss in alopecia areata and bald spots in scarring alopecia. Important scalp problems are allergies, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, infections from bacteria or fungus and scalp tumors.
Diffuse hair loss can occur several weeks after a disturbance of the hair cycle. Possible reasons include fever, drugs and medications, hormone changes, thyroid problems, infections, changes in your diet, deficiencies, stress and many other factors. A careful history and laboratory tests can often reveal the underlying cause. When it is corrected, the hair can regrow. Stimulating procedures such as PRP (platelet rich plasma), nutricial supplements and hair medications can further improve and speed up hair recovery.
Androgenetic alopecia in men typically involves bitemporal recession of the male hair line and balding. But also women can be affected by pattern hair loss with thinning of the upper head, shorter hairs and widening of the central part. Early intervention with hair medications can often stabilize and sometimes improve the hair loss. In advanced stages, hair transplantation can restore the hair line and hair coverage. The innovative Trichotransplant® concept, developed by hair surgeon Dr. Andreas Finner, ensures optimum results. He will personally treat you based on your individual hair situation.
Alopecia areata presents with patchy or universal hair loss due to an immune reaction around the hair bulbs. Several interventions can support regrowth.
Scarring alopecia leads to permanently bald spots. Common conditions include lichen planopilaris, folliculitis decalvans and frontal fibrosing alopecia. If treated early and effectively, progression can often be avoided.
Hair breakage, brittle hair and structural hair shaft damage can occur from chemical and physical influences and errors in hair styling practices. Modern hair care technology can prevent and repair these changes.
A healthy scalp is important for normal hair growth. Scalp disorders can lead to itching, burning, dandruff and scaling. Dr. Andreas Finner is an experienced dermatologist. He can recognize and treat your scalp problem effectively.
