Hair Loss and Restoration

This new edition of an established resource provides an extensive look at the practical management, both medical and surgical, of all forms of hair loss. Proper examination of the patient with hair loss is discussed in depth, as is androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause of hair loss. The autoimmune disease alopecia areata is examined comprehensively, including its pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis, and treatment. This edition also covers the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, along with hair restoration surgery.

This compact and easy-to-read book remains a valuable resource for professional training and use.
