Hair Loss and Restoration 2nd Edition

Comprehensive Clinical Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hair Disorders

As public interest in hair health increases and commercial promises flood the market, healthcare professionals must be equipped with accurate, evidence-based knowledge to diagnose and treat the full spectrum of hair disorders. Hair Loss and Restoration provides a practical, up-to-date, and extensively illustrated guide to the medical, surgical, and cosmetic management of hair loss in both men and women.

This compact yet authoritative reference offers clear clinical guidance on patient evaluation, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning for common and complex hair disorders. It delves deeply into androgenetic alopecia—the most prevalent cause of hair loss—as well as alopecia areata, covering the latest developments in its pathogenesis and therapy. Additional topics include drug- and radiation-induced hair loss, telogen effluvium, and frontal fibrosing alopecia, a growing concern in scarring alopecias.

The book also features a comprehensive overview of hair restoration surgery, detailing techniques and outcomes, along with an insightful review of nonmedical approaches to hair care, allowing clinicians to counsel patients on both medical and over-the-counter options.

Illustrated with more than 300 full-color clinical photographs and thoroughly referenced, this resource is indispensable for dermatologists, primary care physicians, hair restoration surgeons, and other healthcare providers involved in diagnosing and treating hair loss.
