Hair Disorders
Dr. Benson and Nurse Practitioners Sandy Thornhill and Susan Smith recognize the importance of diagnosing and aggressively treating disorders of the hair, from the distressing alopecia areata (hair loss that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles) to ringworm of the scalp, from bothersome dandruff to severe psoriasis, from hereditary male pattern baldness to the all-too-common thinning hair scalp of middle-aged women. Treatments range from simple topical remedies such as medicated shampoos, lotions, and foams to air-compressed injections, oral medications, and NeoGraft Hair Restoration—an amazing permanent solution which implants one hair follicle at a time from thick donor sites into areas where the hair has become thin or is totally gone.
