Hair Disorders

Dr. Benson and his staff of certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants 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 follicular units from thick donor sites into areas where the hair has become thin or is totally gone. With minimal downtime and no scarring, NeoGraft's FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technology has become the gold standard in permanent hair restoration.

Benson Dermatology is proud to offer such options in the treatment of hair disorders. Our commitment to you, your health, and your satisfaction drive every procedure performed in our dermatology clinic. Located in Ponchatoula, LA, Benson Dermatology gladly serves the dermatology needs of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Louisiana’s Northshore.
