Hair loss, regardless of age, can have a significant impact on your self-esteem and happiness.

Our board-certified dermatologists recognize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of male pattern baldness, hair loss, or other forms of alopecia. At the Center for Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, our dermatologists incorporate the latest in medical and non-surgical techniques to provide natural hair growth with a customized treatment program.

What is Hair Loss?

The term hair loss kind of defines itself. It generally refers to hair that we lose from our scalp. While we may lose a few strands and not notice it, when the scalp starts to show through due to thinning hair or larger patches of hair begin to disappear, it can affect more than just the way we look.

Our hair can be tied to our identity, and when we lose hair, it can feel like we are losing a part of ourselves, especially when a receding hairline and hair thinning are so often tied to getting older.

There are many different types of hair loss, including male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness, alopecia, and alopecia areata (patchy hair loss). Which one is affecting you often depends on what’s causing it.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can be caused by a number of different issues. If hair loss runs in your family, you’re more at risk for hereditary hair loss. Other causes can include:

• Hormonal changes
• Certain medications
• Stress
• Some medical conditions

By stimulating your hair follicles, we can kickstart new hair growth and give you the beautiful and full head of hair you once had.

I have been going to see Dr. Kalimullah and Jennifer since 2017. They have been amazing and have provided the best service and keeping my face looking fresh. Their expertise is incredible and everything they have done for me has been immaculate – never any issues with the laser treatments or injections. They are also really mindful and conservative to ensure I look like me, but just the best version of me. Love this place. Only trust my face to them!

My experience at CDAM was very pleasant. Dr. Cavanaugh and his staff were warm and inviting. He explained the procedure thoroughly and was very gentle, making sure I was comfortable at all times. The medical assistant was nice and explained all the aftercare instructions in detail. My follow up appointment was seamless and efficient as well. I will be returning to CDAM in the future for more aesthetic procedures!
