Hair Transplantation to Correct Traction Alopecia in Women
Traction alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by chronic pulling or tension on hair follicles.
Spironolactone has been used for many years to treat hair loss. In our experience it is most effective for patients with acne and/or hair loss due to hormonal imbalances.
