Contact UsWhat Is Alopecia?
Alopecia areata is identified by the rapid loss of hair on the scalp, leading to patchy and random bald spots. It is a hereditary condition with a gradual process of baldness, but it can begin to show up as early as puberty for both men and women and is occasionally known as female or male pattern hair loss. Alopecia is extremely prevalent and will most likely influence you or someone you love at some point, which is why board-certified dermatologist Dr. Calvin Williams offers some of the most innovative hair restoration solutions. Schedule a consultation at Essential Dermatology Group in Bedford, TX if you suspect you have alopecia or any other hair condition.
What Are Treatment Options for Alopecia?
Depending on the degree and severity of your hair loss, there are different options available. For mild alopecia cases, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) uses your own growth factors to promote the regrowth of follicles that are damaged. However, when these nonsurgical therapies are not effective, follicle unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant surgery can be performed. Dr. Williams provides a minimally invasive FUE treatment using a highly advanced system that efficiently extracts viable hair follicles and carefully puts them where the damaged or missing ones were, covering the balding areas and offering a fast recovery time of just a couple of days.
Alopecia Reviews
I give this office a perfect five out of five rating. While I drove myself crazy searching for the best dermatologist in the area, being from another state, they exceeded my expectations. After extensive research and reading reviews, my journey went from the distress of hair loss and thinning to regaining my confidence through rapid hair growth and positive support. Shout to Dr. Cooper! But it didn't stop there. I was later diagnosed with rosacea, and even as I walked in with a rosy face and tears, they had a box on the counter offering a chance to win 20 units of Botox. I thought, why not try my luck since I feel like I'm falling apart? To my surprise, after 49 years, I won something! I'm treating myself right before my 50th birthday. I highly recommend checking out these amazing people!
I had been experiencing traction alopecia for a while. My hair would not grow in no matter what I tried. A friend referred me to Dr Williams. I've been going to him for a few months now. My hair is FINALLY filling in. Just do what he tells you and you will get the results you want. Not only that, he and his staff are also friendly and welcoming.
I cannot recommend Dr. Williams highly enough for his exceptional care in diagnosing and treating my sudden hair loss and skin changes. As someone with African American 4C natural hair and unique melenated skin and scalp concerns, I was particularly impressed with his deep understanding and expertise in addressing these issues. On my first visit, I walked into his office with a ziploc bag full of my hair and an extremely inflammed scalp. He not only provided an accurate diagnosis but also delivered effective treatment with remarkable results with both natural and medicated options. Several visits later, Dr. Williams has treated other skin concerns as well. His bedside manner is truly outstanding—he listens with genuine empathy and addresses concerns thoughtfully. While he remains realistic and honest about the challenges and expectations, his compassionate approach made me feel fully supported throughout the process. If you’re seeking a knowledgeable and caring dermatologist who excels in treating diverse skin and hair types, Dr. Williams is an excellent choice.
