Alopecia from Picking at the Scalp
I am 41 years old. I suffered from Trichotillomania for many years. The hair on top of my head never completely grew back, but there was always some. About 5 years ago, my hairdresser gave me some hair pieces to clip in to my existing hair. This has worked great until recently. It seems that over time, this has made me completely loose the hair on my scalp where the clips attach. I am interested to see if I would be a candidate for your services.
If you have stopped picking at your scalp, hair transplants work well for dealing with either the bald area from the picking or the area where the clips caused hair loss. They key is that the offending process must be stopped or the balding will return again.
