Pediatric Alopecia Specialists

Most hair professionals don't work with children. We do, and we've been doing it long enough to know what works. From custom hair systems fitted with 3D scanning to scalp therapy and trichology, we have the tools to address your child's alopecia at every stage, without surgery. If your child is dealing with hair loss, you've found the right people.

Understanding
Alopecia in Children

Alopecia areata affects roughly 6.6 million Americans, including hundreds of thousands of children. It's an autoimmune condition where the body mistakenly attacks hair follicles. In children, it can appear suddenly, sometimes overnight, which adds another layer of unpredictability.

Children can experience small patches, widespread thinning, or complete scalp loss (alopecia totalis). Occasionally it progresses to alopecia universalis, affecting all body hair. For some, hair regrows spontaneously. For others, it doesn't.

Unlike pattern baldness, which children understand as normal aging, alopecia is sudden and visible. 

Common Causes

Genetic Predisposition

Alopecia areata often runs in families and coexists with other autoimmune conditions.

Stress And Emotional Triggers

Stress may trigger onset or flares, though it's not the root cause.

Associated Conditions

Alopecia areata can coexist with thyroid disease, vitiligo, and other autoimmune conditions.

What to Expect

Your first visit is a private, no-pressure consultation. We start by listening to your child. What are they experiencing? What matters most to them? Do they want their original hair back, or try something new?

We use 3D scanning to create a custom system perfectly fitted to your child's head. It's not a generic wig. It's a personalized solution that looks like their own hair. We keep everything gentle and fast. The system is lightweight and breathable. And we help you establish a maintenance routine that's realistic for your family.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.

  • Can my child do normal activities?

    Absolutely. The system is secure, lightweight, and designed for active kids. Your child can go to school, play sports, swim, and do everything their peers do.

  • Will the system damage remaining hair?

    No. We apply systems gently and don't damage existing hair or scalp. With proper care, there's no risk to remaining follicles.

  • What if alopecia spreads while wearing the system?

    We adjust. We monitor progress and modify the system as coverage needs change. We also check in with your child to ensure they're comfortable as circumstances evolve.

  • How do we handle it as my child grows?

    Children's heads grow and change, especially ages 5-15. We adjust sizing and fit as needed. We also help with styling changes as your child's tastes evolve.
