Alopecia, which is a general term for hair loss, can present in a variety of ways, which can affect both men and women. Some patients experience increased shedding (hair coming out), while others have thinning (scalp more visible or thinner ponytails), bald patches and hair line recession. Triggers of may include genetic and environmental factors, stress, illness, medications, changes in weight or diet, use of damaging hair care products or excessive heat styling.

Dr. Mackay-Wiggan diagnoses and treats all forms of alopecia and leads national and international clinical research trials.  She appreciates the practice’s philosophy of spending more time with patients, which allows time for educating and explaining all treatment options, so doctors and patients can make informed decisions together.

Dr. Mackay-Wiggan says, “Even when there are limited treatments available, I can give patients a good understanding of what is happening and why, and I can offer advice, support and tips for what they can do to optimize the situation”.
