Hair Loss

Our practice focuses on 3 types of hair loss (alopecia):

  • Alopecia areata (loss of hair in patches)
  • Androgenic alopecia (hormonally driven hair loss)
  • Telogen Effluvium (sudden hair loss linked to stress, diet, or other environmental factors)

The type of hair loss that a patient has will determine which treatment option may be most effective.

Skin Cancer Prevention

At DermUtopia, we encourage our patients to have a full body skin exam at least once a year. Skin exams may be more frequent depending on history of skin cancer and sun exposure. Some of the most common types of skin cancers that Dr. Dintiman screens for include Basal Cell Carcinomas, Squamous Cell Carcinomas, Melanomas, and Actinic Keratoses (precancerous skin lesions).
