Alopecias

Edited byPierre Bouhanna, MD, Hair Bouhanna Center, Paris, France

"This book is an extremely well-written text that provides an international perspective on hair loss and hair transplantation…The photographs in the chapter on management of acquired primary cicatricial alopecia are particularly helpful...For Doctors who are new to hair surgery and with little experience treating hair loss, this book is a must-read." - Nicole E. Rogers, MD, FISHRS, Hair Transplant Forum International"The authors are experienced in a range of surgical and medical techniques for treating alopecia… Every dermatologist who treats alopecia will feel more confident in diagnosing and treating these challenging patients after reading Dr. Trueb's book. He has great clinical insights into alopecia and excellent explanations on how to incorporate and interpret trichoscopy into the evaluation." - Patricia Wong, MD(Private Practice), Doody's Book Review Service
