Overview
Understanding beard & patchy growth
Patchy beard growth may be constitutional, or it may reflect a treatable condition such as alopecia areata, fungal infection or scarring from prior inflammation. Assessment establishes which, before any treatment is discussed.
At Own Skin Dermatology & Advanced Aesthetics we treat the cause, not just the appearance, which is why every plan starts with an examination.
