Hair Loss

What is Leg Hair Loss?

It is no secret that as we get older, our bodies begin to change. The decrease of hormones in our bodies can cause a wide range of changes including hair loss. That being said, hair loss on the legs can often be a symptom of a much more dangerous underlying condition. When coupled with other symptoms, including skin discoloration, leg rashes, and open sores and ulcers, leg hair loss can be a sign that your veins are not functioning properly. If you have two or more of these symptoms, we encourage you to make an appointment to consult with one of our board-certified vein and artery specialists as soon as you can.

What Causes Leg Hair Loss?

Leg hair loss can either be a result of hormonal changes in the body or a symptom that your system is not working the way that it should. When caused by a vein condition, the hair on your legs stops growing because the hair follicles are not getting the blood supply they need in order to survive. This may be caused by failing venous valves that do not allow the blood to properly circulate through the body. If you are experiencing varicose veins or skin discoloration along with your leg hair loss we encourage you make an appointment to consult with one of our board-certified vein and artery specialists as soon as you can.
