Hair Loss Treatment

Finding a few hairs in your brush or comb is natural, and all part of the way your hair regenerates itself. For many men and women, the hair left in the shower or comb is more than natural shedding -- it is the result of thinning hair. The cause of hair loss is specific to each individual, which is why it is so important to have a board-certified dermatologist examine, diagnose, and treat your condition.

Starting Treatment

Hair thinning or actual loss of hair can be truly devastating. The key is getting to the root of what the cause is. Thinning hair can be caused by a variety of things from stress to genetics. While some causes are only temporary, most result in permanent hair loss. Treatment can often prevent further loss of hair.

As the experts of hair, skin, and nails, our dermatologists understand that hair loss can be a very challenging condition to treat. We explore any and all possible medical reasons for what may be causing the condition.

The Process of Treatment

Hair loss can present in a variety of ways, including shedding, thinning, bald patches, and hairline recession. Once you have determined there is a problem, make an appointment with a dermatologist specializing in hair loss for an evaluation, examination of the hair and hair follicles, and possible scalp biopsy and blood work if needed. Depending on the specific type of hair loss, treatment and regrowth of hair may be possible.

Treatment options can include medications both orally and topically, PRP injections, and supplements. Our dermatologists will steer every patient in the right direction.

PRP Treatments

If natural aging is the reason for hair loss, we offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments to help restore lost hair. This treatment uses your own natural plasma to help hair grow in density, thickness, and volume. Typically four treatments are needed a month apart, with a maintenance schedule determined by the treating provider.
