Hair Loss
Scalp
Every 3-4 months for the first year
Most insurance and Medicare accepted
Hair loss has many causes: genetics, stress, illness, iron or thyroid problems and scalp conditions. Finding the cause comes first, because treatment depends on it.
Signs to look for
More hair in the brush or drain, a widening part, a receding hairline, round bald patches, or an itchy, scaly scalp.
Treatment options
Scalp exam, dermoscopy and blood work to find the cause.
Topical and oral treatment, steroid injections for patchy loss, and a plan you can stick to.
Questions we hear
How long before treatment works? Hair grows slowly. Judge results at six months, not six weeks.
Do I need a biopsy? Sometimes, when the scalp shows scarring or the cause isn’t clear.
This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Results vary from person to person, and every treatment carries some risk. A spot that bleeds, grows quickly or looks unlike your others should be seen within days.
