If you're experiencing hair loss, trust our experienced team to diagnose the underlying cause and to create a personalized treatment plan that promotes healthy hair growth. 

What Causes Hair Loss?

Many people experience hair loss, especially as they age. There are many reasons why people lose hair. The age at which hair loss begins is often determined by genetics – if your parents lost hair early, you might too. Other reasons for early or sudden hair loss include:

• Physical or emotional stress.
• Reaction to medication.
• Nutritional deficiencies.
• Thyroid disease.
• Low blood levels.
• Overly aggressive hair care.

Hair Loss Treatments

Dermatologists are specialists in diseases of the hair, as well as skin, and can help with diagnosis and treatment of hair loss. If hair loss is related to an issue like thyroid disease or anemia, they’ll work to treat the root cause. Additional treatment options include: 

• Topical solutions: Products like minoxidil are often recommended to stimulate hair growth and slow down thinning.
• Oral medications: Prescription medications such as finasteride can help block hormones contributing to hair loss.
• Lifestyle advice: Dietary changes, stress management techniques and scalp care routines can support healthy hair.
