Hair loss
Hair loss has many causes, from genetics and hormones to stress, illness and low iron. The sooner the cause is found, the more hair can be kept. Your visit starts with a close look at the scalp and, if needed, blood work.
Signs to look for
More shedding. More hair in the brush or the shower drain.
A wider part. A widening part or a thinning crown.
Bald patches. Round, smooth patches with no hair.
Sudden loss. Shedding after illness, stress or a big change.
How we treat it
Topical treatment. Minoxidil and prescription solutions to slow loss and regrow hair.
Oral medicine. Tablets that target hormonal or patterned hair loss.
Scalp injections. In-office injections for patchy hair loss.
