Hair Loss Evaluation
Thinning hair and hair loss evaluated carefully, so you know the cause before you start treating it.
Hair loss has many causes, including hereditary patterns, hormones, thyroid conditions, stress, nutritional gaps, medications, and scalp conditions. Treating the wrong one wastes months, so the visit starts with figuring out which is yours.
We review your history, including recent illness, major stress, changes in medication, and family patterns, then examine your scalp and hair closely. Bloodwork or a small scalp sample may be recommended when that would clarify the picture.
Options depend entirely on the diagnosis and may include topical or oral medications, treatment of an underlying scalp condition, or other therapies. You will get a realistic sense of what each can and cannot do before you commit.
Some kinds of hair loss respond much better when they are treated early, and a few can cause permanent loss if the underlying inflammation goes unaddressed. If you have noticed a change, an early visit keeps more options open.
Hair grows slowly, so meaningful change takes months rather than weeks. Follow-up visits, and sometimes photos, track what is actually happening so your plan can be adjusted rather than guessed at.
