Hair Loss Evaluation at the Center for Dermatology

At the Center for Dermatology, patients experiencing hair loss are evaluated with thorough, evidence-based care. Hair shedding may be caused by genetics, illness, hormonal shifts, or inflammation, and each requires a different approach. We offer clinical diagnostics, expert-led treatments, and supportive guidance at every step.

About Hair Loss

Hair loss can affect the scalp or entire body and may be temporary or permanent. Some patients lose hair in patches, while others notice diffuse thinning. Causes range from autoimmune disease and medications to aging and hereditary factors. Addressing the underlying trigger is key to restoring and maintaining healthy hair growth.

How Is Hair Loss Treatment Approached?

Hair loss treatment begins with a diagnosis and may involve topical or oral medication, lifestyle modification, or regenerative therapies. One of the most promising nonsurgical options is PRP for hair loss, which uses your body’s own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate follicles and support regrowth. Our treatment options address the following:

Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
Telogen effluvium (post-stress or post-illness shedding)
Alopecia areata (autoimmune patchy hair loss)
Traction alopecia (caused by tight hairstyles)
Hormonal hair thinning (perimenopause, thyroid, postpartum)
Medication- or illness-related shedding

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A consultation is the first step in assessing the cause of your hair loss and whether PRP or another treatment is appropriate. Your provider will examine your scalp and may order labs or perform a biopsy, if needed. The following are ideal candidates:

Adults with mild to moderate hair thinning
Patients with early-stage androgenetic alopecia
Individuals with shedding following illness or stress
People with realistic expectations and stable health
Those not ready for or not candidates for surgery

How the Process Works

Every hair loss case begins with a detailed history and exam. Your provider will tailor a care plan based on the cause and severity of your condition.

History of hair loss patterns and triggers
Physical scalp exam and potential lab testing
Diagnosis and explanation of findings
Review of treatment options, including PRP
Administration of therapy and follow-up planning

Recovery and Long-Term Outlook

Most patients return to normal activity the same day after treatment. With PRP, some mild redness or sensitivity may occur at the injection site. Visible improvements typically begin after several weeks, with full benefits building over three to six months. Maintenance sessions may be recommended for continued results.

Hair Loss Frequently Asked Questions

Can PRP regrow all lost hair?

PRP can stimulate existing follicles but will not regrow hair in areas where follicles are entirely gone. Early treatment gives the best results.

Are the injections painful?

PRP involves multiple small injections. Most patients tolerate it well, and numbing agents can be used to reduce discomfort.

Is hair loss reversible?

Some types of hair loss are reversible, especially if treated early. Others, like scarring alopecia, are not, but symptoms can often be managed.

Do you treat women with hair thinning?

Yes. We evaluate and treat female patients with hormonal hair loss, postpartum shedding, and other common causes of thinning.

Can hair loss be a sign of illness?

Yes. Conditions like thyroid disease, lupus, and nutritional deficiencies can cause shedding. We review your history and may order labs when appropriate.
