Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Loss Treatment?

Hair loss treatments can benefit a wide range of patients, particularly individuals experiencing active hair loss or those noticing early signs of thinning who want to take preventive action. The best candidates are those who understand that successful treatment requires a commitment to long-term care and who maintain realistic expectations about treatment outcomes.
Since hair loss can have many different causes, patients should be prepared to work with our dermatologists to identify the specific type of hair loss they’re experiencing and develop an appropriate, personalized treatment plan. A thorough consultation is required to evaluate your condition, discuss your goals, and determine the most effective treatment approach for your specific situation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment protocols are tailored to your specific diagnosis and type of hair loss. Your journey begins with an initial consultation where our dermatologists perform a detailed scalp examination to assess your condition.
In some cases, a scalp biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine the underlying cause of your hair loss. Based on these findings, we develop a customized treatment plan designed to address your specific needs and concerns.
Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular follow-up visits with our team to monitor your progress and evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment. We continuously assess your response and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
