Start with the Right Diagnosis
Hair loss or scalp irritation can feel frustrating, emotional, and isolating — and it’s hard to know where to start. Before trying products or cosmetic treatments, you deserve a true medical evaluation to understand why your hair or scalp is changing.
Our dermatology-led team diagnoses the underlying cause first and creates a treatment plan that supports the healthiest possible hair growth for your situation.
What We Treat
We evaluate and manage a full range of medical hair and scalp conditions, including:
- Female-pattern hair thinning
- Male-pattern hair loss
- Postpartum hair shedding
- Telogen effluvium (stress, illness, medications)
- Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)
- Scalp psoriasis
- Seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff + buildup)
- Folliculitis (inflamed follicles)
- Traction alopecia (from hairstyles)
- Scarring alopecias (LPP, CCCA, etc.)
- Hormone- and nutritional-related hair loss
How We Evaluate Hair + Scalp Disorders
Your provider will perform an exam focused on identifying the exact cause of your symptoms.
We may recommend:
- Dermatoscopic scalp evaluation
- Lab testing to find hormonal or nutritional triggers
- Medical prescriptions when appropriate
- Targeted anti-inflammatory treatments
What You Can Expect
- During your visit: We’ll discuss your hair history, recent changes, family history, and any health shifts
- Plan: Designed to treat inflammation, preserve follicles, and support regrowth whenever possible
- Follow-ups: To track results and adjust treatment if needed
- Downtime: None — you continue normal activity
Why Choose a Dermatology-Led Approach
You receive:
- Expert diagnosis from clinicians trained in hair + scalp disease
- Early intervention to protect from permanent follicle loss
- Access to medical therapies not available over the counter
- Oversight from a Board-Certified Dermatologist
- A long-term plan designed around your specific cause
- Safe and sterile technique for any scalp procedures
Insurance + Billing
- Hair and scalp disorder evaluations are typically covered by insurance.
- If you do not have insurance, we offer self-pay visit options, and we will discuss any recommended labs or medical treatments before moving forward.
- You will always understand the purpose of each step in your care.
Before Your Appointment
- Avoid heavy styling products such as gels, sprays, oils, or dry shampoo on the day of your visit. This allows for a clearer evaluation of your scalp and hair condition.
- If possible, avoid coloring, bleaching, perming, or relaxing your hair for at least 5–7 days prior to your appointment.
- If your clinic has requested it, avoid washing your hair the same day so the provider can assess natural oil production and scalp condition.
After Treatment
- Following your consultation, you may receive a customized plan based on the underlying cause of your hair thinning. This can include medical-grade topical or oral treatments, lifestyle or nutritional adjustments, and, if appropriate, in-clinic therapies.
- If treatments or products are prescribed, it is important to follow all instructions exactly as directed.
- Hair restoration is a gradual process, and results do not happen immediately. Visible improvement may take three to six months or longer, depending on the underlying cause and how your body responds to treatment.

If shedding increases for more than 3 months or you notice visible thinning, schedule a visit.

What if someone told me there’s nothing to do?
There are more medical options today than ever before. A fresh evaluation may open new pathways.
Can hair grow back with treatment?
With the right diagnosis and early treatment, many types of hair loss can improve — and even when they can’t be fully reversed, we can often slow the rate of shedding.
