Hair loss (alopecia) in men and women can have cosmetic and emotional impact on their well being. Fortunately, there are several options available to address this common issue.
For new onset hair loss, especially in women, a medical workup may be indicated. A variety of medical conditions, such as anemia, thyroid disturbance, iron and vitamin D deficiencies and autoimmune diseases can cause hair loss. If there is a medical reason for hair loss, addressing that issue can result in hair restoration.
For those with “pattern” hair loss, for which there is no underlying medical problem, there are several options. In addition to topical minoxidil, available over the counter, our doctors may prescribe medicines that can promote hair growth by addressing hormonal triggers for alopecia.
