Medical Hair Loss Treatment

Medical Hair Loss Treatment

‍

At Primary Care for Hair, we understand the emotional toll that hair loss can take, especially in the aftermath of COVID-19. Our comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis process aim to uncover the root cause of your hair loss, providing you with personalized treatment options tailored to your needs.

‍

Evaluation & Diagnosis

Our experienced medical team begins by conducting a thorough consultation, during which we listen attentively to your concerns and gather detailed information about your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any recent experiences with COVID-19 or related treatments. We understand that hair loss can be multifactorial, and our holistic approach ensures that no potential contributing factors are overlooked.

During the evaluation process, we perform a careful examination of your scalp and hair follicles to assess the extent and pattern of hair loss. This may involve using specialized tools and techniques to magnify the scalp and identify any underlying conditions such as inflammation, infection, or scarring.

Lab Testing (if necessary)

In some cases, laboratory testing may be necessary to further evaluate the underlying causes of hair loss. Our clinic offers a range of comprehensive lab tests designed to assess various factors that could contribute to hair loss, including hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, and thyroid dysfunction.

Depending on your individual needs, these tests may include:

• Hormone levels: Assessing levels of hormones such as testosterone, DHT (dihydrotestosterone), thyroid hormones, and cortisol can provide valuable insights into hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to hair loss.
• Nutritional status: Testing for deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, vitamin D, and B vitamins, can help identify nutritional factors that may be affecting hair health.
• Scalp biopsy: In cases where the cause of hair loss is unclear, a scalp biopsy may be recommended to obtain a small sample of tissue for microscopic examination, helping to diagnose conditions such as alopecia areata or scarring alopecia.

Our dedicated team will guide you through the process of undergoing any necessary lab tests, ensuring that you receive accurate and timely results to inform your treatment plan.

Treatment

Once a comprehensive evaluation and any necessary lab testing have been completed, we work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to address the underlying causes of your hair loss and restore optimal hair health.

Depending on your specific needs, your treatment plan may include a combination of medical therapies, lifestyle modifications, and supportive care measures. These may include:

• Prescription medications: Depending on the underlying cause of your hair loss, your doctor may prescribe medications such as minoxidil, finasteride, or corticosteroids to promote hair growth, reduce inflammation, or block the effects of hormones implicated in hair loss.
• TED Hair Restoration: TED Hair Restoration stands apart from conventional hair restoration methods due to its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgical procedures or invasive treatments, TED Hair Restoration utilizes ultrasound technology to stimulate dormant hair follicles, encouraging them to reawaken and produce new hair growth.

• Nutritional supplementation: Addressing nutritional deficiencies through targeted supplementation with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients can help support healthy hair growth from within.
• Scalp treatments: Topical treatments such as medicated shampoos, serums, or corticosteroid injections may be recommended to address scalp inflammation, infection, or other conditions affecting hair follicle function.
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: PRP therapy involves extracting a sample of your own blood, processing it to isolate platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors, and injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth and improve hair density.
• Lifestyle modifications: Making changes to your diet, stress management techniques, and other lifestyle factors can play a significant role in optimizing hair health and reducing the impact of hair loss.
