Hair Loss Treatment Options

Hair loss treatment is not one-size-fits-all. What helps one person may not be appropriate for another, and the right starting point depends on understanding the type of hair loss you have and what may be contributing to it.

At Springs Dermatology MD, we help patients understand their options after evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment may involve medical care, nonsurgical therapies, or, for appropriate candidates, surgical hair restoration through our sister practice  Springs Hair Restoration.

Our goal is not to offer the longest list of treatments. It is to help you understand which options make sense for your hair, your diagnosis, and your long-term goals.

Finding the Right Treatment for Your Hair Loss

If you are noticing increased shedding, thinning, a widening part, recession, or areas of visible hair loss, it is understandable to want to start treatment immediately.

But different forms of hair loss require different approaches.

Some conditions may improve when an underlying medical or inflammatory problem is treated. Others may require ongoing medical management. And for certain types of permanent hair loss, restoration may eventually become part of the plan.

That is why treatment begins with understanding what is causing the change.

Medical & Nonsurgical Hair Loss Treatments

Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may include one or more medical or nonsurgical approaches.

Options may include:

• Prescription topical treatments

• Physician-monitored oral medications

• Steroid injections for certain inflammatory forms of hair loss

• Regenera Activa

• Keravive by HydraFacial

• Advanced injection treatments

• Light-based therapies when appropriate

Not every treatment is appropriate for every type of hair loss. Recommendations are individualized according to the diagnosis, medical history, hair characteristics, and treatment goals.

When Surgical Hair Restoration May Be an Option

For some patients, medical or nonsurgical treatment alone may not restore hair that has been permanently lost.

When surgical restoration is appropriate, patients can explore FUE and FUT hair transplantation through Springs Hair Restoration, our dedicated hair-loss and restoration practice.

Under the direction of Dr. Zack Charkawi, an ABHRS Diplomate, patients are evaluated individually to determine whether surgery is appropriate and which approach may best fit their pattern of hair loss, donor hair, hair characteristics, and long-term goals.

Treatment That Starts With the Individual

Hair loss can be frustrating, especially when you are presented with countless products, procedures, and promises before you even know what is causing the problem.

At Springs Dermatology MD, Dr. Zack Charkawi, an ABHRS Diplomate, and Dr. Shereen Timani, a board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon, and dermatopathologist, evaluate hair loss and help patients understand the options that may be appropriate for their individual needs.

For some patients, that may mean treating an underlying condition. For others, it may involve ongoing medical or nonsurgical care. And when permanent hair loss makes surgical restoration appropriate, Springs Hair Restoration provides a dedicated pathway for that care.

The goal is a plan built around your diagnosis rather than a treatment chosen simply because it is available.
