Our team of experts is dedicated to providing personalized hair loss evaluation and treatment options that are tailored to each individual's unique needs.
Expert Evaluation for Effective Treatment
When you visit Smith, Arthur F, MD for an initial hair loss evaluation, you can expect a comprehensive and thorough examination. Our highly trained and experienced professionals will take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any underlying conditions that may contribute to hair loss.
Medical History and Lifestyle Assessment
During your initial consultation, our team will conduct an in-depth discussion regarding your medical history and lifestyle. We believe in a holistic approach to hair loss evaluation, recognizing that various factors, such as stress, diet, and hormonal imbalances, can play a role in hair thinning or baldness.
Scalp and Hair Examination
Our experts will carefully examine your scalp and hair follicles to identify any visible signs of hair loss or underlying scalp conditions. This may include analyzing the density of your hair, checking for scalp redness or inflammation, and assessing the overall health of your hair follicles.
Diagnostic Tests
In some cases, additional diagnostic tests may be required to determine the underlying causes of hair loss. These tests can include blood work, hormonal panels, trichoscopy, or scalp biopsy, among others. Our team will explain the necessity of these tests and guide you through the process with care and understanding.
Customized Treatment Options
Once a thorough evaluation is complete, our team will discuss personalized treatment options based on the underlying causes and severity of your hair loss. We believe in a comprehensive approach to hair restoration, incorporating both medical and surgical techniques to achieve optimal results.
Non-Surgical Treatments
For individuals experiencing early stages of hair loss or with mild to moderate thinning, non-surgical treatments may be recommended. These can include FDA-approved medications, such as minoxidil or finasteride, as well as low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or scalp microneedling.
Surgical Hair Restoration
In cases where hair loss is advanced or non-surgical treatments have not provided satisfactory results, surgical hair restoration options may be considered. Our experienced surgeons specialize in state-of-the-art techniques, including follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE), to restore natural-looking hair with minimal scarring.
