Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about hair loss treatments, procedures, and what to expect.
Hair loss can result from various factors including genetics (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Male and female pattern baldness are the most common forms, caused by genetic predisposition and hormonal factors. Our specialists conduct thorough evaluations to identify the specific cause of your hair loss.
Yes, modern hair loss treatments are highly effective when appropriately matched to the type and cause of hair loss. FDA-approved medications like Minoxidil and Finasteride have success rates of 60-90% in stopping hair loss and promoting regrowth. Advanced therapies like PRP and hair transplants show even higher success rates. The key is early intervention and personalized treatment plans.
Results vary depending on the treatment method. Medical treatments typically show initial improvements in 3-6 months, with optimal results after 12 months. PRP therapy results become visible after 3-4 sessions (3-4 months). Hair transplants show growth at 6 months with full results at 12-18 months. Consistency and patience are essential for successful outcomes.
Most treatments are well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation in some users. Finasteride may have hormonal side effects in a small percentage of men. PRP therapy has minimal risks as it uses your own blood. Hair transplants may involve temporary swelling and discomfort. Our medical team monitors your progress and adjusts treatment as needed to minimize any adverse effects.
Yes, hair transplant surgery provides permanent results. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas resistant to DHT (the hormone responsible for pattern baldness), typically the back and sides of the head. These follicles maintain their resistance even when relocated, meaning the transplanted hair continues to grow naturally for life. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin if underlying hair loss isn't managed.
Absolutely! Women experience hair loss differently than men, often as diffuse thinning rather than receding hairlines. We offer specialized treatments for female pattern hair loss including topical Minoxidil, low-level laser therapy, PRP therapy, and hair transplants when appropriate. Hormonal evaluations and nutritional assessments are often part of our comprehensive approach for women.
Treatment costs vary based on the type and duration of treatment. Medical therapies typically range from $30-100 per month. PRP therapy sessions cost $500-1,000 per session (usually 3-6 sessions initially). Hair transplants range from $4,000-15,000 depending on the extent of restoration needed. We offer free consultations to provide personalized cost estimates and discuss financing options.
