Hair Loss Diagnosis & Treatment
Conveniently located to serve New York City
Both male and female pattern hair loss are chronic in nature and may be characterized by periods of quiet/calm and periods of shedding/hair loss. Often, these conditions carry with them a heavy emotional burden.
Fortunately, there are effective non-surgical hair loss treatments that can restore thicker, fuller hair. Under the care of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Evan Rieder at 36 North Moore Dermatology in NYC, hair restoration treatments have helped countless men and women achieve their hair regrowth goals and enjoy a renewed sense of confidence.
Dr. Rieder has extensive experience and training in the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss and is considered an expert in the management of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss).
What Causes Hair Loss?
There are several possible causes of thinning hair, including:
-
Genetics – Hereditary factors can make certain individuals more prone to hair loss conditions like female or male pattern baldness.
-
Hormonal changes – Fluctuations in hormones, such as those associated with pregnancy, menopause, thyroid imbalances, or andropause can disrupt hair growth cycles, leading to temporary or long-term hair loss.
-
Medical conditions – Conditions like alopecia areata, autoimmune disorders, and scalp infections can cause hair loss by directly affecting hair follicles or interfering with normal hair growth.
-
Lifestyle – Poor nutrition, high-stress levels, lack of sleep, and unhealthy habits like smoking can weaken hair and disrupt hair growth, making hair more susceptible to thinning and falling out.
Dr. Rieder is meticulous in diagnosing the reason a patient is losing hair, as an accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
Hair Loss Diagnosis
Having treated hair loss for many years, Dr. Rieder has developed his own unique method for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. This process involves an extensive initial intake where history is reviewed, a thorough examination is performed, and clinical measurements are made. In certain instances, laboratory work and biopsies will be discussed or performed.
When a diagnosis is confirmed, treatment recommendations are discussed. Sometimes, a diagnosis other than male or female pattern hair loss may be revealed, thus opening up a different avenue of options. If female or male pattern hair loss is diagnosed, Dr. Rieder will discuss treatment options that are designed to fit with each patient’s personal preferences.
Hair Loss Treatment Options
Depending on the patient’s needs, Dr. Rieder may recommend topical prescription medication, oral prescription medication, natural treatments (diet and supplements), and/or in-office procedures, such as:
- PRP injections – Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors derived from a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles, promoting thicker, healthier hair.
- LaseMD Ultra – LaseMD Ultra is a non-invasive laser treatment that rejuvenates the scalp and creates micro-channels to allow for better absorption of topical hair growth solutions.
- Keralase – Keralase combines the power of LaseMD Ultra with a specialized serum to enhance scalp health and support healthy hair regrowth.
In severe cases where medical and procedural therapies have failed, Dr. Rieder is in close touch with the best network of doctors for the treatment of complex scarring hair loss disorders and surgical hair restoration.
