Hair Restoration

Hair loss is a natural occurrence. On the average, most people will lose about 100-125 hairs each day. Fortunately, these hairs are replaced with new hair growth. However if you are one of the thousands of individuals whose hair loss is greater than its regrowth you may be facing true hair loss or balding patterns.

Once thought to be a concern only for men, hair loss is a serious issue that an equal number of woman face today. The most common type of hair loss we see in women is androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern alopecia. Affecting approximately one-third of all susceptible women, the hair loss is normally a thinning predominantly over the top and sides of the head. It most commonly affects women after menopause, but it can begin as early as puberty.

The professionals at West Dermatology understand the stressful and emotional impact losing your hair may cause. We now offer hair restoration treatments to help in your battle to stop hair loss and in some cases, generate new growth.

Working closely with you, we investigate the numerous factors that can play a role in causing your hair loss such as physical stress, hereditary concerns, environmental issues or hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause. Taking into consideration your individual situation, West Dermatology can counsel you on the best course for your hair restoration program.

A United Effort

To provide you with optimum results, we offer medical-grade topical medications that are available only through a physician. The two most popular and effective products are Propecia and Rogaine (Minoxidil). Propecia is the only prescription medication in a pill form that is approved by the FDA to treat male pattern hair loss. Rogaine is a topical medication that is applied directly to the scalp. Although it serves as an alternative for men, this is the only FDA-approved medication currently available to treat female pattern hair loss. We also offer hair transplantation procedures for both men and women.

The team of dedicated professionals at West Dermatology looks forward to working closely with you to select an appropriate treatment and products that meet your individual needs. Our experienced staff can discuss your options and explain the benefits you can expect to gain through an advanced hair restoration program.
