Hair Loss Guide · NYC
Genetics, DHT, stress, postpartum, iron, thyroid — hair loss has many causes, and the right fix depends entirely on which one you have. Here's how to tell.
Not all hair loss is the same. Genetic (DHT-driven) loss is permanent and progressive, while shedding from stress, postpartum changes, iron deficiency or thyroid issues is often reversible — which is exactly why getting the diagnosis right matters before any treatment.
Each behaves differently and responds to a different plan.
We combine a scalp analysis with relevant bloodwork to pinpoint the cause, then recommend the lightest effective plan — medical, regenerative or surgical. If you don't need surgery, we'll tell you.
They actually diagnosed me instead of selling me surgery. Turned out it was iron — and they fixed it.
Most hair loss falls into a few buckets, and they’re treated very differently:
Because some causes are permanent and others fully reversible, treating the wrong one wastes time and money. Sudden diffuse shedding may just need an underlying issue corrected; gradual patterned thinning is genetic and benefits from early maintenance or a transplant. A scalp analysis distinguishes which is which — the single most useful first step before deciding on any treatment.
