This is a great, very common, question a recent patient asked. Minoxidil is a widely used medication for hair restoration, but many people may need help understanding how it works or its potential benefits and risks. I want to educate the basics of minoxidil used in combination with microneedling to help you make more informed decisions about your hair restoration options.

Our hair loss consultations involve comprehensive examination and testing to get to the root of the issue.

A black market clinic is a rogue clinic staffed by technicians or non-doctors (sometimes including one doctor to mislead patients) facilitating illegal practices. This is happening all over the United States.

Alopecia is a general term, and, despite incorrect usage of the word by many media outlets, is not a specific diagnosis per-se.

An itchy scalp is a widespread symptom that brings many patients in for a consultation. Itch or pruritus is an uncomfortable tingling or uneasy sensation associated with a desire to scratch. Ranging from mild annoyance to an uncontrollable, disabling condition, scalp itch is a significant and distressing symptom of different cutaneous and systemic diseases.

This information was taken from “Scalp Itch: A Systemic Review”.

The skin on the body heals by forming a scar, usually unavoidable, and different scars on different body parts can more noticeable and prominent than others. Typically these scars on the body can be responsive to plastic surgery correction, but what if the scar is in a hair-baring area like the scalp or beard area? You can't always just cut the old scar out of these locations.

I wanted to share the account of a female patient I have been treating for almost two years.
