TREATMENT FOR HAIR LOSS IN TULSA, OK
Noticing more hair in your brush or a wider part can be unsettling. At Cornerstone Dermatology and Skin Surgery Center, our goal is to identify why your hair is thinning and build a treatment plan around your needs.
Hair loss is a medical condition with many possible causes, and effective care begins with an accurate diagnosis. We provide medical hair loss treatment for patients in Tulsa, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Owasso, Sand Springs, and Muskogee.
Common Types of Hair Loss
Not all hair loss looks or behaves the same way. Hereditary thinning, known as androgenetic alopecia, develops gradually and affects both men and women. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes round, smooth patches. Telogen effluvium leads to sudden, widespread shedding after a physical or emotional stressor. Meanwhile, scarring alopecia damages the hair follicle itself, which makes early treatment especially important. A careful exam helps tell these patterns apart.
Why See a Dermatologist
Over-the-counter products cannot tell you why your hair is falling out. A dermatologist examines your scalp and hair closely, often with magnification, and reviews your medical history for possible triggers. When needed, blood work or a scalp biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. Our physicians bring years of dermatology training and experience to every diagnosis.
Personalized Hair Loss Treatment
There is no single solution for thinning hair. Depending on your diagnosis, your hair loss treatment plan may combine prescription medications with in-office procedures such as corticosteroid injections for patchy loss. We explain what each option involves and what realistic expectations look like before you begin. We monitor your progress at follow-up visits and adjust the plan as your hair responds.
