Hair Loss Is More Common Than You Think, And Treatable

At Luxe Dermatology, hair loss is one of the most common concerns we evaluate — and one of the most misunderstood.

Whether you’re noticing increased shedding, gradual thinning, or visible changes in your hairline, you’re not alone. Hair loss affects both men and women and can occur at nearly any stage of life. The key is early evaluation and personalized treatment.

Under the care of Dr. Moore and her team, we take a medical-first approach to understanding the root cause — because successful treatment starts with the right diagnosis.

What’s Normal — And What’s Not?

Losing 50–100 hairs per day is normal. Hair naturally cycles through growth and shedding phases.

However, you should seek evaluation if you notice:

  • Sudden or excessive shedding

  • Thinning at the crown or widening part

  • A receding hairline

  • Patchy hair loss

  • Scalp itching, burning, or tenderness

These signs often point to an underlying condition that can — and should — be addressed.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss is rarely “just genetics.” Contributing factors may include:

Genetic (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Gradual thinning in men and women.

Hormonal Changes
Postpartum shifts, menopause, thyroid imbalance, PCOS.

Stress or Illness (Telogen Effluvium)
Major life events, surgery, illness, or rapid weight changes can trigger temporary shedding.

Nutritional Deficiencies
Low iron, vitamin D, B12, or protein intake.

Inflammatory Scalp Conditions
Psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, or other scalp inflammation.

Medication Side Effects

A comprehensive dermatologic evaluation helps distinguish temporary shedding from progressive hair loss.

The Luxe Dermatology Approach

At Luxe Dermatology, we focus on medical accuracy, evidence-based treatments, and individualized plans.

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:

  • Prescription topical or oral medications

  • Medical-grade supplementation

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy

  • Laser therapy

  • Treatment of underlying scalp inflammation

Hair restoration is not one-size-fits-all. It is strategic, consistent, and personalized.

What to Expect at Your Hair Loss Consultation

Your consultation is designed to be thorough and diagnostic. During your visit, you can expect:

  • Full hair and scalp analysis

  • Photography to track hair thickness and density over time

  • Discussion of your medical history, lifestyle, and hair concerns

  • In some cases, scalp biopsy and/or blood work may be recommended

  • A comprehensive treatment plan, which may include:

    • Dietary suggestions

    • Topical therapies

    • Vitamins or supplements

    • Sometimes injectable treatments

Our goal is to identify the cause of your hair loss and create a targeted plan that gives you the best chance for improvement.

 How to Prepare for Your Consultation

To help us provide the most accurate evaluation:

  • Arrive with hair clean and worn loose so it can be easily examined

  • Be prepared for photos of your scalp and hair

  • Bring any recent bloodwork if available

  • Bring a list of current medications and supplements

  • Photos of your hair from the past can be helpful to establish a baseline

What to Expect from Treatment

Hair growth takes time. Most patients see meaningful improvement after several months of consistent treatment. Our goals are to:

  • Slow or halt progression

  • Preserve existing density

  • Stimulate regrowth where possible

Early intervention significantly improves outcomes.
