Hair Loss Treatment
at Mosaic Dermatology in West Fargo
We offer comprehensive care for hair loss, also known as alopecia, which can affect the scalp or entire body. Hair loss may result from genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, or stress.
Types of Hair Loss We Treat
- Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as pattern baldness, including female pattern hair loss and male pattern hair loss, this type of hair loss occurs gradually due to genetic and hormonal factors.
- Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss on the scalp, face, or body.
- Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A form of scarring alopecia characterized by hair loss along the front hairline and eyebrows, commonly affecting postmenopausal women.
- Traction Alopecia: Caused by repeated tension on hair from tight hairstyles like ponytails, braids, or extensions.
- Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair loss triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, resulting in sudden hair shedding.
Symptoms of Hair Loss
Symptoms can vary from person to person but may include:
- Gradual thinning on the scalp.
- Patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows.
- Sudden loosening of hair, leading to excessive shedding.
- Receding hairline, especially in cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia.
Treatment Options
Our customized treatment plans may include:
- Topical medications such as Minoxidil (Rogaine) to stimulate hair growth.
- Oral therapies like Finasteride, Spironolactone and Minoxidil for a variety of hair loss conditions.
- Corticosteroid injections for autoimmune-related hair loss, such as alopecia areata and frontal fibrosing alopecia.
- Novel prescription medication (JAK inhibitors) for severe cases of alopecia areata.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: A regenerative treatment using your own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and promote natural hair regrowth.
Now Offering PRP for Hair Restoration
We are excited to announce that we now offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss.
PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated sample of your own platelets to deliver natural growth factors directly into the scalp. This stimulates dormant hair follicles, improves scalp health, and promotes stronger, healthier hair growth.
These treatments are effective for both female and male pattern hair loss, and offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for patients seeking a more natural approach.
Treatment Plan: PRP therapy typically requires a series of treatments, usually once a month for the first three months, followed by maintenance injections every four to six months, depending on individual response.
This is a great option for patients looking to restore thinning hair with little downtime and minimal risk.
When to Seek Professional Care
If you experience sudden or patchy hair loss, receding hairline, or excessive shedding, it’s essential to seek professional care. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further loss and encourage regrowth.
