Women experiencing female hair loss often do not know whether to consult a hair loss specialist or a dermatologist. Hair loss definitely falls under the scope of dermatology. But female hair loss should be treated by a hair loss specialist.
This is because treating female hair loss requires a deeper understanding of the hair follicle and potential causes of hair loss than most medical practitioners have. There is no board certification for hair loss or special training programs for dermatologists. The medical practitioners at Medi Tresse, on the other hand, have completely dedicated their careers to treating hair loss. They understand the underlying causes and have developed best available treatments based on years of research and experience.
Medi Tresse hair loss specialists have the knowledge and experience to treat all types of female hair loss.
This is not to say that dermatologists do not know anything when it comes to female hair loss. Hair loss does fall under the scope of dermatology. But not all dermatologists are hair loss specialists, and not all hair loss specialists are dermatologists. Hair loss specialists, however, are medical professionals who have trained extensively in the research and knowledge behind hair loss.
Female hair loss and treatment is incredibly complex. It requires individualized attention, as each patient is unique. There is not one hair loss treatment that works for everyone. There could be multiple factors to determine the root cause(s), and a hair loss specialist has the unique perspective to be able to develop a customized treatment.
Because the treatment of hair loss requires such specialized expertise, many dermatologists actually refer their hair loss patients to Medi Tresse.
Effective treatment for female pattern hair loss starts by finding the root cause. To get an accurate diagnosis, the Medi Tresse team requires an initial consultation at a location most convenient to you.
