Hair loss can be caused by genetics, hormones, stress, illness, medications, poor nutrition, or autoimmune issues. In both men and women, the most common cause is androgenetic alopecia—also known as male or female pattern hair loss.
It depends on the cause. Genetic hair loss is progressive and doesn’t stop without treatment. Some temporary forms, like telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding), can improve once the underlying trigger is addressed.
These are often combined for stronger results.
Most treatments take 3 to 6 months just to show stabilization. Visible thickening often takes 9 to 12 months, with full results sometimes taking up to 24 months. Consistency is key.
Possibly. Many treatments trigger an early “shedding phase” as weaker hairs fall out to make room for stronger ones. This is normal—and temporary.
For most people, yes. Hair loss is chronic and requires ongoing treatment to maintain results. Stopping treatment typically leads to renewed shedding and a return to your baseline.
Like all medications, side effects are possible but often rare or mild. Dr. Yaker takes a conservative approach and personalizes your treatment plan to reduce risk and maximize safety.
During your consultation, Dr. Yaker will evaluate your scalp condition, hair loss pattern, lab work, medical history, and lifestyle. No two patients are alike—your plan is built specifically for you.
It’s an AI-generated, high-resolution imaging system that maps your scalp and hair follicles in detail. It helps us measure density, design your treatment or transplant plan with precision, and track your progress.
Yes—nutritional deficiencies (iron, B12, vitamin D, etc.) can worsen hair loss. While supplements alone don’t reverse genetic pattern baldness, they support healthy hair when used as part of a broader treatment strategy.
Downtime is usually 7–14 days. Scabs fall off in 7–10 days. You’ll then shed the transplanted hairs first, then see new growth start around month 4, with full results at 12–18 months.
Yes—female hair restoration surgery is growing rapidly. The key is determining whether you’re a good candidate based on your pattern of loss, donor area, and hair density.
We recommend a follow-up visit once a year to reassess your progress, update your medical history and blood work results, and adjust your treatment plan based on any changes.
