If you’re worried about hair loss, it is important to consult with a both your primary doctor and an experienced hair restoration physician—a doctor who specializes exclusively in the medical diagnosis, treatments and tracking of hair loss and regrowth. Only a qualified and experienced hair restoration physician can prescribe the most effective multi-therapy treatment options, including the latest available medical treatments and minimally-invasive transplants.
