However, the exact cause of hair loss isn’t always known and could result from more than one risk factor. 

Which hair loss treatment is best for me?

Your Kessel Dermatology specialist determines which hair loss treatment best suits you after examining your scalp and hair, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your desired results. They may recommend blood tests to check for hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other common causes of thinning hair before tailoring your treatment plan.
