How To Find A Hair Transplant Doctor
A hair transplant surgeon is an MD or DO who specializes in hair loss restoration and is a common search result for hair transplant near me. Hair restoration surgeons typically have formal training in surgery and/or sub-specialty training in cosmetic surgery, dermatology or reconstructive surgery. Board Certified doctors demonstrate their desire to practice at the top of their profession and deliver high-quality care to their patients.
Hair loss can affect both men and women and most commonly results from hereditary conditions. In male pattern baldness, the hair loss occurs in a familiar pattern predominantly at the crown of the head and later recedes from the front. Female pattern of hair loss is more diffuse but still commonly hereditary. Females also tend to have more hair loss resulting from underlying medical conditions.
Clients suffering from permanent patterns of hair loss both focal and diffuse should seek an expert opinion to see if hair transplant is right for them. Important considerations include stage of hair loss, quantity and quality of potential donor sites, and underlying medical conditions.

CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS
CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS
Hereditary hair loss is androgenetic alopecia or more commonly referred to as male pattern baldness. It is the most common cause in both sexes. This results from the detrimental effects of sex hormones (i.e Testoserone) and its derivative on hair follicles. Testosterone shortens the anagen phase (growth) leading hair follicles to shrink or become miniaturized.
Significant hair loss can be the sign of a medical condition that needs evaluation by a specialist, typically dermatology or primary care. Several important considerations are:
- Autoimmune diseases or alopecia areata is when the body forms antibodies against its own hair. Small, defined patchy areas of hair loss are an indication.
- Hypothyroidism involves low function or production of thyroid hormone. Symptoms include weight gain, dry skin, fatigue, and even cold intolerance. Hair loss can also be demonstrated.
- Anemia
- Pregnancy and postpartum
- Tobacco and Alcohol use
Physiologic factors in our lives are both external and internal causing hair thinning and hair loss. These factors include:
- Nutrition/diet
- Stress
- Hormonal changes with pregnancy or menopause
Chemotherapy is a well-known cause of hair loss, however there are some less common considerations. Thyroid, anticonvulsants, birth-control, antihypertensives and anticoagulant medications are associated with hair loss. We recommend reviewing all medications with your treating physician.
Hair transplant surgeons are commonly board-certified in surgery (plastics, vascular, general) or dermatology. These physicians have the technical skills and experience for procedures and have taken special interest in hair restoration. Hair restoration specialists should ideally possess board certification in surgery or dermatology. In some cases, especially with acute hair loss, medical consultation with an internist or dermatologist should be obtained before considering restoration procedures.
