In our culture, hair plays a significant role in self-image. Seeing thinning areas or a receding hairline in the mirror can be discouraging for anyone. If you’re experiencing hair loss, seeking professional treatment early is key. Associates in Dermatology has helped many individuals in Westlake, Middleburg Heights, and Lorain, Ohio, regain confidence with proven medical hair growth solutions.
What are some common medical hair loss treatments and restoration solutions recommended for hair thinning and loss?
At Associates in Dermatology, we understand there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for hair loss. That’s why we take the time to assess the genetic, health, and lifestyle factors affecting your hair. Based on this, we create a personalized hair restoration plan, which may include:
- Oral contraceptives or spironolactone: Often prescribed for hormone-related hair loss in women.
- Minoxidil: A topical treatment applied to the scalp, safe and effective for addressing hair loss in both women and men.
- Finasteride or dutasteride: Prescription oral treatments specifically for male hair loss.
- Guidance on hygiene, hair care products, and styling techniques to protect existing hair and encourage growth.

What about PRP hair loss treatment as an option for thickening and restoring hair with a professional near me?
Platelets are small blood components that play a key role in clotting and healing. They release growth factors that promote tissue repair. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated dose of these growth factors derived from a small blood sample taken at Associates in Dermatology. The sample is processed using a centrifuge to separate the blood’s components, isolating the platelets. The PRP is then injected into thinning areas of the scalp to encourage hair growth.
PRP treatment boosts blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging natural hair growth. Because the treatment uses your own body’s resources, there’s no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. Each plan is tailored to your needs, but most people start with three PRP sessions spaced a month apart. To maintain hair density and quality, follow-up treatments two to three times a year are typically recommended.

Which treatment is right for me?
When you first undergo an assessment with our team of professionals at Associates in Dermatology, we will determine the cause of your hair thinning and loss. Based on this information, we will create a personalized plan that includes treatments that will work to counteract these issues. In some instances, knowing the cause allows our patients to make lifestyle changes that can also restore hair.
