common hair loss evaluation questions

FAQ
what does a hair loss evaluation involve?

A Hair Loss Evaluation is a professional assessment by one of our expert dermatology providers to diagnose the type and severity of hair loss. It involves examining your skin, discussing your medical history, lifestyle, and any current skincare routines. 

how often should i have a hair loss evaluation?

The frequency of evaluations depends on the severity of your hair loss and how well it responds to treatment. Your dermatologist will suggest a follow-up schedule. Most follow-ups fall within every 3 to 6 months.  

what should i expect during my first hair loss evaluation?

Expect a thorough examination of your hair loss prone skin, a discussion about your medical history, and questions about your lifestyle and skincare habits. The provider will also talk about potential treatment options. 

why do you recommend sending some of my hair loss prescriptions to a “specialty pharmacy”?

After years of experience practicing in the specialty of Dermatology, we’ve learned to rely on specialty pharmacies to help our patients get the medications they truly need. 

 Specialty pharmacies have a broader selection of dermatological medications, including specialized or newly developed treatments not typically available at standard pharmacies. Additionally, they are equipped to provide custom compounding, tailoring medication strengths and combining ingredients specifically for your treatment needs. These pharmacies are also adept at handling insurance complexities and often provide cost assistance for more expensive medications. Furthermore, they offer enhanced patient support services like medication management assistance, refill reminders, and educational resources about hair loss and its treatments, ensuring a more comprehensive care approach. 

We do NOT receive any “kickbacks” from specialty pharmacies.  

how should i prepare for my hair loss evaluation?

Attend your evaluation with a clean scalp and hair, free of any styling products, to allow for a thorough assessment. If possible, bring photos documenting the progression of your hair loss. Additionally, be prepared to discuss your current hair care routine, including any products you’re using, as this information can aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.

how long does a hair loss evaluation take?

The length of the evaluation varies but typically takes about 10-15 minutes. This allows enough time for a detailed examination and consultation. 

will i receive treatment on the same day as my evaluation?

Depending on your specific case, your provider may prescribe or inject medication and/or recommend over-the-counter products during the initial visit.

will a hair loss evaluation be covered by my insurance?

Coverage varies among insurance providers. It’s important to check with your insurance company to understand the coverage specifics and any out-of-pocket costs. That being said, many insurance plans do cover Hair Loss Evaluations.  

can i receive a hair loss evaluation over telemedicine?

Yes, a Hair Loss Evaluation can be conducted over telemedicine. Prior to your appointment, upload clear photos as directed. During the session, we’ll visually assess your scalp via video, review your medical history, and discuss lifestyle factors and hair care routines. However, please note that severe or complex cases may require an in-person visit for a more detailed examination or specific treatments.
