hair loss evaluation

Hair thinning and shedding usually have an underlying cause, and identifying that cause is the first step toward treatment that works. At Revelus Dermatology in Austin, our hair loss evaluations are led by board-certified dermatologists. Each visit includes a detailed scalp examination using dermoscopy (a magnified imaging tool that reveals follicle health), a thorough review of your medical history, and a personalized treatment plan based on what your scalp is showing. Most insurance plans cover this visit.

the revelus difference

  • trusted

  • inclusive

  • compassionate

  • comprehensive

Revelus Dermatology is a woman-owned practice serving Austin since 2014, led by board-certified dermatologists Dr. Blakely Richardson and Dr. Sital Patel. Our care has earned a 4.8 star rating across more than 2,300 Google reviews.

Every skin, every concern, every individual. We provide dermatologic care across the full range of skin types and conditions, and Spanish-speaking team members are available to help support patients during visits.

Beyond clinical care, we prioritize the human connection. We listen, explain your options clearly, and stay with you through diagnosis and treatment. Same-week appointments are often available when you need to be seen sooner.

Our care is grounded in dermatologic science, not trends. We provide medical and surgical dermatology in one South Austin location, including skin cancer screening through Mohs surgery, so most patients do not need a referral to an outside specialist.

benefits of hair loss evaluations

benefits of hair loss evaluations

A focused evaluation gives you a clear answer instead of a guessing game. Hair loss can come from genetics, hormonal shifts, stress, autoimmune conditions, nutritional gaps, certain medications, or scalp inflammation. Each cause has different treatment options, and matching the right approach to the right diagnosis is what makes treatment effective.

considerations include:

  • Hair loss causes are often layered, with more than one factor contributing
  • Dermoscopy allows your dermatologist to see follicle patterns the naked eye can miss
  • Most patients leave with a clear diagnosis and a starting treatment plan
  • Treatment options range from topical and oral medications to PRP hair restoration, biologic therapy for alopecia areata, and ongoing scalp care

what to expect*

White circular checkmark icon on transparent background
flexible scheduling

Book your hair loss evaluation online or by phone. We confirm appointments quickly and offer options that fit around work and family.

personalized consultation

Your dermatologist reviews your hair loss history, medications and supplements, family history, and any recent labs from your primary care provider. Plan to discuss when changes started, how they have progressed, and what has helped or hurt.

dermoscopy scalp exam

A handheld dermatoscope magnifies the scalp so your dermatologist can identify follicle patterns specific to androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and other causes. This is the diagnostic difference between a dermatology evaluation and a general consultation.

treatment plan and support

Based on your exam findings, your dermatologist recommends a treatment plan. Options may include topical minoxidil, oral medications, PRP hair restoration, biologic therapy for alopecia areata, or ongoing scalp care. We schedule follow-up visits to track progress and adjust.

common hair loss evaluation questions

FAQ
how much does a hair loss evaluation cost?

Most insurance plans cover the evaluation as a medical office visit. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan and deductible. Self-pay pricing is available, and our front desk can confirm what to expect before your appointment.

is a hair loss evaluation covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. Hair loss is a medical concern, and dermatology evaluations are typically covered like other office visits. Coverage varies by carrier and plan. We recommend confirming benefits with your insurance before your appointment.

how long does the appointment take?

Most evaluations take 25 to 75 minutes. The exact length depends on how much history we need to review and whether your dermatologist orders additional testing.

what should i bring to my hair loss evaluation?

It helps to bring a list of your current medications and supplements, a rough timeline of when you first noticed changes, any family history of hair loss, and recent bloodwork if you have it from your primary care provider. We also ask that patients arrive with clean hair and no styling products on the day of the appointment, so the scalp is fully visible during the exam.

what happens during a hair loss evaluation?

Your dermatologist reviews your medical history, examines your scalp using dermoscopy, and identifies the likely cause of your hair loss. Most patients leave the appointment with a diagnosis and a starting treatment plan.

will i get a treatment plan the same day?

In most cases, yes. If your dermatologist needs additional information, such as bloodwork or further testing, the plan may be finalized at a follow-up visit.

what hair loss treatments do you offer?

Treatment depends on the diagnosis. Common options include topical minoxidil, oral medications, PRP hair restoration, biologic therapy for alopecia areata, and ongoing scalp care. Your dermatologist will recommend what fits your specific cause and goals.

how is a hair loss evaluation different from a free hair consultation?

A free consultation at a hair restoration clinic is generally a sales appointment for a single service. A hair loss evaluation at Revelus is a medical visit with a board-certified dermatologist that identifies the underlying cause and matches it to the right treatment, whether that is a prescription, PRP, a referral, or a combination.
