Expert Evaluation and Regenerative Treatment for Thinning Hair

At her Upper East Side practice, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marie Hayag provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment for hair loss and thinning hair. Hair loss can affect both men and women and may result from hormonal changes, genetics, stress, medical conditions, or inflammatory scalp disorders. At Marie Hayag, MD, treatment focuses on identifying the underlying cause and implementing evidence-based medical and regenerative therapies to restore scalp health and stimulate hair growth.

A Brief Overview of Hair Loss

Hair loss can present as:

  • Gradual thinning along the hairline or crown
  • Widening of the part
  • Increased shedding during washing or brushing
  • Patchy hair loss
  • Reduced hair density or volume

Hair loss may have multiple underlying causes, including hormonal, genetic, inflammatory, or nutritional factors, professional evaluation is essential to determine the diagnosis and most appropriate treatment strategy. And because early thinning can be subtle, professional assessment is critical for preserving long-term hair density.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss may develop due to:

  • Androgenetic alopecia (genetic pattern hair loss)
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Inflammatory scalp conditions

Some forms of hair loss are temporary and reversible, while others are progressive and require early medical intervention to preserve follicles. Early diagnosis allows for more effective intervention, particularly in cases of progressive thinning.

Am I a Good Candidate for Hair Loss Treatment?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Notice increased shedding or thinning
  • Have a family history of hair loss
  • Observe widening of your hair part
  • Experience reduced hair volume
  • Want non-surgical, physician-guided treatment options

Early evaluation improves the likelihood of preserving existing follicles and achieving optimal regrowth. A consultation with Dr. Hayag includes a thorough scalp examination and medical history review to determine the cause and recommend a customized treatment plan.

What to Expect During Treatment & Recovery

Hair loss treatment plans are individualized and may involve medical therapy, PRP sessions, or regenerative microneedling treatments.

  • PRP and microneedling are performed in-office
  • Minimal downtime is expected
  • Mild tenderness or scalp sensitivity may occur temporarily

Hair growth improvement develops gradually over several months as follicles respond to treatment. A series of sessions and maintenance therapy may be recommended for sustained results.

Cost of Hair Loss Treatment

The cost of hair loss treatment depends on:

  • The underlying diagnosis
  • The selected treatment approach
  • The number of sessions required
  • Whether combination therapy is recommended

During your consultation at Marie Hayag, MD, treatment plans are tailored, and pricing reflects the complexity of the diagnosis and level of regenerative therapy recommended.
