Expert Evaluation and Regenerative Treatment for Thinning Hair

At her Upper East Side practice in New York City, 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.
