Why Am I Losing My Hair? Understanding Hair Loss & Treatment Options

Hair loss can be deeply personal. 

Whether it's a widening part, a thinner ponytail, more hair left behind in your brush, or areas of visible scalp, changes in your hair can affect far more than your appearance. For many people, hair is closely tied to confidence, self-image, and identity.  

The good news? There is hope. 

At Dr. Andrea Hickey Medical Aesthetics, all hair restoration treatments begin with a thorough medical assessment.
