Medical Hair Treatments
Medical hair treatments encompass a variety of interventions aimed at addressing hair loss and scalp conditions through medical means. These treatments are administered by dermatologists and medical professionals to promote hair growth, improve hair health, and manage underlying scalp conditions. Some common medical hair treatments include:
Topical Medications for Hair Treatment at Alma Dermatology Center
At Alma Dermatology Center, we offer a range of topical medications as part of our comprehensive approach to hair restoration and treatment. These topical treatments are designed to address various types of hair loss and promote hair growth, helping our clients achieve thicker, fuller hair and improved scalp health.
Types of Topical Medications:
Minoxidil (Rogaine): Minoxidil is a topical solution that is FDA-approved for the treatment of male and female pattern hair loss. It works by stimulating hair follicles, prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle, and increasing blood flow to the scalp. Minoxidil is available over-the-counter in various strengths and formulations, including foam and liquid.
Topical Finasteride: Finasteride is a medication that is taken orally to treat hair loss, but it can also be formulated into a topical solution for topical application to the scalp. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. Topical finasteride may be used as an alternative for individuals who experience side effects from oral finasteride.
Corticosteroids: Topical corticosteroids may be prescribed to treat certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata or inflammatory scalp conditions. These medications work by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response that may be contributing to hair loss. Corticosteroids are available in various strengths and formulations, including creams, ointments, and solutions.
Benefits of Topical Medications:
Convenience: Topical medications offer a convenient and non-invasive treatment option for individuals experiencing hair loss. They can be easily applied directly to the scalp at home, without the need for invasive procedures or frequent clinic visits.
Effectiveness: When used as directed, topical medications can be effective in slowing down hair loss, promoting hair regrowth, and improving scalp health. They are often recommended as part of a comprehensive hair restoration regimen that may also include other treatments such as oral medications or in-office procedures.
Minimal Side Effects: Topical medications generally have fewer systemic side effects compared to oral medications, making them a safe and well-tolerated option for many individuals. However, it’s important to follow the instructions provided by your dermatologist and report any adverse reactions.
Consultation and Customized Treatment Plans:
At Alma Dermatology Center, our experienced dermatologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss and scalp conditions. During a consultation, we will evaluate your scalp health, assess the underlying causes of your hair loss, and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.
If you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our dermatologists at Alma Dermatology Center. Together, we’ll explore the available treatment options, including topical medications, to help you achieve healthier, fuller hair and renewed confidence.
Oral Medications in Hair Treatment at Alma Dermatology Center
At Alma Dermatology Center, we understand the significant impact that hair loss can have on an individual’s confidence and well-being. That’s why we offer comprehensive hair restoration treatments, including oral medications, to address various forms of hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
How Oral Medications Work: Oral medications for hair loss are designed to target the underlying causes of hair thinning and promote healthy hair growth. These medications may work by blocking the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to male and female pattern baldness, or by promoting hair follicle stimulation and prolonging the hair growth cycle.
Common Oral Medications for Hair Loss:
Finasteride (Propecia): Finasteride is an FDA-approved oral medication for the treatment of male pattern baldness. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth in men.
Dutasteride: Dutasteride is another oral medication that works similarly to finasteride by blocking the production of DHT. While not FDA-approved specifically for hair loss, dutasteride may be prescribed off-label for individuals who do not respond to or cannot tolerate finasteride.
Treatment Process at Alma Dermatology Center: Before prescribing oral medications for hair loss, our experienced dermatologists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of hair thinning and assess the suitability of oral medications based on the individual’s medical history and treatment goals.
If oral medications are deemed appropriate, our dermatologists will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs. Treatment may involve regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the dosage or treatment regimen as needed.
Benefits of Oral Medications for Hair Loss:
- Convenient: Oral medications offer a convenient and non-invasive treatment option for individuals experiencing hair loss.
- Effective: When used as directed, oral medications can effectively slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth in many individuals.
- Well-Tolerated: Oral medications for hair loss are generally well-tolerated, with few side effects reported by most patients.
Schedule a Consultation: If you’re experiencing hair loss and are interested in exploring oral medications as a treatment option, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with the experts at Alma Dermatology Center. Our experienced dermatologists will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and helps you achieve your hair restoration goals.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Hair Restoration at Alma Dermatology Center
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an innovative and non-invasive treatment offered at Alma Dermatology Center for individuals seeking to restore hair growth and improve hair density. This cutting-edge procedure harnesses the healing properties of platelets found in the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles and promote natural hair regrowth.
How PRP Therapy Works
During a PRP therapy session at Alma Dermatology Center, a small sample of the patient’s blood is drawn and processed in a specialized centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma, which contains growth factors and other bioactive proteins, is then injected into the scalp at targeted areas experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Benefits of PRP Therapy for Hair Restoration
PRP Therapy offers several benefits for individuals seeking to address hair loss or hair thinning, including:
Stimulated Hair Growth: The growth factors present in platelet-rich plasma stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting the growth of new, thicker, and healthier hair.
Improved Hair Density: PRP Therapy can help increase hair density and coverage in areas where hair has become thin or sparse, resulting in a fuller and more youthful-looking appearance.
Non-Invasive Procedure: PRP Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that utilizes the patient’s own blood, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or complications.
Natural Results: Since PRP Therapy utilizes the body’s own healing mechanisms, the results are natural-looking and gradual, with continued improvement over time.
Quick and Convenient: PRP Therapy sessions at Alma Dermatology Center are typically quick and convenient, with minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities shortly after treatment.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Hair Treatment at Alma Dermatology Center
At Alma Dermatology Center, we understand the impact that hair loss can have on your confidence and self-esteem. That’s why we offer Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) as a safe, non-invasive treatment option for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss.
How Does LLLT Work?
LLLT, also known as red light therapy or cold laser therapy, utilizes low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. The photons emitted by the lasers are absorbed by the scalp, where they help increase blood flow and stimulate cellular activity in the hair follicles. This, in turn, encourages the follicles to transition from the dormant phase (telogen) to the active growth phase (anagen), resulting in thicker, fuller hair over time.
Benefits of LLLT:
Non-Invasive: LLLT is a non-invasive treatment option that does not require any incisions or downtime. It is painless and does not cause any discomfort during or after treatment.
Safe: LLLT is considered safe for most individuals and has minimal side effects. It does not involve the use of drugs or chemicals, making it suitable for long-term use.
Effective: Clinical studies have shown that LLLT can be effective in promoting hair growth and improving hair density in individuals with various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and alopecia areata.
What to Expect:
During a LLLT session at Alma Dermatology Center, you will sit comfortably while a specialized device is applied to the scalp. The device emits low-level laser or LED light, which is directed at the scalp for a specified duration. Treatment sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes and are painless and relaxing.
Results:
While individual results may vary, many patients begin to notice improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health after several weeks or months of regular LLLT treatments. To achieve optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, followed by maintenance sessions as needed to sustain hair growth and prevent further loss.
Schedule a Consultation:
If you’re experiencing hair thinning or loss and are interested in exploring LLLT as a treatment option, we invite you to schedule a consultation with the experts at Alma Dermatology Center. Our experienced dermatologists will evaluate your hair and scalp condition, discuss your treatment goals, and recommend a personalized LLLT plan tailored to your needs.

Prescription Shampoos and Scalp Treatments
At Alma Dermatology Center, we understand that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. That’s why we offer a range of prescription shampoos and scalp treatments designed to address various scalp conditions and promote optimal hair health.
Conditions Treated:
Our prescription shampoos and scalp treatments are tailored to address a variety of scalp conditions, including:
Dandruff: Dandruff, characterized by flaky, itchy scalp, can be effectively treated with medicated shampoos containing ingredients such as ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or coal tar.
Seborrheic Dermatitis: This common scalp condition causes redness, itching, and greasy, yellowish scales. Prescription shampoos containing antifungal agents like ketoconazole or corticosteroids can help manage symptoms.
Psoriasis: Psoriasis can affect the scalp, leading to thick, red patches covered with silvery scales. Prescription shampoos containing salicylic acid, coal tar, or corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation and scale buildup.
Scalp Acne: Scalp acne, or folliculitis, can cause painful, red bumps on the scalp. Prescription shampoos containing antibacterial or antifungal agents can help control bacterial or fungal infections contributing to scalp acne.
Treatment Options:
Depending on the underlying scalp condition, our dermatologists may recommend one or more of the following treatment options:
Medicated Shampoos: Prescription-strength shampoos containing active ingredients such as ketoconazole, salicylic acid, or coal tar can help control scalp conditions and promote a healthy scalp environment.
Scalp Treatments: In addition to medicated shampoos, our dermatologists may prescribe topical scalp treatments, such as corticosteroid solutions or foams, to reduce inflammation and irritation.
Lifestyle Modifications: Alongside prescription shampoos and scalp treatments, our dermatologists may recommend lifestyle modifications to support scalp health, such as avoiding harsh hair products, minimizing heat styling, and practicing good scalp hygiene.

Nutritional Supplements in Hair Treatment
At Alma Dermatology Center, we understand the importance of addressing hair loss and promoting healthy hair growth from all angles. In addition to advanced treatments such as PRP therapy and laser hair restoration, we also recognize the significant role that nutrition plays in maintaining strong, vibrant hair.
The Role of Nutrition in Hair Health
Hair health is closely linked to overall nutritional status, as certain vitamins, minerals, and nutrients are essential for the growth and maintenance of strong, healthy hair follicles. A balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins (such as Biotin, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E), minerals (such as Iron and Zinc), and omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for supporting optimal hair growth and preventing hair loss.
Supplements for Hair Health
For individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss, nutritional supplements can be a valuable addition to their treatment regimen. Alma Dermatology Center offers a range of high-quality nutritional supplements specifically formulated to support hair health and promote hair growth. These supplements are carefully selected based on scientific evidence and clinical research, ensuring maximum efficacy and safety.
Benefits of Nutritional Supplements
- Promote Hair Growth: Nutritional supplements provide essential vitamins and minerals that nourish the hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth and reducing hair shedding.
- Strengthen Hair: By supplying the hair follicles with key nutrients, supplements help strengthen the hair shaft and improve overall hair texture and resilience.
- Support Scalp Health: Many nutritional supplements also contain ingredients that support scalp health, such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, helping to create an optimal environment for hair growth.
Personalized Recommendations
At Alma Dermatology Center, our team of experts will conduct a thorough evaluation of your hair and scalp health to determine the most appropriate nutritional supplements for your needs. We take a personalized approach to hair treatment, tailoring recommendations to address your specific concerns and goals.

Hair Transplantation at Alma Dermatology Center
Alma Dermatology Center is proud to offer advanced hair transplantation services to address hair loss and promote natural hair regrowth. Our team of skilled dermatologists and hair restoration specialists utilizes state-of-the-art techniques and technologies to deliver exceptional results tailored to each individual’s needs.
Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss can be a distressing experience, impacting self-confidence and overall well-being. Whether due to genetics, hormonal changes, aging, or other factors, hair loss affects millions of men and women worldwide. At Alma Dermatology Center, we understand the emotional toll of hair loss and are committed to providing effective solutions to help our clients regain their confidence and achieve thicker, fuller hair.
The Hair Transplantation Process
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanting them into balding or thinning areas of the scalp. At Alma Dermatology Center, we offer two primary techniques for hair transplantation:
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Also known as strip harvesting, FUT involves removing a strip of skin containing hair follicles from the donor area and dissecting it into individual grafts for transplantation. This technique is ideal for clients who require a large number of grafts.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor area using a small, specialized instrument. The follicles are then transplanted into recipient sites on the scalp. FUE is a minimally invasive technique that leaves minimal scarring and offers quicker recovery times compared to FUT.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At Alma Dermatology Center, we understand that every client’s hair loss pattern and aesthetic goals are unique. That’s why we take a personalized approach to hair transplantation, carefully assessing each client’s hair loss condition and designing a customized treatment plan to achieve natural-looking results.
Why Choose Alma Dermatology Center for Hair Transplantation?
