About 80 million men and women in the United States experience hair loss. Fortunately, with treatment, most causes of hair loss can be stopped or treated. Anyone troubled by hair loss can see Dr. Berry at his Ocean Parkway and Howard Beach offices in New York City.
The reasons for hair loss may be due to illness, diet, medicine, hereditary, or childbirth. Certain hair care styling and certain products can also cause noticeable hair loss. Dermatologists recommend limiting the use of hair dye, blow dryers, flat irons, and rubber bands or hair clips that pull the hair tightly back. A stressful event can also contribute to hair loss.
Too much or too little of a nutrient or vitamin may contribute to hair loss. If the body does not receive enough protein or iron, you can see hair loss. Conversely, too many vitamins absorbed through vitamin supplements or medicines, can cause hair loss. Eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia can cause hair loss as well. A well-balanced diet will help to keep the body functioning properly.

It is recommend that you begin treating hair loss as early as possible. One or more of the following treatments may be an option to treat your hair loss:
Other procedures may include hair transplants, scalp reduction, scalp expansion, or scalp flaps which is where a segment of scalp is surgically moved and placed where hair is needed. Because so many different variables can be the reason for your hair loss, it may take a few appointments to pinpoint the exact cause.
