Identifying the Root Cause of Your Hair Loss
Hair loss is not a single condition. It can result from genetics, hormonal changes, stress, autoimmune disorders, or underlying scalp conditions. During your consultation, Dr. Paul J. McAndrews performs a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your hair loss and develop a personalized treatment plan. Below are some of the most common conditions he diagnoses and treats.
Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
The most common cause of hair loss in men, androgenetic alopecia, typically causes a receding hairline and thinning at the crown. Early diagnosis can help slow progression and preserve existing hair.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Women often experience diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than distinct bald patches. Dr. McAndrews identifies the underlying cause and develops a personalized treatment plan based on your stage of hair loss and long-term goals.
Telogen Effluvium
Stress, illness, surgery, medications, or hormonal changes can trigger excessive hair shedding. Dr. McAndrews determines whether your hair loss is temporary and recommends strategies to promote healthy regrowth.
Alopecia Areata
This autoimmune condition causes sudden, patchy hair loss that can affect the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or other areas. An accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Scalp Conditions
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Dr. McAndrews evaluates conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, inflammation, and scarring alopecias that may contribute to hair loss or interfere with successful treatment.
If your condition is not listed above, a consultation is still worthwhile. Dr. McAndrews diagnoses and manages a wide range of hair and scalp disorders, ensuring every patient receives an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.

Hair Loss Extent
Every stage of hair loss requires a different approach. During your consultation, Dr. McAndrews assesses the extent of your hair loss and develops a personalized plan that may include medical, surgical, or non-surgical treatment options.
Ethnicity
Dr. McAndrews provides hair loss evaluations for patients of all ethnic backgrounds, including Hispanic and Latino, African American, Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Caucasian, and multiracial individuals. He considers differences in hair characteristics, scalp anatomy, and patterns of hair loss to provide an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment recommendations.
Hair Texture
Hair texture plays an important role in diagnosing hair loss and selecting the right treatment. Dr. McAndrews evaluates curly, coily, wavy, and straight hair, taking each patient’s unique hair characteristics into account when developing a personalized treatment plan and setting realistic expectations.
Hair Color
Hair color can influence how hair loss appears and how treatment outcomes are evaluated. Dr. McAndrews treats patients with black, brown, blonde, red, gray, and salt and pepper hair, tailoring his recommendations to each individual’s hair characteristics and aesthetic goals.
Genders
Dr. McAndrews provides personalized hair loss consultations for patients of all genders, including men, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Every evaluation is tailored to the patient’s unique pattern of hair loss, goals, and medical history to develop the most appropriate treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I meet with Dr. McAndrews or a coordinator?
You will meet directly and exclusively with Dr. McAndrews. Our clinic does not employ sales coordinators or medical consultants to run evaluations. Your medical assessment is entirely physician-led.
How long does the first consultation take?
Your initial, private consultation is a thorough, unhurried process that typically lasts one full hour. Because Dr. McAndrews personally conducts the entire evaluation and builds your customized treatment plan from scratch, we dedicate a full 60-minute window exclusively to you.
Does a consultation mean I have to get surgery?
Absolutely not. Dr. McAndrews is a double board-certified dermatologist first and foremost. A significant portion of our patients successfully manage and stabilize their hair loss using non-surgical, evidence-based medical interventions alone.
Will I receive a prescription on the same day?
Yes, if it is medically appropriate. If Dr. McAndrews’ detailed hair and scalp analysis indicates that your hair loss is best managed or stabilized using non-surgical medical interventions (such as targeted therapies like Finasteride or Minoxidil), he will write and provide that prescription during your appointment.
How can I trust before and after photos?
I do show pictures to patients, but there is something you need to know about the photos:
For most of our patients, a hair transplant is a very private and personal matter; they do not want their pictures shown to other people. We put an extreme value on the confidentiality of our patients.
Pictures have been used by some doctors in the past to deceive the patient. Different camera angles or lighting can make a person’s hair look like a “before and after” on the very same day. This is very misleading and gives the patients unrealistic expectations. We pride ourselves on matching expectations with reality.
Pictures generally give patients an appearance of having more hair.
If a potential patient wants to see our work, we have several patients who do not mind talking or meeting with them. When a candidate for hair transplants sees one of our patients in person, there is no way to deceive them; they see the results firsthand.
