To determine whether a patient has female pattern hair loss, Dr. Goldman parts the patient's hair down the middle and measures - more than 1/4" means she is a candidate for hair loss treatment.

Dr. Goldman says, "The main culprit of hair loss is DHT, a breakdown product of testosterone. It is this singular compound that is most significant in causing hair loss." Treatment includes oral medication such as Finastrede, topical solutions and local scalp injections.

A patient of Dr. Goldman says, "I am very pleased with the results so far. I have seen no additional loss of hair and I have experienced re-growth in some areas!"

Other hair restoration treatments include hair transplants such as NeoGraft.
