Hair Loss Help That Actually Works

Serving Rockville, North Bethesda, and beyond.

Thinning at the crown? Hair in the drain? Bald spots that came out of nowhere? You’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.

At Shore Dermatology, we treat hair loss like what it really is: medical. Not cosmetic. And not something you just “live with.”

We start with real answers. And we don’t stop until we’ve built a plan that works for your hair, your health, and your goals.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Spoiler: It’s not just age or bad shampoo.

We treat all major types of hair loss, including:

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)

Also called male or female pattern hair loss. It’s genetic, progressive, and the most common cause of slow, sneaky thinning.

Alopecia Areata

Autoimmune-driven. Bald patches that pop up fast—and sometimes come back just as quickly.

Telogen Effluvium

Shedding caused by stress, surgery, illness, hormones, or even a rough postpartum phase. Usually temporary. Still stressful.

Traction Alopecia

From tight ponytails, braids, extensions—or anything pulling too hard on those follicles for too long.

What We Offer at Shore Dermatology in Rockville

We’ve combined proven dermatology tools with the latest science to offer real regrowth strategies. Here’s what’s on the table:

Prescription Topicals & Medications

  • Minoxidil (the OG Rogaine—but smarter and stronger when customized)

  • Finasteride / Propecia for men

  • Spironolactone for hormonally-driven hair loss in women

  • Oral minoxidil – low-dose pills that pack a punch

We prescribe what’s right for you, not what’s trending.

Strategic Supplements

  • Nutrafol: For stress, hormones, and nutrition-based shedding

  • Viviscal: Another derm favorite

  • Biotin, Zinc, Vitamin D: But only if you're deficient (we test first)

More isn’t always better. Smarter is.

Healite II Red Light Therapy

NASA-level LED therapy that boosts blood flow and wakes up tired hair follicles.
Bonus: Also great for skin health and post-procedure healing.

10–20 minutes twice a week. No pain. No downtime. Real results in 12 weeks.

Root Cause Bloodwork

Hair loss is often a symptom. We’ll check for thyroid issues, vitamin deficiencies, anemia, and more. Because fixing the inside helps the outside grow stronger.

When to See a Dermatologist About Hair Loss

If you’ve noticed…

✔ More shedding than usual (especially >3 months)
✔ Widening part lines
✔ Visible bald patches
✔ Scalp itching, burning, or flaking
✔ Or you’re just feeling frustrated, embarrassed, or fed up…

It’s time. The sooner you act, the more hair we can help save.
