Women Welcome – Exceptional Expertise in Treating Female Hair Loss

Dr. Sara Wasserbauer and Physician Assistant, Salam Hasan

Dr. Wasserbauer has written book chapters on Women’s Hair loss and is considered an international expert on the subject.

Women’s hair loss is more common than people think, with nearly 20 million women in the U.S. experiencing it and almost 80% of women at the age of 60 having some form.  Hair loss is also more emotionally impactful in a woman than it is for a man and significantly more psychologically distressing than most doctors give it credit for.  Women’s hair loss can also include eyebrow hair loss, high hairlines, scar correction from facelifts, or other facial plastic surgery.

Dr. Sara Wasserbauer and her Physician Assistant, Salam Hasan, have both experienced hair loss; they recognize the need for a comprehensive approach for female patients.  Our partnership was created to address the unique needs of the female hair loss population.  Patients receive a thorough evaluation, including a review of all their previous physicians’ workups, a physical examination with a diagnostic biopsy if necessary, and a dermoscopic examination.  Very often, the cause is not a single diagnosis, but rather multiple factors combined to create hair loss.  Once these causes are identified, we can develop a comprehensive and tailored treatment plan for each patient, including medications, nutritional supplements, medicated shampoos, topical therapies, nutritional support, and even unique camouflage options.
