In-person and remote consultations.
RECOGNIZING THE SITUATION
Is this your hair-loss situation?
Hair loss does not always look or behave the same way. You may be noticing gradual thinning, a changing hairline, a localized patch, scalp symptoms, or a pattern that has not been clearly explained.
Thinning that has gradually progressed
One temple changing more than the other
Thinning along the frontal margin
Thinning at the crown or vertex
A sudden round patch of hair loss
Thinning that begins around the crown
A receding or changing temple hairline

WHAT FHI ADDS
A more complete picture of your hair loss
History · Distribution · Timeline · Scalp findings · Change over time
FHI brings the history, distribution, timeline, scalp findings, photographs, available laboratory or biopsy information, prior diagnoses, treatments, and changes over time into one organized assessment.
The case is then interpreted through a hair-biology and measurement lens: what is directly observed, what the findings suggest about activity and trajectory, what remains uncertain, and what should be followed.
What brings people to FHI
People come to FHI at different points. Some are noticing their first changes. Some already have a diagnosis. Some are using treatment and need a clearer reading of response. Others need a structured baseline, a second review, long-term monitoring, or independent assessment around a procedure.
Where patients enter the FHI process
Start wherever you are in the hair-loss journey. Each entry point leads into the same structured intake, assessment, reporting, and follow-up process.
Before diagnosis
You want a thorough assessment before deciding what to do next.
After diagnosis
You have a diagnosis, but still have questions or need a deeper look.
During treatment
You are using treatment and need a clearer reading of response.
When progress is unclear
Things have changed again. You are unsure whether you are improving, stabilizing, or getting worse.
For long-term monitoring
You want ongoing tracking to compare change and maintain a reliable record over time.
Before or after a procedure
You are planning or recovering from a transplant, procedure, or medical event that may affect the hair.
