Our Approach to Hair Loss

Hair Loss? Hair Gain.

Hair is a powerful part of your identity. Thinning, shedding, or bald spots can be frustrating and deeply personal, and you're not alone. That's why we built an entire state-of-the-art facility at Johns Creek Dermatology and a sister practice, Springs Hair Restoration in Sandy Springs, focused on restoring your hair and your confidence, led by Dr. Zack Charkawi (certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery) and Dr. Shereen Timani, a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in hair loss and skin care.

Expert Care From a Hair Loss Dermatologist in Johns Creek

Our expert-led clinic serves men and women of all ages, races, and hair types in Johns Creek, helping patients find real, lasting medical solutions for hair loss.

No Gimmicks. Just Real Medical Solutions.

We don't believe in miracle oils or one-size-fits-all products. There's no magic cure, but there is medical science. At Johns Creek Dermatology, our hair loss specialists and board-certified dermatologists are trained in hair biology, scalp health, and alopecia diagnosis.

Personalized Care for All Hair Types and Textures

Hair loss shows up differently in every patient. Whether you're dealing with a receding hairline, diffuse thinning, or patchy bald spots, our Johns Creek dermatologist for hair loss will guide you with compassion and expertise.

Understanding Alopecia and Its Causes

Alopecia is a medical term for excessive hair loss, and it can occur on the scalp, face, or body. The causes are often complex and include factors like genetics, autoimmune conditions, stress, hormonal shifts, and environmental triggers.

We provide diagnosis and treatment for various types of alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, alopecia areata, and other scarring and non-scarring conditions.

Our Diagnostic Approach: Finding the Root Cause

Effective treatment starts with proper diagnosis. During your consultation, we take a thorough personal and family history and perform a careful scalp examination, just as you'd expect from a trusted dermatologist for hair loss in Johns Creek.

Expert Diagnosis from Dermatopathology

When the cause of hair loss isn't obvious, a scalp biopsy may be recommended. This procedure remains the gold standard for diagnosing certain types of alopecia. Your tissue sample is evaluated by our in-house dermatopathology team, ensuring you get a precise and expert diagnosis.

Hair Loss Treatment Options

Once we understand the cause, we create a custom treatment plan that fits your needs, hair goals, and lifestyle. Our treatment options include, but are not limited to:

• Topical treatments such as prescription-strength minoxidil or compounded solutions to stimulate regrowth and reduce shedding

• Oral medications including finasteride, spironolactone, or supplements to address hormonal or nutritional causes of hair loss

• Regenera Activa treatment

• Plasma growth factors therapy

• HydraFacial™ Keravive for scalp health and follicle stimulation

• Steroid injections (ILK) for inflammatory scalp conditions

• Hair transplant surgery performed at our specialized hair restoration practice in Sandy Springs
