Alopecia
Hello Dr.
Cheng: Recently, my friends have noticed that my hair is thinning...
but I don't really feel it.
They are urging me to get it checked, but I'm not sure where to go for a thorough examination.
Could you recommend a clinic that provides detailed assessments, preferably near Taipei or Sanchong? Thank you!

When it comes to diagnosing hair loss, particularly in areas like Taipei and Sanchong, it is essential to seek out clinics that specialize in dermatology and have the necessary tools and expertise to provide a thorough evaluation. Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and underlying medical conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive assessment is crucial to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
In Taipei, there are several reputable dermatology clinics and hospitals where you can receive a detailed examination for hair loss. Some of the notable clinics include:
1. Taipei Medical University Hospital: This hospital has a dedicated dermatology department that offers advanced diagnostic tools, including trichoscopy, which allows for a detailed examination of the hair and scalp. They can help identify conditions such as androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), alopecia areata, and other scalp disorders.
2. National Taiwan University Hospital: Known for its comprehensive healthcare services, this hospital has experienced dermatologists who can provide in-depth assessments and treatment options for hair loss. They may also offer blood tests to check for deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that could contribute to hair thinning.
3. Cheng Hsin General Hospital: This facility has a dermatology department that is well-equipped to handle various skin and hair issues. They can perform scalp examinations and recommend appropriate treatments based on the diagnosis.
In Sanchong, you may consider visiting:
1. Lu Heng Ming Dermatology Clinic: This clinic is known for its personalized approach to dermatological issues, including hair loss. They may offer consultations and treatments tailored to your specific needs.
2. Sheng Ren Dermatology Clinic: Located in Sanchong, this clinic provides a range of dermatological services and can assist with hair loss assessments.
3. Jiang Xing Rong Dermatology Clinic: Another option in Sanchong, this clinic focuses on skin and hair health, providing consultations and potential treatments for hair loss.
When you visit these clinics, it is advisable to prepare a list of any symptoms you have experienced, your family history of hair loss, and any dietary changes or stressors that may have contributed to your condition. This information will help the dermatologist make a more accurate diagnosis.
In addition to clinical evaluations, some clinics may offer advanced diagnostic tools such as scalp biopsies or blood tests to assess for conditions like thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, or autoimmune disorders that could be causing hair loss.
Treatment options for hair loss can vary widely depending on the underlying cause. Common treatments include:
- Topical Minoxidil: This over-the-counter medication is often used to stimulate hair growth and is effective for both men and women.
- Finasteride: A prescription medication for men that can help slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: This involves drawing your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into the scalp to promote hair growth.
- Hair Transplant Surgery: For more severe cases of hair loss, surgical options may be considered.
In conclusion, if you are experiencing hair loss, it is essential to consult with a qualified dermatologist who can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate treatment options. Clinics in Taipei and Sanchong offer various services that can help you address your concerns effectively. Remember, early intervention can often lead to better outcomes, so seeking help sooner rather than later is advisable.
