Dandruff affects about 50 percent of the population. An itchy scalp can be caused by a number of conditions, including dry skin, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.
Depending on the underlying cause of the dandruff, we provide you with the correct diagnosis, medication, and education to modify your lifestyle and diet and avoid future issues.
We use our advanced technology hair and scalp analyzer to take microscopic images of your scalp and hair shafts and provide you with an individualized plan that is tailored to your specific hair and scalp needs.
Madarosis, or loss of eyelashes and eyebrows, are more common than you realize. We evaluate your eyelashes at a microscopic level and if indicated, we will get you started on Latisse, which is the only FDA-approved treatment for eyelashes. You can always have better lashes!
After a comprehensive review of your hair status and goals of treatment we offer the best option from various treatments available at Woodinville Family Medicine & Dermatology. We start by initial appointment to study your hair and scalp using an advanced technology hair and scalp analyzer. We design the treatment based on your scalp and blood test results. We also provide you extensive information about our process, so you are aware of the treatments, progress, and how to yield even better results with optimal home care instructions.
Oral Medications
The oral medications used to treat hair loss are a combination of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, spironolactone, minoxidil, and other medications which help to restore hair and promote growth. Some of these medications are used off label and mainly focus on suppressing androgens to treat androgenic hair loss. It is very important to discuss your health and life plans before getting started on these medications since some are not supposed to be taken during pregnancy or serve specific groups and ages better than others.
Topical Medications
Topical medications are intended to be applied to the scalp, not hair. They help delivering active ingredients to the cells beneath the scalp.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled injuries in the scalp to optimize delivery of growth factors to the hair follicles. Local anesthetics are usually applied. Multiple treatments (4-8) are required for ideal results. Schedule your consultation to discuss your specific care plan.
Compounded Products
Compounded products are the stronger version of the over-the-counter gels, foams, and creams. Usually the over-the-counter products contain harmful ingredients which elongate the shelf life of the product. We partner with the best compounding pharmacies in the country to provide high quality products which ONLY contain active ingredients with no preservatives. We usually require our patients to refrigerate these products in between applications and adhere to the plan strictly since the products will expire in a short time.
Combination Treatments
Research confirms that combo treatments are more effective and long lasting when it comes to hair restoration.
We offer individualized combination treatments to best serve your goals and help you regain your desired look.
Hair / Wellness injections
We provide monthly / weekly injections depending on your goals of treatment to better help your hair to grow and halt the shedding. You will not need an appointment for injections, just stop by and get your free 10-minute consultation along with your injections during office hours.
Diet Consultation
It should not be a surprise that your diet can help immensely in your hair restoration journey. We provide you with recommendations to nourish your hair from inside.

Nail Fungus Laser Treatment – $90/session
Laser therapy for nail fungus is a treatment method that uses a focused laser beam to penetrate the nail and destroy the fungus responsible for the infection, offering a non-invasive way to target the fungal cells beneath the nail while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This treatment typically requires multiple sessions and results are visible as the new, healthy nail grows out, with most patients needing to wait several months to see full improvement.
