Every appointment happens in a closed, private suite. We see one client at a time and never on an open salon floor. - **Is the consultation free?** Your initial hair loss consultation is complimentary and there is no obligation. Specialized trichology analyses may carry a fee that is credited toward treatment. - **What causes hair loss in women?** Common causes include genetics (female pattern hair loss), hormonal changes like menopause and post-partum, thyroid issues, iron deficiency, stress, tight hairstyles, medications and autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata. - **Can thinning hair grow back?** Often, yes — if follicles are still active. Trichology treatment and our Class 3 clinical laser therapy can reduce shedding and thicken existing hair. When follicles are no longer productive, non-surgical hair replacement restores fullness instantly. - **Do you offer financing?** Yes, monthly payment options are available for most programs. Ask at your consultation. - **Which location should I visit?** Choose whichever is closer: our Nassau County studio or our Suffolk County studio in Commack. Both offer the full range of services. - **Does insurance cover medical wigs?** Many insurance plans reimburse a cranial prosthesis with a physician’s prescription. We supply the documentation you need. ## Articles - [Telogen Effluvium in Women: Stress Hair Loss Explained](https://hairsolutionsli.com/blog/telogen-effluvium-in-women-stress-hair-loss-explained): Telogen effluvium is temporary hair shedding that starts 2 to 3 months after a trigger such as illness, surgery, childbirth, crash dieting or major stress.
