## Frequently asked questions
- **Is my consultation really private?** Yes. 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. It causes all-over thinning rather than bald patches, and most women recover within 6 to 9 months with the right support.
- [How Much Hair Loss Is Normal? Is Losing 100 Hairs a Day OK?](https://hairsolutionsli.com/blog/how-much-hair-loss-is-normal-per-day): Most women lose 50 to 100 hairs a day as part of the normal hair cycle. More than that, or shedding that lasts longer than 3 months, can signal telogen effluvium, hormonal thinning or a nutritional issue. A magnified scalp analysis can show what is really happening.
- [Hair Regrowth After Chemo: What to Expect Month by Month](https://hairsolutionsli.com/blog/hair-regrowth-after-chemo-what-to-expect): Hair regrowth after chemo usually starts 3 to 6 weeks after the final treatment. Expect soft fuzz at first, about an inch of growth by 2 to 3 months, and fuller coverage by 6 to 12 months. New hair may grow in curlier or a different color at first.
- [How to Choose a Medical Wig on Long Island: Cranial Prosthesis Guide](https://hairsolutionsli.com/blog/how-to-choose-a-medical-wig-long-island): The right medical wig depends on scalp sensitivity, lifestyle and budget. Human hair wigs with a monofilament top look the most natural and can be heat-styled. Synthetic wigs are lighter and lower-maintenance. A custom fitting makes sure the cap is secure and comfortable.
- [Preparing for Hair Loss During Chemotherapy: A Gentle Guide for Women](https://hairsolutionsli.com/blog/preparing-for-hair-loss-during-chemotherapy): Hair loss during chemotherapy usually begins 2 to 4 weeks after the first treatment.

A private fitting and a cranial prosthesis receipt can make the process easier.
- [Seasonal Hair Shedding in Fall: Why Women Lose More Hair in Autumn](https://hairsolutionsli.com/blog/seasonal-hair-shedding-in-fall-why-women-lose-more-hair-in-autumn): Seasonal hair shedding in fall is common.
