But it can be addressed, stabilized, and often reversed through surgical and nonsurgical procedures that continue to emerge and evolve in medical science. If you are losing your hair, you are not powerless. Dr. Gould is a hair loss treatment specialist that patients can get excited about! Hair loss treatment in Beverly Hills is a powerful option, so schedule a consultation with our team to learn more.
Hair restoration refers to any and all medically validated procedures developed to stop and reverse hair loss. These treatments can often be combined to create effective and highly customized hair loss treatment plans.
Hair transplant surgery grafts small pieces of healthy hair-bearing scalp from donor sites on your head to balding or thinning areas of your scalp. These relocated hair follicles are secured in your scalp using tiny punches made into your treatment areas.
Non-surgical hair restoration treatments can often be highly effective. Dr. Gould is a staunch believer in combining and sequencing selected procedures to optimize individual results.
To address hair loss, doctors must first understand it. Dr. Gould’s exhaustive research has found that hair loss is most frequently caused by hormonal disruption of the hair follicle growth cycle. For example, high testosterone levels can push hair follicles into a type of hibernation known medically as “senescence.” Stress factors, the aging process, genetics, and many nutritional deficiencies and imbalances — and in some cases illnesses — can also contribute to hair loss. But contrary to widespread belief, hair loss is not determined exclusively by your maternal grandfather, and baldness is not generally caused by poor circulation to your scalp.
Dr. Gould is a staunch believer in addressing all factors that can lead to hair loss. In his words: “Addressing any of these without covering all of them is not a good strategy. We can think of the system as a reactor or a fireplace. Fire requires oxygen, ignition source, outflow, and inflow. If we have perfect nutrients but the hormonal issues are imbalanced, there is still a choke point.”

Dr. Gould will carefully review your medical history and ask about your diet, medications, hair care regimen, and whether hair loss runs in your family. In addition, blood tests may reveal medical or nutritional factors that may contribute to your hair loss. Microscopic examination of some of your hair may uncover possible disorders of your hair shafts. After considering all of this, Dr. Gould will design a customized treatment plan, especially for you.
Step One: Dr. Gould begins by recommending a treatment known as Nutrafol, a proven supplement prescribed in quantities appropriate for your sex and age. The medication can be purchased at our facility and renewed monthly, along with our recommended serum and stress adapters.
Step Two: Next is hormonal regulation, which Dr. Gould prefers to administer via a topical foam and topical serum.
Step Three: That is then followed by prescribing oral antioxidants that provide systemic balance including NAC (N Acetyl l Cysteine) and Glutathione.
Step Four: Once the right mix of nutrients, hormones, and antioxidants have been selected, Dr. Gould proceeds with a plan he has developed and named PHAT — PRP Hybridized Adipose Transfer. The procedure mixes fat cells with PRP that is then transferred to the scalp.

The FDA has approved a laser device to treat hereditary hair loss in men and women. While more studies are needed to establish long-term effects, a series of small studies indicate the treatment may improve hair density. Beverly Hills patients should ask Dr. Gould if he thinks they could benefit from laser treatment for hair loss.
Since hair restoration procedures and medications are considered cosmetic, your insurance will not cover the costs. Have a thorough conversation with your doctor about costs prior to your treatment.
