Frequently Asked Questions
Is female hair loss treated by Optum Clinic?
Not right now. In order to identify the cause of female hair loss, physicians typically require testing that is not now offered by Optum Clinic.
How prevalent is MPHL, or male pattern hair loss?
Particularly in elderly males, MPHL is extremely prevalent. According to research, 16% of males under 30 and nearly half of men aged 40 to 49 report having moderate to significant hair loss.
