You Are Not Alone
Hair loss is painful.
We understand.
Hair loss is more than a cosmetic concern — it touches your identity, your confidence, and your sense of self. For Black women especially, our hair carries deep cultural meaning. Watching it thin, shed, or recede can feel isolating and overwhelming.
At Sol, we believe you deserve more than a generic recommendation or a product pushed without a proper workup. You deserve a physician who takes your hair loss seriously, listens to your story, and gives you real answers before reaching for a treatment plan.
- Diagnosis first. We never recommend treatment before we understand what's causing your hair loss.
- Physician-led care. Dr. Cooke brings clinical expertise in hair loss conditions affecting Black women.
- Whole-body approach. Hair loss often signals deeper health concerns — we look at the full picture.

your hair journey.
Where We Start
The Hair Rejuvenation
Consultation.
Before any treatment is recommended, you'll meet with Dr. Cooke for a comprehensive hair diagnostic consultation. Using trichoscopy — a specialized dermoscopic examination of the scalp and hair follicles — we get a clinical picture of what's actually happening beneath the surface.
This is the foundation of everything. The right treatment for the wrong diagnosis won't work. We get the diagnosis right first.
Hair Rejuvenation Consultation
Comprehensive trichoscopic hair & scalp diagnostic with Dr. Cooke. Includes personalized treatment recommendations.
- Trichoscopic examination of the scalp and hair follicles
- Review of medical history, labs, and contributing health factors
- Clinical diagnosis of hair loss type and severity
- Personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition
- Discussion of all available treatment options and expected outcomes
Understanding Hair Loss
Types of hair loss
in Black women.
Hair loss is not one-size-fits-all — and treating it without a proper diagnosis can make things worse. These are the most common types of hair loss we see and treat at Sol, each requiring a different clinical approach.
Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)
The most common form of scarring hair loss in Black women. CCCA begins at the crown and spreads outward, permanently destroying hair follicles if left untreated. Early diagnosis is critical — this is why trichoscopy matters. Symptoms are often subtle at first: tenderness, itching, or scaling at the crown before visible thinning appears.
⚠ Crown thinning · Scalp tenderness · Itching · Scaling
Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL)
The most common cause of hair loss overall, androgenetic alopecia in women presents as diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, often with a widening part. Driven by genetics and hormone sensitivity, it can accelerate significantly during perimenopause and menopause. Unlike CCCA, the follicles are not destroyed — making early treatment highly effective.
⚠ Widening part · Diffuse thinning · Hormonal triggers
Telogen Effluvium (TE)
A temporary but often alarming form of hair loss triggered by physical or emotional stress on the body — illness, surgery, childbirth, rapid weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or major life events. Hair sheds diffusely, sometimes in handfuls, typically 2–3 months after the triggering event. The good news: with the right support, telogen effluvium is reversible.
⚠ Diffuse shedding · Stress-related · Often reversible
Traction Alopecia (TA)
Caused by chronic tension on the hair follicle from tight styling — braids, weaves, extensions, ponytails, and relaxers over time. Traction alopecia commonly presents at the hairline, temples, and edges. Caught early, it is reversible. Left untreated, chronic traction can lead to permanent follicular damage. A clinical examination helps distinguish early from advanced TA.
⚠ Hairline recession · Temple thinning · Edge loss
Treatment Options
After your diagnosis,
we build your plan.
Once we understand the cause of your hair loss, we design a personalized treatment plan. No two plans are the same — because no two patients are the same. Here are the treatment modules available at Sol.
01
Medical Therapy
Topical & Systemic Medications
Prescription and over-the-counter medications tailored to your diagnosis. Topical minoxidil remains a gold standard for many types of hair loss, improving blood flow to follicles and extending the growth phase. We match the medication to the mechanism — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
02
Alma TED Therapy
Ultrasound-Based Hair Restoration
Alma TED uses acoustic sound wave technology to open channels in the scalp, dramatically improving the delivery of the TED+ Hair Care Formula to the follicle. No needles, no pain, no downtime — and results visible after as few as 2 treatments. An excellent option for androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.
03
Scalp Injections
Targeted Follicular Support
Therapeutic injections delivered directly to the scalp to reduce inflammation, stimulate follicular activity, and support regrowth. Particularly effective for inflammatory and scarring alopecias like CCCA, where reducing scalp inflammation is essential to halting progression and promoting recovery.
04
Xtresse Hair Supplements
Nutritional Follicular Support
Targeted nutritional support for hair growth and follicular strength. Xtresse gummies are formulated to address the nutritional deficiencies commonly associated with hair loss in Black women — including biotin, iron, and key micronutrients. Used as part of a comprehensive treatment protocol.
05
Exosome Therapy
Advanced Regenerative Treatment
Exosomes are cutting-edge cell-signaling molecules that stimulate hair follicle regeneration at a cellular level. As one of the most exciting advances in hair restoration medicine, exosome therapy shows exceptional promise for a range of hair loss types — including scarring alopecias. Coming to Sol soon.
06
PRP Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses your own blood's growth factors — concentrated and injected into the scalp — to stimulate dormant follicles and encourage regrowth. A well-established treatment with a strong clinical track record for androgenetic alopecia and early-stage traction alopecia. Coming to Sol soon.

Common Questions
Your questions,
answered.
Why do you start with a diagnostic consultation?
Because hair loss is not one condition — it's many. Treating androgenetic alopecia the same way you treat CCCA, for example, can actually cause harm. A proper trichoscopic examination allows Dr. Cooke to identify exactly what type of hair loss you have, what's driving it, and what treatment protocol will be most effective for you specifically.
What is trichoscopy?
Trichoscopy is a non-invasive dermoscopic examination of the scalp and hair follicles. Using a specialized magnifying tool, Dr. Cooke can visualize the follicle structure, scalp condition, and hair shaft characteristics in detail — identifying patterns that distinguish different types of alopecia before they're visible to the naked eye. It's one of the most powerful tools in hair loss diagnosis.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends entirely on your diagnosis and chosen treatment protocol. Some patients see meaningful improvement after 2–3 Alma TED sessions; others with inflammatory or scarring conditions may require a longer medical regimen. Dr. Cooke will give you realistic expectations and a clear timeline at your consultation.
Can hair loss from CCCA or traction alopecia be reversed?
It depends on the stage. CCCA is a scarring alopecia, which means follicles that have already been destroyed cannot be restored — but early intervention can halt progression and preserve what remains. Traction alopecia caught early is often fully reversible. This is why getting an accurate diagnosis as early as possible is so important.
Do I need to be a Sol DPC member for hair rejuvenation services?
No — hair rejuvenation consultations and treatments are available to all patients, membership or not. Sol Elite members do receive a monthly aesthetic service (valued up to $200) that can be applied toward hair rejuvenation treatments as part of their membership.
Is Alma TED painful?
No. Alma TED is an entirely non-invasive, needle-free, pain-free treatment. There is no downtime. Most patients find the experience comfortable and relaxing. It can typically be completed in 30 minutes or less.
