Noticing more hair in the shower? On your pillow?

Some shedding is normal, but when does it cross the line into hair loss?

Here’s how to tell the difference:
Shedding: 50-100 strands a day is normal.
Thinning: Hair looks noticeably sparser, your part is wider, or scalp becomes visible.

If you're starting to notice changes, our dermatologists can help identify the cause and guide you toward effective, personalized treatment options.

We always recommend avoiding sunburns by practicing sun safety. But we understand it can happen. If you're dealing with red, painful skin after sun exposure, here’s how to support recovery:

• Use an aloe-based moisturizer to soothe and support healing.
• Stay extra hydrated to help your skin recover from moisture loss.
• Avoid popping any blisters to reduce the risk of infection.
• Wear soft, breathable clothing and stay out of the sun while your skin heals.

If your sunburn is severe or not healing properly, our dermatologists can help. Prevention is key, but caring for your skin after a burn can help it recover more comfortably and safely.
