Diagnosis-first, non-surgical hair & scalp care · Austin, TX
Every answer starts here.
You can’t treat what you haven’t identified. That’s the whole philosophy of this practice, condensed into one visit: before anyone at PROGEN recommends anything, we find out what’s actually happening on your scalp.
Somewhere between the drugstore aisle and the fifth supplement subscription, most people discover the hard truth: products aimed at nothing in particular produce nothing in particular. Hair loss has distinct causes — androgenetic thinning, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, and others — and each one calls for different care.
A free consultation at many clinics is fifteen minutes with a salesperson and a brochure. This is not that. Your PROGEN evaluation is a clinical assessment, performed under the supervision of our Medical Director, Dr. Marcial Oquendo, MD, and its only job is to produce an answer.
Welcome & history (10 min) — your story, in your words.
Scalp analysis (15–20 min) — magnified examination, non-invasive, entirely painless.
Findings & plan (15–20 min) — see what we see; hear your options; ask everything.
Total: under an hour. No preparation needed — come as you are (freshly washed hair is helpful but not required).
Magnified scalp analysis — a close examination of your scalp and follicles at magnification, so patterns invisible in the mirror become visible on screen.
Complete history review — health changes, stressors, styling history, family patterns, and everything that shaped your hair’s current state.
Condition assessment — a physician-supervised read on which type of loss you’re experiencing and what stage it’s in.
Your findings, explained — what we see, what it means, and what your realistic options are, in plain language.
A personalized plan (if treatment fits) — which protocols match your condition, in what sequence, over what timeline, at what cost. Every number on the table before you decide anything.
Clarity. Whether your plan involves our microfocused ultrasound protocol, PRP, red light therapy, peptides, a combination — or the honest news that you don’t need treatment at all, or would be better served by another kind of specialist — you leave knowing the reason behind your hair loss and exactly what your options are. No pressure, no countdown-timer discounts, no “today only” pricing. The decision is yours, made with real information.
You’ve noticed new or accelerating thinning, shedding, or recession
You’ve tried treatments — minoxidil, supplements, even PRP elsewhere — without a diagnosis behind them
You’re postpartum and the shedding hasn’t slowed
You’ve been told surgery is your only option and want a second opinion
You’d simply rather know than keep wondering
Earlier evaluation generally means more options. Waiting rarely improves the picture.
