Dermatologists in Los Angeles: fewer per resident than the US

Los Angeles has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country: 150 in the NPI registry, 3.9 per 100,000 residents against 5.5 nationally and below California's 6.2. Roughly 25,700 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Within 10 miles of the city there are 290 dermatology providers, and within 25 miles 540, about 6.6 per 100,000 of the 8,225,445 residents in that radius.[NPI][ZCTA]

Most dermatology care in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area is elsewhere: Los Angeles has 18% of the area's 857 providers. Across Los Angeles County the figure is 5.8 per 100,000: 576 providers for 9,848,406 residents.[NPI][OMB]

With fewer dermatology offices in Los Angeles, an online visit for pattern hair loss is one more way to be seen without a wait for a local appointment slot. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, by practice address: in the city means the address names the city; the 10- and 25-mile counts add every provider whose ZIP code center lies that close. Dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted, and the rates use ACS 2019–2023 population.

Men and women in Los Angeles at the ages hair thins

Half of Los Angeles's residents are older than 36.9 (37.6 statewide). There are 846,104 men 40 or older in Los Angeles (21.9% of residents; less than California's 22.6%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

470,820 women are 45 to 64, 12.2% of residents, less than California's 12.4%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[2][ACS]

Those are age counts, not counts of hair loss: the only prevalence figures are national, an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US.[1]

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Los Angeles

In 2024, 402,075 babies were born to residents of California, roughly 1,099 a day, a birth rate of 10.2 per 1,000 residents. Los Angeles holds 9.8% of the state's 39,242,785 people.[NCHS][ACS]

The American Academy of Dermatology says heavy shedding after a birth usually peaks about four months later, is temporary, and is not true hair loss; most women’s hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday.[3]

No finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding. After that, thinning that lasts past a year may be female pattern hair loss, which a physician can assess online.[4][5][6]
