Fort Lauderdale, a center for dermatology care

The NPI registry lists 33 dermatology providers with an office in Fort Lauderdale, 18.0 for every 100,000 residents: 3.2 times the national rate of 5.5 and above Florida's 6.7. Roughly 5,500 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Within 25 miles of Fort Lauderdale there are 302 dermatology providers for 3,437,094 residents (8.8 per 100,000), a dense supply; 86 are in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Most dermatology care in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area is elsewhere: Fort Lauderdale has 6% of the area's 542 providers. Across Broward County the figure is 7.1 per 100,000: 138 providers for 1,946,127 residents.[NPI][OMB]

Pattern hair loss can be assessed online, from home in Fort Lauderdale. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

The NPI registry (October 23, 2026) lists where each dermatology provider practices. A provider counts in the city when the practice address names it, and within 10 or 25 miles by the center of the practice ZIP code. Not counted: physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dermatopathologists. Rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 residents.

Fort Lauderdale by age: the years hair loss is common

Half of Fort Lauderdale's residents are older than 42.9 (42.6 statewide). 51,497 men aged 40 and older live here, 28.1% of all residents, more than Florida's 25.4%. Pattern hair loss in men becomes more common with age; more than half of men over 50 have some.[1][ACS]

24,476 women are 45 to 64, 13.4% of residents, more than Florida's 13.3%: 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 Fort Lauderdale

Florida's birth rate is among the lower ones, 9.6 per 1,000 residents in 2024; that was still 224,389 babies born to its residents, about 613 a day. For scale, 0.8% of Florida's residents live in Fort Lauderdale.[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]
