Even where offices are close, an online visit for pattern hair loss fits around work and family without a waiting room. 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.

Cedar Rapids by age: the years hair loss is common

Cedar Rapids's median age is 36.9, close to Iowa's 38.6. Men 40 and older number 30,128, or 22.0% of the city, less than Iowa's 23.5%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[1][ACS]

Cedar Rapids has 15,525 women aged 45 to 64, 11.3% of its people, less than Iowa's 12.0%. For most women, pattern thinning begins in their 40s, 50s or 60s, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[2][ACS]

Nobody counts pattern hair loss city by city. Across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, so this page gives ages, not an estimate.[1]

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Cedar Rapids

Iowa recorded 36,436 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 11.2 per 1,000 residents, the 17th-highest (tied) of 51. For scale, 4.3% of Iowa's residents live in Cedar Rapids.[NCHS][ACS]

Many new mothers notice clumps of hair coming out a few months after delivery. Dermatologists say it peaks about four months after birth and is temporary, with fullness usually back by the baby’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]
