Dr. Marc Darrow, MD

Dr. Marc Darrow, MD runs a hair loss treatment center located in West Los Angeles.  His office offers the latest technology in hair restoration to stop the progression of hair loss and stimulate the growth of new hair.

Dr. Darrow believes that baldness and hair loss are not always inevitable, and rate of hair loss can often be reduced with proper treatment.

Not everyone wants hair transplants or potentially harmful prescription medications to re-grow their lost hair. If you’re looking for alternatives to surgery or drugs, call Dr. Darrow and find out about his program to stop hair loss and potentially re-grow lost hair.
