About RootMD

Built by people who understand hair loss. Because they've lived it.

Meet the surgeon, the dermatology resident, and the patient behind RootMD.

Our Mission

At RootMD, our mission is simple: treat the root cause of hair thinning and hair loss with effective, science-backed care. We see every day what hair loss does to confidence, so we hold our products to the same standard we'd want for our own patients. Accessible, clinically-informed, and focused on results that actually last.

Where it started

Three people. One shared frustration.

RootMD started with something a surgeon, a dermatology resident, and someone who has lived through hair loss himself all kept seeing. Too many people wait too long for real answers, and settle for products that were never built with real science behind them. We started RootMD to change that.

Who's behind it

Three people, one mission.

Our approach

Three things we won't compromise on

Evidence-based education

We explain the causes and treatments of hair loss clearly and honestly, with no guesswork, no gimmicks, and no miracle claims.

Clinically-informed formulas

Every RootMD formula is built on ingredients with real research behind them, chosen the way a surgeon chooses them, not the way a trend does.

A community, not a customer base

Doctors, PAs, trichologists, and hair technicians go live 200+ hours a month, so you're never figuring this out alone.

Answer a few questions about your hair and goals, and get matched to the RootMD routine built for you.
