If the thought of losing your hair freaks you out, or you could see your scalp under direct sunlight, or worse, when you run your finger through your hairline. This video is for you. I am a 39 year old board certified dermatologist and I'm here to tell you that you do not have to have surgery or a hair transplant to help yourself in your hair loss journey. Before we go further, not all hair loss is created equal. Of course. You have to understand the root cause of your hair loss before you can treat it and that's where seeing a board certified dermatologist is huge. However, if you fall in the majority of cases, I'm talking about genetically predisposed hair loss, like female pattern or male pattern hair loss, my best advice for you is throw the kitchen sink at it. Why? Because psychologically the burden that losing your hair carries far outweighs the benefit of trying to figure out which treatment is going to work individually. You have to throw everything at your scalp, save every hair follicle on your scalp and then once we know your hair is being saved, we can pair it back.
