If you know us you will know that we don’t get sucked in by the bright lights of sales companies- each treatment that we bring you had gone through rigorous appraisal for safety and efficacy and evidence base and usually been around for some time before we let it loose on our wonderful patients
👉🏼 hair loss is no different , many people don’t realise that there are many cause or underlying diagnoses that lead to hair thinning, increased hair shedding and hair loss
👉🏼 without understanding the underlying cause you cannot accurately target a treatment
👉🏼 The table above ( and swipe for the next 2 images ) from the fabulous EMJ beautifully summarises what we currently think and know about different types of hair loss and how to treat
👉🏼 one treatment does not fit all diagnoses , sometimes a scalp biopsy is needed and also blood tests then we can formulate a treatment plan
👉🏼 spironolactone and low dose oral minoxidil are great treatment for female pattern hair loss
👉🏼 Dutasteride scalp injections is now at the forefront of medical management of male pattern hair loss pre transplant phase
👉🏼 all this is available at Faciem Dermatology
👉🏼 PM us for more information
