Dr. Kristen Lo Sicco: Why Is My Hair Thinning? The Truth About Hair Loss

Hair loss is something so many of us experience, but we don’t always know what’s actually causing it, or what we can do about it. In this episode, we sit down with board-certified dermatologist and alopecia expert Dr. Kristen Lo Sicco to get the real scoop on thinning hair, hair loss and what happens to our hair as we age.We talk about everything from hormones, genetics, stress and nutritional deficiencies to the treatments that actually have evidence behind them, including minoxidil, supplements, PRP and red light therapy. Dr. Lo Sicco also answers some of our biggest questions: Is it ever too late to treat hair loss? Do expensive over-the-counter products really work? How long do you have to stay on treatments? And what should women know about hair-loss medications when trying to get pregnant?Most importantly, we talk about the shame and self-consciousness that can come with hair loss, and why wanting to feel like yourself again is not vanity.
