Spencer Kobren discusses the importance and reality of coming to terms with hair loss and speaks with callers who share their struggles and triumphs in dealing with this devastating, yet manageable disease of the spirit.
The term “politically correct” began taking on steam in the early 1990’s, and referred to the use of language that would cause any demographic, such as social or cultural groups, to feel diminished, offended or excluded. Unfortunately, when it comes to male body shaming, society doesn’t afford men the same protection of political correctness as it does for women. As a matter of fact, male pattern baldness and other male body concerns are openly mocked by the mainstream media and by woman of all social, cultural and economic backgrounds.
Check out what Spencer Kobren and TBT callers have to say about this disturbing, and for many, distressing societal double standard.
Low level laser light therapy (LLLT) as an effective treatment for hair loss has been the topic of some pretty heated debates on TBT over the years. While LLLT is still not recognized by The American Hair Loss Association as an effective treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia, many respected experts in the field believe that certain devices on the market can actually help hair loss sufferers.
Clinical studies have shown that LLLT has been able to stimulate hair growth in mice with chemotherapy-induced alopecia, however the data for human hair growth might be considered by some as being more subjective. With that said, there does seem to be growing anecdotal evidence that these laser devices might just be doing something.
Check out Spencer Kobren and Alan J. Bauman, M.D., discussing the reality of LLLT therapy for hair loss and Dr. B’s recent appearance on The Doctors.
