• Considering A LaserCap? Some Docs Say The Thing Might Actually Work!

    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.

  • Concerns About Shedding From Propecia – What Are The Chances It Will Occur?

    I have spent countless hours researching hair loss including getting bombarded by television, radio, internet, etc etc. It’s nice to be able to read a website (The Bald Truth & IAHRS) and listen to someone with obvious knowledge in the field. I know you always write a disclaimer in your emails that you’re not a doctor but I’m willing to bet you know more about the subject of hair loss, physically and emotionally than 99% of the doctors out there.

    I have 2 questions and I appreciate any time you put into responding. I am 32 years old and first noticed I started thinning when I was about 25. I haven’t done a thing for it but to be honest it’s been really gradual. I’m currently about a stage 3 on the scale (I forget the name) so it’s definitely time to either “shave it or save it”.

    I am going to start using Propecia, hopefully I didn’t wait too long to get that working. I’m just wondering about the ‘shedding’ phase. It doesn’t mention it on the Propecia website and I haven’t been able to find much credible information on this. I’m just wondering what the chances are of this occurring, and if it does happen how much shedding given the worst case scenario? Read more ›
