This video addresses hair shedding and thinning, a common topic in Dr. Sugai's dermatology clinic. He discusses dos and don'ts related to hair thinning and shedding, focusing on the efficacy of supplements, particularly Nutrifol.
Key Takeaways
Research is crucial: Always prioritize evidence-based treatments and research the supplement's clinical trials (double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled studies) before using it.
Start early: Begin addressing hair thinning early to maintain existing hair and support growth.
Consult a dermatologist: Hair thinning is a symptom, not a diagnosis. A dermatologist can provide a formal diagnosis and treatment plan. Seek immediate attention for rapid thinning, scarring, itching, or pain.
Consider internal and external approaches: Explore both oral (supplements or prescription medications) and topical options, along with lifestyle changes. Drug-free options exist, such as Nutrifol, which addresses root causes like hormones, stress, and lifestyle.
Be patient: Treatments often take several months (around six months) to show results; don't give up too soon. Avoid tight hairstyles, high heat styling, and understand that hair thinning isn't solely inherited maternally.
