What is your philosophy in consulting with and treating patients?

DR. TRUE explains that for most hair loss sufferers there is hope. Not for all, because we're still struggling with some types of hair loss, some degrees of hair loss, to really be able to offer adequate treatment. But Dr. True thinks for the vast majority of people who are losing their hair, there is a clinical armamentarium which includes hair loss medications, hair transplantation, alopecia masking cosmetics, a whole variety of things that he can use to be able to help people with their hair loss.

Hair transplantation is not for everybody, but there are also other alternatives that can help short of that. And in many instances are the appropriate choices: use of Minoxidil Ro gaine for women whose hair is thinning can be very helpful; use of Finasteride or Propecia and Minoxidil for men when they first are beginning to lose their hair can be extremely helpful. Dr. True has seen some wonderful results with those medications as they've been used.
