In this episode of the Science of Skin podcast, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Patti Farris sits down with Golden Follicle Award winner and hair restoration surgery pioneer Dr. Nicole Rogers to break down everything you need to know about hair loss treatment — from trending social media remedies to cutting-edge clinical trials.

Whether you're experiencing male pattern baldness, female pattern hair loss, postpartum shedding, or hair thinning from GLP-1 weight loss drugs, this episode covers it all. Dr. Rogers shares her expert framework for building a personalized hair loss treatment plan and explains exactly when to move from over-the-counter solutions to prescription therapies.

Topics covered include:
Rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil & nutraceuticals — do they actually work?
Oral minoxidil vs. topical minoxidil — what the latest research shows
Extended-release oral minoxidil (Veridermix) — the next FDA-approved hair loss drug?
Finasteride and dutasteride for men and women — dosing, safety, and the truth about post-finasteride syndrome
Spironolactone for pre-menopausal women with hair loss
Topical finasteride and dutasteride via compounding pharmacy
Low-level laser/red light therapy (LLLT) for hair growth — what the science really says
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections — when they help and when they're overhyped
Exosomes for hair loss — promise vs. FDA concerns
PP405 and stem cell activation — the groundbreaking new molecule in clinical trials
FUE vs. FUT hair transplant surgery — what's right for you
No-shave FUE — the emerging frontier in hair restoration
Hair transplants for women — why strip harvesting remains the gold standard

If you're searching for answers on androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, scalp health, DHT blockers, hair regrowth treatments, or the best dermatologist-recommended solutions for thinning hair, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Dr. Rogers brings decades of clinical expertise, peer-reviewed research, and real patient outcomes to help you navigate the overwhelming world of hair loss — with science, not social media hype.
