Hair loss On Testosterone PT1 Anabolic Doc
-
- Medicine
Hair loss is a side effect of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT.) This video is the first of a series, “On Testosterone,” where I discuss the factors that should be considered while on TRT and before starting. I cover the causes of hair loss, the science of balding, how to assess your risk before starting TRT, and ways to minimize hair loss on TRT. Some tactics and treatments are more effective than others, and some come with their own side effects to consider. If you are on TRT or considering it and concerned about hair loss, watch this video!

New government guidelines allow me to offer fully remote care to most new TRT and Anabolic Recovery patients. Email or call the office to see if you qualify.
