    Debunking Hair Loss Myths: Dr. Robert Finney Exposes Best Practices in Hair Restoration

    On this episode of BeautyCurious, hosts Dr. Elyse Love and Ian Michael Crumm welcome dermatologist and hair restoration expert Dr. Robert Finney to unravel the complexities of hair loss. Dr. Finney dives into the distinctions between androgenetic hair loss and stress-induced hair loss (AKA Telogen Effluvium), explaining how each type uniquely affects men and women, and why factors like age and genetics can predict the severity of hair thinning.   From debunking common misconceptions around hair loss, like the myth that washing hair too much is harmful or that biotin is an ideal treatment option, Dr. Finney sheds light on what really matters for healthy hair. He also discusses the range of effective treatments available today, from topical and oral therapies to in-office solutions like his signature Scalp Stim Pro treatment, clarifying how he helps patients choose an approach depending on whether the goal is to regrow hair or halt further loss.   For listeners ready to take action, Dr. Finney shares lifestyle habits that support hair health, including tips on washing frequency and avoiding potentially damaging hairstyles. Lastly, he reminds us of the patience and persistence needed in treating hair loss and how keeping track of progress can make the journey more rewarding.   More from Dr. Finney: https://www.instagram.com/robertfinneymd/ https://www.sohoskinandhair.com/   00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:30 Dr. Finney's Background and Journey 02:31 Understanding Androgenetic Hair Loss 06:18 Differences Between Male and Female Hair Loss 12:47 Stress-Induced Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium 17:00 Common Myths and Misconceptions About Hair Loss 22:09 The Hair Washing Debate 22:25 Innovative Hair Hacks 23:03 Understanding Hair Loss Treatments 23:53 Choosing the Right Therapy 24:52 Importance of DHT Blockers 25:34 Topical vs Oral Treatments 26:06 In-Office Treatments and Adjunctive Therapies 31:54 Scalp Stim Pro Treatment Explained 41:12 Lifestyle Changes for Hair Health 44:27 Patience and Follow-Up 46:08 Final Thoughts and Contact Information Hosted on Acast.
