Review :
"The book focuses on an integrative approach to evaluating and treating diffuse, non-scarring hair loss, including androgenic alopecia. It differs from standard references that typically only address medical therapies such as systemic medications." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice)
