Hair loss is quite common and although it occurs more commonly in men, it can also occur in women. It s estimated that up to 80% of men and nearly 50% of women experience hair loss. While it s not a life-or-death health issue, it can have a negative effect on confidence and self-esteem and a significant amount of money is spent on hair regrowth products and restoration procedures. Did you know that about 95% of our total skin area is covered in hair and you can lose up to 50% of your hair before it s noticeable to others? How does hair loss differ in males and females? Why do some men go bald? And how effective is the pharmacologic treatment that s available in producing hair regrowth? We ll discuss these questions and more with our guest, Jason C. Sluzevich, M.D., a dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is Handling Our Patients with Hair Loss .
