This video features an interview from Alessandro, a member of our community. For 10+ years, Alessandro was misdiagnosed by five different doctors / dermatologists as having androgenic alopecia. Despite pursuing treatments, his hair loss only worsened.
Finally, he was correctly diagnosed with androgenic alopecia plus another hair loss disorder. This changed his entire treatment approach... and today, he's finally seeing hair regrowth.
Alessandro's hair loss story doesn't have to be your own. This video is as much a cautionary tale as it is a reflection of the underwhelming care too many dermatologists provide to their hair loss patients.
I hope you use the takeaways to ensure that you never go through the same experience:
Alessandro's early diagnosis of androgenic alopecia as a teenager
Nearly 10 years of treatment failures (finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, massaging, & more)
