The Tamsen Show · The Hair Loss Doctor: What Works (And What’s a Waste) · 25 Feb 2026 podcast

They can get chin hair, sideburn hair that they don't want.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

When you use it topically, orally it's working everywhere.

When you use it topically, it's regional.

So we put it on our scalp, but it can work anywhere from the scalp to the chin.

You can do it over the counter.

When we prescribe it, it's stronger, so it's often more effective.

And when we prescribe the topical compound, I often mix it with other ingredients.

So I'll mix it with tretinoin because that helps it penetrate.

I'll mix it with finasteride because that helps to block

the conversion to the very strong male hormone that causes hair loss.

I'll mix it with Dutasteride, which is even stronger than that.

I'll mix it with steroids.

What we know from some studies is that women, for whatever reason, even in female pattern hair loss, we have more inflammation than men.

And so I will add a little bit of steroid to help with that inflammation, which is inevitably also affecting hair.

And it happens because in order for a new hair to come in, an old hair has to go out, right?

So we have those different phases.

And it can be a scary moment because you're losing hair.

But I often tell my patients, you're losing hair because you're a great responder.
