Every single week we had a hair clinic.
The only people in that clinic were people who were suffering from various types of hair loss.
And I learned a lot.
It's actually a really hard clinic because hair loss is so emotional.
And so to have every patient so deeply affected, more so than when I would tell people you have skin cancer or any other thing about their skin, hair loss brings up a lot of emotions in people.
There's probably a little bit of both going on.
We certainly see more hair loss now that the GLP-1s are everywhere because they cause hair loss in a lot of people.
So we know that rapid weight loss causes hair loss.
No matter how you're doing it with a GLP-1, whether you're on diet and exercise—
We don't fully understand whether the GLP-1 itself does.
A lot of the mechanisms of GLP-1, we would expect it not to because it's anti-inflammatory.
It's probably a little bit of both, but I think people just have way more awareness around it.
Even when I was doing my general dermatology clinic 10 plus years ago,
I would see hair loss on a lot of people, but no one would really bring it up.
And I think people just really understand and they know to look for it now, which is good because it gives us opportunities to intervene earlier.
But I do think there's just like so much more chatter about it.
Because hair loss is a symptom of something, the single most important thing to do is get a diagnosis of what type of hair loss you have.
Do you have female or male pattern hair loss, which is the most common kind, which is sort of progressive and slow over someone's lifetime?
But you can have things like alopecia areata, which is immune-mediated.
You can have scarring types of hair loss.
