With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we wanted to address some of the common questions that we receive from new or expecting mothers regarding their hair loss.

Over the course of this past year, a number of times, we have touched on the importance of de-stressing, as we always knew that stress could cause hair loss. As April is Stress Awareness month, we are excited that there may be some good news when it comes to hair loss from stress. In a study released on March 31st, researchers from Harvard believe they have identified why hair loss occurs due …Read More
I recently read an article about the “skinification” of hair care.

If we were to poll 10 random people and ask them what male hair loss looks like, they would probably all give similar answers about starting as receding in temples, with thinning in the crown, and eventually balding on top with a ring of hair around the head. If we then asked those same 10 people what female hair loss looks like, I am pretty confident we would get 10 different answers. This is…Read More

As a primary care physician for thirty years, I saw firsthand how these inequalities impacted my patients, especially as women are more likely to f…Read More
If you attended our webinar last week, “How Our Nutrition Impacts Our Hair”, you know how strongly I believe that a healthy diet can play an important role in the health of our hair. In this blog, I want to look at not just the vitamins and nutrients needed for healthy hair, but the overall types of diets. The hair follicle is an extremely complex structure and made up of some of the most me…Read More
The ultimate goal of our medical consultation is to determine the cause of your hair loss. Starting treatment without knowing the cause is really not helpful, and often is costly both in time and money. There are many types of hair loss that women can experience, and each of these types can have several different causes. During the physical exam of your scalp and hair, we will closely examine …Read More

One ingredient that we discussed that many patients may not be as familiar with is Ashwagandha Root. When thinking of important…Read More
When Medi Tresse opened 2015, our mission was two-fold. First, we wanted to help all women experiencing hair loss feel empowered by their options and reclaim their confidence. Secondly, as the leading medical professionals in our industry, we wanted to normalize women's hair loss through education while creating a caring and supportive community for women. That second part is the hardest, but …Read More
