Why Is My Hair Falling Out?

July 7, 2026 · 39 min

Show notes

Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women, but what's actually causing it? Cosmetic and Emergency Medicine Physician Dr Sean Arendse helps make sense of the facts and myths surrounding hair loss. We discuss the differences between male and female hair loss, when it's worth seeking medical advice, the approaches that may be considered in clinical practice, and what the current evidence tells us about social media trends and emerging technologies.
