News — Weight-loss drugs are making headlines, but so are concerns about hair loss. Social media is filled with claims that these medications lead to thinning hair — but what does the science say?
, cosmetic dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon at UC San Diego Health, is available to provide expert insight on this highly discussed issue. She can address:
- Whether weight-loss drugs directly cause hair loss or if other factors — such as rapid weight loss, stress, or nutrient deficiencies — are contributors.
- The latest, evidence-based treatments for hair thinning, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) hair transplants.
- Why shedding more hair after starting treatment is often part of the natural hair growth cycle.
- How to differentiate between social media trends and treatments that are actually effective.
With many people turning to online advice and unproven remedies, Kannan can provide a clear, science-backed perspective on what works and when to seek professional care.
