Preface
This book is a very practical guide to the treatment of hair disorders. It is at the same time a vade mecum for young physicians and a consultation tool for experienced doctors. The book emphasizes the practical features of clinical diagnosis and discusses approved and off-label treatments for all common and uncommon types of alopecias.
It also teaches, step by step, how to perform the most common hair procedures, such us intralesional steroid injections, platelet-enriched plasma, and micro-needling. Other chapters cover the efficacy and indications of different lasers, including LLLT devices; ingredients and indications of nutraceuticals; and the basic information needed to counsel your patient about hair transplantation.
Hair patients ask thousand of questions, and you will find in this book the answers to all these questions. You will learn how to suggest the best shampoo and conditioner, what to explain about hair dyes and straighteners, which camouflage options are best, and even which styling instruments can help patients with alopecia.
I hope you will enjoy this book and keep it on your desk, so that you can always offer your patients the best and most modern treatment options.
I have to thank my family, who always supports me and gives me the energy to complete all my projects and goals.
