Are Hair Loss Treatments Worth It? Minoxidil, PRP, Exosomes & Hair Transplants | EP 06

**Are hair loss treatments actually worth it? Which ones work—and which ones are just a waste of money?** In Episode 6 of **Scalpel and Skin**, Dr. Algie LaBrasca, a board-certified plastic surgeon, and Mistica LaBrasca, a cosmetic dermatology physician assistant, break down the most common **hair loss treatments and hair restoration options** for men and women. From **minoxidil and finasteride** to **PRP, PRF, PDGF, exosomes, red light caps, and hair transplants**, they talk about what each treatment does, who may benefit, and whether they think it's actually worth doing. They also discuss why genetics, hormones, stress, medications, diet, and other factors can contribute to hair loss—and why starting treatment earlier may help preserve the hair you have.
