About Jason Paul
Expertise
I can answer questions concerning why hair thins and leads to balding areas. Why the scalp itches and flakes. What causes receding hairlines. What causes hair to break off and shed. Why does the hair become dry or too oily.

Experience
I am a Trichologist. (Specialist in hair and scalp problems) I have been researching the causes of thinning hair for over 30 years. I established the very first Hair Clinic in New York and was the director of The Hair Biological Center in Manhattan and the head of the Trichology department at Paul Mitchell's famous Superhair Salon also in Manhattan. My research has led me to what I believe to be one of the major causes of thinning hair in both males and females. I would like to share my findings with anyone who wants to learn how to correct this problem.

Hair Loss - Hair loss (after accutane - acne medication)


Expert: Jason Paul - 6/30/2005

Question
Hi there;

I took the acne drug accutane about three years ago, which really works on drying out the skin. SInce then my hair seems much dryer aswell. I notice that when I shower there are quite a few hairs falling out. I think this may be due to my scalp being dry?

Perhaps these are dead hairs, ready to come out anyway - but I don't know - how would I?

I was wondering what I can do to prevent hair loss, and to keep my hair as long as possible?


Many Thanks

Answer
Sam , thank you for your question. Visit hairsavers.net to learn more about scalp and hair problems. If you live in the USA, call me at 1-800-442-4710.

Accutane is a drug that does have side effects.  If it can dry the skin, it will also dry the scalp and possibly cause hair to become dry and fall out.  

I would suggest Hair Savers scalp system.  It is remarkable for what it can accomplish for making hair grow better and fuller.
