So many women I know are quietly dealing with hair loss, whether it’s caused by significant weight loss, having a baby, Covid, or perimenopause. I’ve been navigating the latter two, and while I’ve tried a handful of treatments over the years, nothing seemed to move the needle—not even injecting my scalp with actual needles. But a few months ago, my friend Melinda Farina (you might know her as the Beauty Broker), connected me with Dr. Ben Paul, a plastic surgeon in New York City and a top hair restoration expert. After some thoughtful digging to get to the root cause of my own thinning, I found myself lying under this fascinating device that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to stimulate hair growth. It was completely painless and honestly, I think my hair’s already feeling a bit fuller. As Dr. Paul recently shared with me, it’s one of the more innovative, non-invasive approaches available to women experiencing hair loss and shedding—something we should be talking about far more openly. You can read our enlightening (and hopeful) conversation in today’s newsletter.
