It would be somewhat amusing if I wasn’t left with such unease for those women seeking treatment: Sean Buckley - CEO + advertising ‘face’ for Ultra Tune automotive repairs is now also CEO of Ultra Hair - Hair Replacement Company…

This is not the Blog I had intended to introduce my association with the award-winning Dermaray Personal Laser System….

Tragically the brilliant designer + manufacturer of Dermaray Systems – Nick Balgowan – succumbed to depression + (I suppose) the stress of his work and took his own life recently.

No Names Please…!!

For some time now I’ve been perceived by consumers - and increasingly the media - as a commentator on the practices of the hair loss industry. I’m often called upon to provide (as best I can) my unbiased opinion on treatments, products, hair-related appliances, costs and behaviour of companies within this industry.

Readers may wonder why I’ve posted this list of behaviours + traits to develop within our individual characters. There’s nothing new here …this simple method of personal self-discipline + relating to others as you would wish for yourself has been extolled by every philosopher + ‘pop’ psychologist since the days of Jesus + his Disciples (not that they were ‘pop’ psychologists!!).

I cannot mention them by name because every time I do I am presented with a ‘shut your mouth’ demand from their lawyers….

Times of economic downturn can be an unintended positive for those consumers treading the minefield of the hair loss treatment industry.

It appears that most consumers are presently less inclined to be taken in by the ‘guarantees’ and promises of the commercial hair loss centres, studios or ‘Institutes’.

When a woman (of any age) is distressed over thinning or excessively shedding hair it may often be difficult to find the right answers for her. Here are some recent testimonials from women who have appreciated my approach to their respective problems:

Earlier this year I applied for some Australian Federal Govt. funding to prove what I have long (anecdotally) known - Alopecia areata (AA) can be caused by food allergies (Gluten - the main protein wheat + Dairy) in greater 90% of young children at first presentation.

As a Trichologist specialising in the causes and treatment of female hair loss, I am consulted by many women – who by good fortune or sheer desperation – see me as their final hope.

 

Scalp rollers or ’scourers’ are now being sold online, and by some commercial hair loss centres as an application enhancer for Minoxidil topical solution.
