THE TRICHOLOGIST: A DOCTOR SPECIALIZING IN HAIR
After assessing whether the cause is purely a hair problem, he will refer us to a trichologist, the doctor specializing in hair-related pathologies. We spoke with Dr. Diego Estevez, aesthetic physician and trichologist at Clínica Premium Marbella, to find out what he thinks about this whole matter.
“Most people, both men and women, are alarmed by hair loss due to societal beauty standards. Hair loss is very common, and the most frequent form is androgenetic alopecia, which is of genetic and hormonal origin, affecting 801% of men and 401% of women.”.
The first step when dealing with hair loss is a consultation with a specialist in Aesthetic Medicine or Dermatology.
