Dr. Kaminer was the live in-studio guest for the popular Night Beat television show. The host was Portland Helmich, and the topic was hair loss for both men and women. Night Beat is well regarded as a forum for discussion of important topics in and educational, non-sensational, in depth format. The show aired on December 6, 2005.
One of the central topics discussed was the role of hair transplantation for women. It is now known that women can lose hair for genetic reasons just as men do, and fortunately hair transplantation is a successful treatment. the procedure takes about 4 to 5 hours, and can give women (and men) back the hair they have lost with time.
Other topics discussed included medical causes of hair loss, as well as non-surgical options in partnership with our colleagues at PK Walsh in Needham, MA.
