THE DOCTOR’S COMPLETE GUIDE TO HAIR LOSS, BY DR. SHELLY FRIEDMAN, DO, 2018

An informed decision is the best decision and Dr. Friedman wants every one who endures unwanted hair loss to have the information they need to treat it effectively. Lies, exaggerations, fake science, and bogus claims have polluted the internet, making it difficult to get to the truth.

To guide men and women in the right direction, Dr. Friedman has taken the best of his 36+ years as a dermatologist and hair restoration doctor and concentrated it down into an easy-to-read book, The Doctor’s Complete Guide to Hair Loss. From it, you will learn why we lose hair, how it is lost, how we can prevent it, and what we can do—surgically and non-surgically—to get it back.

With over 100 illustrations and a straight-forward writing style, men and women can get to the truth, and avoid misinformation. Get your copy today from Amazon.com, $3.99 for Kindle readers.
