Dr. Wasserbauer Responds To The WSJ Article About Teleheath Web Sites like Hims

According to Dr. Wasserbauer, Telehealth companies aggressively market hair-loss medications without a doctor who understands the patient’s specific needs. All patients should have their treatment plan specifically tailored to their goals. Finasteride (generic Propecia) is widely prescribed topically by these companies. Still, some formulations can have a higher systemic level than the oral form, leading to the exact side effects patients were hoping to avoid. Dr. Wasserbauer is one of the few MDs who can prescribe a compounded topical finasteride that stays on the scalp (XYON). Telehealth companies do not have to disclose side effects in their ads. Dr Wasserbauer is dedicated to helping her patients achieve their hair goals with medication, light therapy, energy-based devices like Alma TED, and hair transplant surgery.
