Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring hair loss condition that can permanently damage hair follicles, often affecting the hairline and eyebrows. So how can it be recognized, and what can be done to slow its progression?

On this episode of The Hair Doctors, Dr. Ross Kopelman speaks with Dr. David Saceda, a dermatologist and researcher from Madrid, Spain, about diagnosing FFA, understanding its potential triggers, and choosing appropriate treatments.

They discuss the possible roles of hormones, genetics, sunscreen, and cosmetic ingredients, along with how trichoscopy helps clinicians assess the condition. Dr. Saceda also explains treatment strategies, why stopping progression is a key measure of success, and the considerations and limitations of hair transplantation for patients with FFA.

A valuable conversation for anyone seeking a better understanding of this complex condition and the importance of realistic expectations in hair restoration.

How many hair transplants can you actually have in your lifetime? Dr. Ross Kopelman sits down with fellow hair transplant surgeon Dr. Blake Bloxham to break down one of the most common questions patients have about hair restoration.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is one of the most misunderstood tools in hair restoration. I sat down with SMP expert Matthew Lulo to break down who is truly a good candidate, why skin health matters so much, and when conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis may be red flags if not properly evaluated.

We cover where SMP fits into the overall hair loss treatment landscape including Norwood 5–7 hair loss, post-transplant density enhancement, female thinning, and even beard and eyebrow SMP. We also discuss how skin type affects pigment retention, why darker skin tones often hold SMP longer, and why beard SMP typically requires more frequent touch-ups.

This is essential listening for patients considering SMP, transplant patients looking to enhance density, and providers who want to understand the medical and technical standards needed for safe, natural, long-lasting results.

In this episode, I sit down with my colleague and close friend Dr. Osei Tutu to discuss why hair loss in Black men and women often presents differently in patients with Afro-textured hair, with a focus on inflammatory and scarring conditions that are frequently underdiagnosed.

We cover conditions like CCCA, lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and traction alopecia, why proper medical evaluation is critical before considering hair transplantation, and the unique challenges of treating and transplanting Afro-textured hair. This conversation is meant to give Black patients clear, realistic guidance rooted in accurate diagnosis and long-term planning rather than assumptions.
