Women’s Hair Loss Breakthroughs: Red Light, FUE Brows/Beard, JAK Inhibitors & Vortiporfin (Dr. Melissa Toyos)
Women’s Hair Loss Breakthroughs: Red Light, FUE Brows/Beard, JAK Inhibitors & Vortiporfin (Dr. Melissa Toyos)Kellie Rhymes, a women’s hair loss support and authenticity coach, interviews Dr. Melissa Toyos, a board-certified ophthalmologist and partner at Toyos Clinic (Memphis, Nashville, New York City) who now focuses on hair restoration research and procedures. Toyos shares how treating NFL cheerleaders’ lash and hair-extension damage led her into hair science, noting major overlap with ophthalmology (anti-inflammatories, immunomodulators, prostaglandins like Latisse). They discuss how she selects among topicals, oral meds, lasers, PRP/injectables, and surgery based on patient lifestyle, plus why most care is cash pay, the role of genetic testing to predict responsiveness (minoxidil, finasteride, prostaglandins), and the need for thorough medical workups. She explains red-light device quality factors, technical precision in FUE for eyebrows/beards, and emerging innovations including JAK inhibitors and vortiporfin to reduce scarring and potentially regrow donor or scarred-area hair, with typical timelines and follow-up milestones.Links:Follow Dr. Melissa’s Blog on www.toyosclinic.com, Instagram at drmelissatoyos TikTok @drmelissatoyos.The Bougie Baldie TV Show Bald Confidence is officially out!
