Hi I'm Andrea and i'm from Italy. I'm 22 years I'm writing in this forum cause for us italians you americans are the best about health and you have you have much more advanced technology and knowledge of our. I describe my situation First Problem: from September to now I had a violent outburst of acne (cystic nodule) and so my dermatologist prescribed to me Roaccutane (isotretinoin) 30 mg everyday . Second Problem from a few years ago I'm noticing that my hair are becoming thinner . My dermatologist says that is normal but the difference between from a few years ago and now it's substancial !!! . I do not have holes in head and my dermatologist says that i have not ALOPECIA but I want to do something to make my hair stronger and more dense . So i read X5 hair laser and i think that could be ideal for me . I'm not pretend regrowth (cause i haven't this problem yet ) only that my hair become more dense and thick . So i Have three question for us : 1) The terapy of acne set by my dermatologist is correct for you ??? 2) X5 hair laser can solve my problem of hair ??? 3) Can i use X5 hair laser and Isotretinoin in the same period ??? Cause I read that isotretinoin produces photosensitivity and I would not suffer irritation or problems to the scalp. Thank you for the attention . I'm sorry for my bad english . I hope that you have understand my problems !!!

Hi! It is difficult to say whether hair laser technology will help you get back thick and bouncy hair because it is not an approved technology. To get thick hair you need to prevent hair fall. Iron deficiency is the commonest cause of hair loss. Iron deficiency can be due to poor intake or poor absorption or due to hidden loss from bleeding as is seen in UTI and gut problems like IBS. The cause of anemia has to be found out by various blood tests. Iron replacement along with diet rich in iron and hemoglobin should be given. Please consult a hematologist if iron deficiency is detected. Hair loss can also be due to dandruff dermatitis shampoos oils soaps dust and dirt etc. Thyroid disorders and diabetes too could be a cause. Insomnia stress and anxiety along with poor diet and excess of caffeine too can be the cause. Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having nor is a detailed history possible on net I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
