Summary
Dr. Reid Waldman, board-certified dermatologist and Founder & CEO of Veradermics , joins Janelle on That’s Derm Good! to talk about one of the most universal, and emotionally charged, topics in dermatology: hair loss. Dr. Waldman founded Veradermics after seeing countless patients devastated by hair thinning and frustrated with the lack of effective options. For decades, treatment for pattern hair loss has barely advanced, leaving millions feeling hopeless or misled by quick-fix products that rarely deliver visible results. In this episode, Dr. Waldman explains how his company is changing that narrative with a groundbreaking new treatment currently in late-stage clinical trials.

Listeners will also hear insights on how clinical trials are conducted, what makes this research so challenging, and why education and early intervention are crucial.
