Press & Media

Philippe Boissard, M.Sc., is a hair loss researcher and author. He covers the science of androgenetic alopecia and the treatments men actually weigh up, working from the primary literature rather than marketing claims. He writes at philippeb.pro and on YouTube as Philippe’s Blueprint.

He is available for expert commentary, background briefings, and fact-checking for journalists working on hair loss, skincare, and dermatology-adjacent stories.

Featured in

Man of Many, “The Modern Man’s Guide to Hair Loss Styling, Treatments and Going Bald With Grace” (June 2026). Quoted on the genetics of male pattern baldness: “Male pattern baldness is not a hygiene, hat, or stress problem. It is a genetic sensitivity to DHT, and the affected follicles are dormant rather than dead, which is exactly why acting early changes the outcome.”

Topics I can speak to

  • Androgenetic alopecia: how male and female pattern hair loss actually works
  • Finasteride and dutasteride: efficacy, side effects, and the evidence on safety
  • Minoxidil, oral versus topical, and why some men respond and others do not
  • Newer compounds: clascoterone (Breezula), pyrilutamide, RU58841, and the 2026 pipeline
  • Microneedling, PRP, low-level laser therapy, and other procedural options
  • Supplements, diet, and the gap between popular claims and the data
  • Hair transplants: when they make sense and what to ask

Background

Philippe holds an M.Sc. and is the author of several books on hair loss. His work is grounded in the primary research, with the limitations of each study stated plainly. He reads the actual papers, not the abstracts or the influencer recaps, and is comfortable explaining where the evidence is strong, where it is thin, and where the honest answer is that we do not yet know.

For journalists

I respond quickly to source requests and can provide written quotes, on-background explanations, or a short call. I am happy to fact-check a claim, sense-check a draft, or point you to the relevant studies. If you use a quote, a link back to philippeb.pro is appreciated.
