Can you take hair from other parts of my body to do the hair transplant?

Short answer… yes

Should you? Probably not

Our patient had a FUT hair transplant surgery with 2,000 graphs in 2015. 11 years later, our happy patient scheduled another surgery with Dr. McAndrews in 2026.

This video shows the original inconspicuous fine linear donor area scar (from 2015) that Dr. McAndrews masterfully & artistically created.

The fine FUT line is still almost barely distinguishable 11 years later.

Is there a peptide that reverses hair loss and produces thicker & longer hair?
The answer is “hopefully, but not yet.”

No peptides are FDA-approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss). To be FDA-approved for hair loss, a manufacturer must fund multi-phase human clinical trials to prove it’s both safe and more effective than a placebo.

PP405 does show early results for Androgenetic Alopecia. This emerging peptide is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials, but remains years away from potential FDA approval.

Unfortunately there are lots of snake-oil products and witch-doctors making false claims with bogus products (sold over the counter as cosmetic ingredients).

Peptides will play a huge part in the treatment & preventative of human disease and aging in the near future. But it takes time & patience to do the proper medical research.

TH07 topical spray is an experimental hair loss treatment presently in clinical studies. It’s comprised of a mixture of 3 different dissolved ingredients:

1. 5% minoxidil
(already FDA approved for Androgenetic Alopecia & can be acquired at any pharmacy without a prescription)

2. 0.1% finasteride
(already FDA approved orally in a 1-mg dose for Androgenetic Alopecia for men. Topical finasteride is already prescribed off-label.)

3. 0.03% latanoprost
(similar 0.03% bimatoprost already FDA approved for eyelash growth/thickness with Latisse)

All 3 of these ingredients have been shown in other studies to mildly stimulate the hair follicles to grow a little longer and thicker hair.

There may be a benefit to topical TH07, but it’s not a new wonder drug since they’re using products that are already on the market.

Dutasteride is FDA approved to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, and used off-label for hair loss.

It works by inhibiting Alpha-5 Reductase Type 2 and Type 1 enzymes, which inhibit the conversion of a patient’s testosterone into DHT.

Therefore, a patients testosterone level increases and their scalp DHT levels decrease by 90% when taking Dutasteride.

Dutasteride is an effective off-label hair loss treatment, as medical studies show significant improvements in hair count, diameter and density.
