Modern FUE is the hair restoration gold standard
“Modern FUE, which is called Follicular Unit Extraction, is the gold standard for a re-seeding hairline. That involves taking individual hair follicles from a donor area... and the result can be pretty undetectable with Follicular Unit Extraction. It is only moving existing follicles from an area of your body. It can be the back of your head, for example, to the thinning areas.”

Address underlying inflammation to maintain hair transplants
“It does not stop the progressive loss of your native hair. Meaning that if you have a lifestyle that's full of, let's say, inflammation, poor blood flow to the scalp, poor genetics... all of that will continue to occur, even if you get a hair transplantation. If you don't address the underlying cause of hair loss after a transplant, you'll continue losing the hair that wasn't transplanted and eventually look pretty patchy again.”

GHK copper peptide stimulates new follicle growth
“GHK copper peptide, abbreviated GHKCU... works through three mechanisms. It stimulates what are called fibroblasts, which is the growth of new cells. It promotes new blood vessel formation so hair follicles receive necessary nutrients. And then it inhibits something called TGF beta to prevent follicles from prematurely shrinking. It also supports what are called dermal papilla cells to stimulate hair growth.”

Stem cells and exosomes offer hair regeneration
“They have in the past several weeks, actually, fresh leading into this podcast, developed an aesthetic line, meaning they've taken Mew cells, which are specialized regenerative cells that are well recognized for their inherent renewal capacity in exosomes, which serve as extracellular messengers to support better cell communication. You can use these cells in combination with exosomes for halting hair regression and actually encouraging the growth or the generation of new follicles.”

Scalp micro-needling enhances topical peptide absorption
“Typically, what you would do is you would aggravate the scalp. This would be using something like micro-needling. Dermarolling would be another option. And then you apply and rub in GHK copper peptide. It's not hard to get your hands on GHK copper peptide... it is very small, I think it's about 50 daltons in size. So as a peptide, it's small enough to be absorbed transdermally.”
