learn Hair Transplant

What are the advantages of FUE hair transplant? FUE hair transplants offer faster recovery, minimal scarring, and natural-looking results.
What are the advantages of DHI hair transplantation? Clinics promote DHI for fast recovery, natural-looking results and minimal invasiveness; these are the sellers' claims, and DHI is still surgery with the usual risks of infection, scarring and poor graft growth.

learn Thymosin Beta 4

How is Thymosin Beta 4 typically incorporated into experimental or advanced hair growth products? Thymosin Beta 4 is not an ingredient in any approved or regulated hair-loss product — it is an unapproved research peptide (sold online as TB-500). Published hair studies are in rats and mice only, from one research group; there are no human trials, and the same literature reports it can promote tumour growth.

learn Exosomes

Do exosomes work for people with mild hair loss or only in advanced cases? There is no approved exosome treatment for hair loss and no controlled trial in either mild or advanced cases; the argument that early thinning would respond better is based on follicle biology, not on results.
