1. In my practice, I use a copper peptide shampoo for the first week as an option for hair transplant patients. My practice and thoughts on copper peptides is not new or different. 2. It does not promote hair growth nor does it provide much soothing effect on itchy scalp. I do know that minoxidil […]

There was some push to use copper peptides in the hair restoration field, but there has been little proven in terms of value. That being said, there’s an interesting article about copper peptides from a couple years ago over at the Regrowhair.com blog.
In our experience and from what I know, copper peptide promotes wound healing, not hair growth.
That site suggests that if you have guinea pigs, pigs, rabbits, rats, dogs, and a few other mammals, that they can repair their tissues and possibly live longer. I am not sure that I want my 14 year old dog to outlive me, but perhaps that’s just me. I actually have used copper peptides to […]
Here is a press release for another magical cure (*cough*) for hair loss. Actually, they try to make this sound like some grand new discovery, but once you get to the last paragraph you realize they are just selling a shampoo called Follipro. I have used copper peptides in my practice for the impact on […]
It takes at least 2 years to maximize the value of finasteride. That may explain part of your experience with hair regrowth. Also, there are some reports that ketoconazole (Nizoral) may help with treating hair loss, but the studies are limited and I personally have not seen patient results to be convinced. If you’re seeing […]
Androgenic alopecia is a genetic trait and there are no drugs or potions that will stop it. Propecia and Rogaine seem to slow it down or sometimes reverse it for a few years (it buys you time), but you will continue to lose hair. In other words, there’s no cure. In your case, it is […]
Propecia will not benefit you if you have a slick bald area, but hair elsewhere in the thinning process may be helped. If you have not completed your balding pattern, Propecia may have value. I would have to examine you to know what benefits you may have, as the information you supplied is not adequate […]
It takes at least 2 years to maximize the value of finasteride. That may explain part of your experience with hair regrowth. Also, there are some reports that ketoconazole (Nizoral) may help with treating hair loss, but the studies are limited. If you’re seeing these treatments work, that’s great! There is been no proven benefits […]
Progaine is just a volumizing shampoo like any other volumizing shampoo. It does not grow hair. There were other formulations, but I believe they’ve been discontinued. I just did a quick search online and you’re right –only the volumizing shampoo seems to still be for sale. But… um… I must’ve had a temporary memory lapse […]
In those patients who have a tendency to become red (and hold on to the redness after a transplant), I treat them with a copper peptide treatment. This works to reduce the redness and shorten the ‘red’ time, but if not started immediately, it will not have value. The use of steroids are routine for […]
Because of the protective effect against shock hair loss, you should’ve been taking Propecia (finasteride 1mg) prior to the hair transplant surgery — so the question now is whether you started it early enough (best a few weeks before the procedure). Accelerated hair loss associated with a hair transplant is most probably caused by shock […]
I refer to the test as one used to discover a histamine positive skin type. The simple test is done by scratching the skin with a finger nail (for example) with moderate pressure, but not enough to cut into the skin. The skin will develop a red-streak within a minute surrounding the finger nail scratch. […]
I will answer your diverse questions in the order you wrote them: Yes, and it is a good method of revising scars of the scalp and can also be used for bad scars in donor area. Yes, GraftCyte contains copper peptide with a mild cleansing effect and we recommend using it for post operative patients […]
Nizoral contains a drug used to treat a variety of fungal infections of the scalp. So many people think that it is the magic shampoo for hair loss. If it is, there is far more fungal infections than I ever thought amongst the population. Many ingredients like copper peptides and saw palmetto claim DHT blocking […]
