Cutasil

Dear Dr. Rassman,

I was wondering if you were aware of this product, Cutasil.

The website says it’s set to be marketed in a year, and that it heals scar wounds and restores the follicles. Could this have application to improving transplant procedures?

Thanks for your input

There are hundreds if not thousands of new products for treating hair loss all with the promise of growing follicles. Some include wound healing claims as well. I really do not know anything about this Cutasil product as it hasn’t been made available for testing or review and the link you sent has the only info I can find about it.

I appreciate you bringing it to my attention, but there are so many product announcements that ultimately go nowhere or can’t perform nearly as well as what is claimed. This one remains to be seen, but as skeptic I’m not going to hold my breath.

At this time there is no product that reverses or grows back hair that was lost from genetic causes or helps with the transplant process. Even if there was such a product, the most important part of a hair transplant surgery is the doctor, the staff, and the highly specialized techniques involved.
