Now owner of My Hair MD in San Diego and building a telehealth longevity platform focused on hormone optimization, weight loss, and personalized wellness. ✂️ How a hair transplant works FUE method: follicles are individually extracted from the DHT-resistant donor zone (back of the head). A 3,000–3,500 graft procedure involves 10,500+ steps over 6–8 hours. Grafts are sorted by size heavy grafts go to the back, singles go up front for a natural hairline. Those donor follicles do NOT grow back you have a finite supply (6,000–10,000 max). 🎨 The art of a natural result Hairlines are drawn jagged on purpose. Single hairs line the very front, temples are always filled in, and age-appropriate design matters. Artistry makes all the difference. 💉 Peptides & hair recovery Will used BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu shampoo post-transplant. BPC-157 and TB-500 support angiogenesis and blood flow to follicles. GHK-Cu supports collagen production and scalp stabilization. Will's results were fast with minimal shedding. PRP and laser light therapy are also available at My Hair MD. 💊 Medications that protect your transplant Dutasteride blocks DHT (which miniaturizes and kills follicles). Minoxidil increases blood flow to support graft survival. Both are commonly used alongside transplants. 💡 Pricing FUE: ~$3.50/graft | FUT strip: ~$3.00/graft. All-inclusive, no hidden fees, financing available. Online consultations offered.

His take: medicine is not one-size-fits-all, and the patient-physician relationship needs to come back. 🧠 Real talk on peptides Peptides are chains of amino acids with a remarkably low risk profile compared to many pharmaceuticals. FDA classifications are shifting, research is coming, and early adopters are already seeing results.
