Peptides
Dr B -
What is your opinion on the use of topicals that use copper peptides........such as Tricomin or Folligen.
Do they have any benefit to hair losss or complete bunk...........thanks
It is my opinion that Copper-Peptides are excellent wound-healing agents. I use them routinely on EVERY patient post-operatively. I include them as a part of every hair transplant. However, I am not convinced they have an effect on hair growth. It is not impossible, but more studies are needed for me to recommend copper as a hair growth treatment.
As I always say, you've got to stick with the fda-approved treatments first (finasteride+minoxidil), then add the more long-shot treatments.
Are you already using Propecia and Minoxidil?
Sincerely,
Dr. B.
