Hello, I am a hair transplant patient. I had ~2300 FUE grafts done about a week ago. I love the Biotin spray, it’s helping the healing process along, but I have a few questions about it:
1) On my forehead and the scalp area outside of where the grafts are, the skin seems to be peeling slightly, as if after a sunburn. I’m assuming this is because the Biotin spray promotes shedding of dead skin? Just want to make sure this is normal.
2) After all of my scabs are gone, how long should I continue to use the Biotin spray? I have read that it helps with the redness and also makes the grafts more healthy, so continued use makes sense…I just don’t know for how long. And if so, I’m assuming I should decrease my usage from once an hour?
3) Does the biotin spray have any benefit for for other areas of my scalp where the hair is thinning, but did not receive any grafts, such as my crown?

We have noticed that Biotin spray can produce some skin peeling affects, as well. The skin peeling is really a form of a chemical peel. We first noticed that this occurs in some patients about 4 or 5 years ago. We found that the peeling left a younger, fresh layer of skin under the skin that peels. This is highly advantageous and something that many people pay thousands of dollars to achieve. You are getting younger skin at no additional cost. That is one of the advantages of Biotin spray. We were so excited about this that we made a version in a skin cream form that also helps to produce younger skin We never marketed it to the public, but many staff members have been very happy with this low cost, chemical peel that results in younger looking skin.

You may continue to use the Biotin spray until it is gone. It is very healthy for the grafts. We have not done any research into whether Biotin spray helps improve your thinning hair. We are precluded from discussing any affects on hair growth due to limitations imposed by the FDA. Therefore, there is no advantage to studying this.

I would like to know if your Haircycle shampoo is a good as Nizoral? Could you tell me if neosh101 will be available in 2008?, Do you know any news on avodart?

Nizoral and Haircycle shampoo are completely different just like Finasteride and Minoxidil are completely different. My method of treating Hair loss has always been to attack it from as many different pathways as possible. We know that Finasteride seems to reduce the production of DHT. We do not know how Minoxidil works or how Nizoral work.
We do know that Haircycle shampoo prolongs the anagen duration in many people. We do not know that it does this in all people. My recommendation in shampoos is that you use Nizoral twice a week and then Haircycle 5 days a week. Leave all your shampoos on for at least 5 minutes because they are topical agents and need contact with the skin to work.

There is no news on avodart. There are not likely to be phase 3 clinical trials
Neoshi101 is not likely to be released in the US any time soon.

You might be able to get your hands on this in by 2009. I doubt it will be available by 2008, but keep your fingers crossed. This product seems to increase the number of hairs in the Anagen phase. I suspect all the products seem to increase the total number of hairs in Anagen. I think that they simply work in different ways. Hairs are like people working in a factory that is in production 24 hours a day. Some of the people work while some of the people rest. Anagen stimulators keep hairs awake and growing. They are like having more people working 24 hour shifts for 7 straight days. We know that Finasteride really only works well on about 1% of the people. It seems to slow hair loss down in about 80%, but it does nothing for at least 10% of the people. This means that androgenic alopecia has multiple causes. It makes sense to treat your hair loss from as many angles as possible until we come up with a safe solution that works equally well in all individuals.
