Hair loss affects millions worldwide, leaving many seeking answers and solutions. Genetics often play a significant role in this phenomenon. Hair genome testing can help you learn more about your hair loss and what you can do about it. The Science of Genetic Predispositions for Hair Loss Hair loss, or alopecia, can look different for different people. The most common type is when your hair falls out in a pattern (male or female pattern baldness). This type of hair loss has a lot to do with your genes. If your parents or relatives have hair loss, you are more likely to have it too. This is beca ..read more

There have been reports using Botox for hair loss but definitely not in the way that I have discovered, invented, and now have achieved a patent pending status with the U.S. Patent Office as of December 2023. Botox, unfortunately, has been negatively associated with toxicity, paralysis, and other unfavorable outcomes. However, I use a super diluted version in prescribed points on the back of the ears, sides of the nose, and top of the head that causes your hair to almost immediately stop falling out and to start growing. It can even change the texture and quality of your hair in a favorable wa ..read more

I know you’ve probably read an article or two in the past few months to years exclaiming the amazing breakthrough of hair cloning in a mouse or some other animal model. In fact, two to three times a year, a friend or patient will ask or send me some news clipping about this fact. Hair cloning, which is the technique of being able to take a hair and reproduce it so that we can have unlimited donor supply, is nothing new. In fact, it started out with some initial success as far as back as 1983. However, with a lot of work since then, especially by Aderans, the company that owns Bosley, the resea ..read more

We are in an epidemic of problems in the hair industry that I encounter almost every day and it has made me incredibly sad and upset. A huge part of who I am is the desire to combat social injustices, especially human trafficking and child abuse. I see today that we are sliding into an abyss where surgeons no longer play a role in the care of their patients but are sidelined as individuals who simply rubberstamp the process and are there to only “supervise” even though they have no idea about hair diseases, no idea about how to draw a hairline, how to harvest with FUE or strip, or how to make ..read more

I have seen simply tremendous and uniform results with my innovative hair stem therapy for both men and women who undergo this treatment. I have actually yet to see even a single failure minus one African-American woman who had traction alopecia, which is actually impossible to regrow hair and requires surgery, so I do not know how or why she actually had the procedure done. So what is it? I like to call it PRP 2.0. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, which usually involves drawing blood out, centrifuging the blood to extract the growth factors, and then reinjecting it back into the scalp. Th ..read more

I am proud to announce that my 9th hair transplant textbook, Hair Transplant 101, was just released at the end of July 2023 by the amazing publisher Quality Medical Publishing (QMP). This new book follows on the heels of my last textbook that came out April 2022, which is the world’s largest and most encyclopedic reference textbook on follicular unit excision (FUE) and was published by Jaypee Brothers. The reason that I was crazy enough to write a new textbook is that in May of last year I approached Andrew Berger from QMP to see if he could help promote my book from Jaypee at the Miami spring ..read more

Dr. Lam was recently honored for being one of the best doctors in Dallas by D Magazine in the 2023 edition. He was voted by his peers and he has never solicited votes on his own behalf. This is an unpaid honor ..read more

  Full Audio Transcript: I posted a photo of hair stem and I had a gentleman ask, what are you doing with this? I decided, well, I’m gonna do a podcast on this to explain a little bit more in detail the evolution of my thinking of how we developed this process and what we’re achieving with it. So, essentially, I haven’t been as excited with PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma, which basically, for those that don’t know what it is, you draw blood out of the body, spin it down, ultra refine it, and then inject it back into the scalp. Now, I do use PRP with every single hair transplant procedure. I ..read more

This podcast is on the hair genome test that I’ve been doing now and I really do like it and also I don’t like it. There is a role for it and I try to use it in a way that would be helpful for my patients. So, what this test involves is a questionnaire as well as a buccal swab. So a buccal swab is basically a Q-tip placed inside your mouth and it swabs the inner part of your mouth. It’s sent out for analysis with a response in about three weeks, and it’s a very detailed analysis of everything that we need to know about your situation with sensitivity to different types of medical therapies.
