How to Reverse Hair Loss with Stem Cells and PRP | TUH #045

About this video

Brecka reviews hair loss causes and options, attributing androgenic alopecia mainly to DHT and genetics, with contributions he cites from stress, pollutants and nutrient deficiencies. He expresses a preference for topical over systemic approaches, claiming oral finasteride-type drugs carry sexual and mood side effects, and discusses red light therapy, platelet-rich plasma, topical exosomes, and Dr. Chesnut’s approach of placing a patient’s own fat-derived stem cells under the scalp. He also mentions saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil as studied natural options and advises consulting a specialist.

Key takeaways

• Brecka attributes pattern hair loss primarily to DHT acting on genetically sensitive follicles
• He claims systemic DHT-blocking drugs raise risks of sexual dysfunction and low libido
• Brecka presents PRP as concentrating the body’s own growth factors in the scalp
• He describes fat transfer as a way to restore the fatty layer follicles sit in, per Dr. Chesnut
