Frequently Asked Questions

GLP-1 is a natural hormone made by our intestinal tract every time we eat.  It is deficient in obesity.  It decreases appetite and makes us feel full.  It helps your body burn rather than store fat by acting on the cells of your pancreas.  The GLP-1 agonists are given by once weekly injections.  Some sublingual formulations have shown effectiveness as well.  Results in some studies are very close to those of gastric sleeve and bariatric surgery.  No restrictive diets or intense exercise are required.

The light energy in laser caps helps revive the stem cells in your hair follicles.  Research shows they are effective, but patience is key.  It takes up to a year to see marked results.  When combined with a comprehensive program including prescription meds and supplements, they can have a yet stronger impact on a hair growth.  The more lasers or diodes in a cap the better and faster the results will be.  Not all laser caps are the same.  We use the CapillusRx since it is very easy to use.  It looks fashionable, and it only takes 6 minutes a day versus 30 minutes with other companies.  Moreover, research shows it works!

Close to half of all men age 50 will have some erectile dysfunction or ED.  We can now do something about it.  Most cases of ED are from not having adequate blood flow in the pelvis.  Luckily there are effective treatments for that.  PDE-5 inhibitors like tadalafil have changed the lives of millions around the globe!  Not everyone is a candidate- which is why a consultation with the doctor is important!

Trichogenics is well-known for its first-class hair transplantation results.  Dr Eric and Asi Peretz are some of the best and highly respected hair transplant surgeons in the world.  They relocated from South Africa to Istanbul to be at the forefront of cutting edge technology in hair restoration.  Turkey has claimed its rightful position as the world leader in hair transplantation.   The doctors at Trichogenics actually do the operation themselves using high-tech and advanced technology that is second to none.  Not only do we offer our patients the ability  to get a superior, higher level of care that would cost tens of thousands of dollars in the US- but the great thing is that all pre-operative and post-operative care is done by HIm and Hair right here in the US.  This makes the trip to Europe a true adventure since you really DO come back a different person!
