Six months ago, I injected VEGF gene therapy into one half of my scalp and a placebo into the other. But the goal was more ambitious than simply outperforming the control. Across my entire scalp, I was using what I considered the best available hair-growth protocol: minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, red light, and additional treatments. Gene therapy had to deliver on top of that combination, not replace it. Six months later, across two areas without hair transplants, hair density on the VEGF-treated side was, on average, 20% higher than the control, with 62% of hairs in the growth phase versus 50%. At the back of my scalp, average hair diameter increased by 12%, while it decreased by 9% on the control side. This is a one-person experiment, and the findings need to be confirmed on a bigger population. But for me, it’s a breakthrough. That’s what REAL biohacking and gene therapy are about: taking the best of what’s available—and trying to go beyond it. Not just repeating what’s already been achieved, but expanding human potential.
