Protecting your result
Replace what you lost. Protect what you keep.
A hair transplant gives you back the hair you lost. But the hair you still have is on its own clock — and DHT keeps working on it. If you want the thickest, most natural result years from now, you protect that hair too. Here's why, and the simple way patients do it.
Why this matters
Your transplanted hair is permanent. The rest isn't — yet.
Here's something a lot of guys don't hear until after surgery. The grafts Dr. Khorsandi moves come from the back and sides of your head — the donor area — and that hair is naturally resistant to DHT, the hormone behind pattern hair loss. That's why a transplant lasts: those follicles keep growing for life, right where we put them.
But the native hair around them — the hair you were born with up top — doesn't have that protection. If you have pattern loss and you don't do anything about the DHT, that hair keeps thinning. So a year or two down the road, the transplant looks exactly as planted, but the area around it has quietly gotten thinner. The grafts didn't fail. The hair next to them did.
That's the whole game: replace what you lost with a transplant, and protect what you still have by blocking DHT. Do both and the result stays full and natural. Best of all is starting DHT protection before or around the time of surgery, so you're holding your ground from day one instead of playing catch-up.

Straight from the founder
The surgeon who built it, in his own words
Dr. Dan McGrath is a hair-restoration surgeon — and the man who created LockLab. In this short clip he explains the thinking behind it: for years, guys pieced together a finasteride spray and Rogaine on their own and never really got anywhere, so he put the medicine into a single daily pill. Taken orally, it does what a topical can't.
What stays with us is how he closes it — he'll tell you straight when someone doesn't need surgery. That's the same standard we hold, and it's a big part of why he's who we point you to for protecting the hair you've got.
The simple way to do it
What LockLab is
Blocking DHT used to mean juggling a few different products. LockLab put it into one daily pill — DHT-blocking medication to hold the line, a regrowth ingredient to thicken what's there, and a hair nutrient, all compounded together. One pill, once a day.
It's all done online. You fill out a short health questionnaire, a licensed provider reviews it, and if it's a fit, your prescription is compounded and shipped to your door — free, around $35 a month. No waiting room, no pharmacy run.
Done the right way
It's real medicine, so it's handled like it
This is prescription treatment, and that's a good thing — it means a licensed provider looks at your health history before anything ships, and you've got a doctor on the other end if you have questions. If you already have a primary-care doctor you see, loop them in too; they know your full picture and it's worth the conversation.
And if your questions are about the transplant itself — whether you're a candidate, what your hairline could look like, how the donor area holds up — that's us. Text Lee at 702-994-2133 and Dr. Khorsandi will give you a straight read.
