QUESTION: Can I use my family members as donors? What are the options if I do not want to lose hair in the donor area of my head? I am a 52-year-old female with overall thinning and definite thinning on the top of my head. I am ready to proceed with a resolution and am exploring all possible solutions. Thank you for any help
ANSWER: Hi Teresa, There have been attempts to use other family members to donate hair, but all have failed except when the genetic match is identical (as with twins).
