Medical treatment

Q: There is currently a hair growth treatment that is being offered for people who suffer from serious hair loss. 

In the treatment, blood cells are taken from a person with healthy hair (not your blood cells but from someone else). These cells are then genetically modified in a lab and mixed with a serum which is applied onto your head. They then do micro needling which allows the serum to get into your scalp. 

During the process of the treatment, you are also required to use a minoxidil spray every night. 

Is the above treatment permissible to use?

Q: Could you kindly advise regarding the dental use of dried freezed bone.

The bone is derived from a bone bank based in Cape Town. According to the bone bank, bone is derived from people who donate their bodies to science. The bone is then vigorously sterilized under UV light and crushed to form granules. When a surgeon is placing dental implants, any bone defects around the implants are filled with the granules and the patients blood. The granules act as a scaffold for the patient’s own bone to regrow.

Once the patient's own bone has grown the granules get replaced with the patients bone. There is a synthetic bone but the results are not predictable. Animal bone results are worst. Dental implants serve both function and aesthetics.
