Dear Friend,

Hello. My name is Julian Phillips. Some friends and I started StemCellBaldnessCures.com back in 2008 when the first news reports appeared about new stem cell treatments for hair loss (see the video above).

At the time, it seemed as though the scientists were on the brink of a “cure” for baldness. Since then, we’ve learned that, while the initial research that gave rise to those reports was real and truly revolutionary, the way to a practical, commercial treatment is littered with obstacles.

One of the companies that started the research into stem cell treatments for hair loss, Intercytex, went out of business two years later… and another, Histogen, has been involved in court disputes over its technologies that have dragged on for years.

Yet the research is continuing… and is FINALLY beginning to bear fruit.

One of the companies that has been involved in stem cell research for hair loss is Aderans Research, and it is currently deep in its Phase II clinical trials for its new hair cloning technology that, if it works, could result in virtually limitless amounts of donor hair follicles being available for patients.

This website is dedicated to tracking these developments — and other new technologies and treatments for slowing and reversing hair loss in both men and women.

Wound healing and hair cloning

Dutch researcher and hair restoration expert Dr. Coen Gho has been publicizing an innovative experimental treatment for hair loss for many years through his Hair Science Institute, which operates clinics in Amsterdam, Maastricht, London and Vienna. His hair loss treatment, he says, is a patented hair multiplication technique developed by the Hair Science Institute and used exclusively in its clinics. It involves the transplantation of a new hair substitute created from the genetic material of existing human hair. According to Dr. Gho’s website “only a part of the follicle (a few hair stem cells, also called a ‘graft’)” are extracted from donor sites and used in the process. More traditional methods of hair transplant involve extraction of entire hair follicles. The follicles are removed or harvested and then relocated to the balding area, where those follicles can be stimulated to produce new growth of hair. According to Dr. Gho, because his procedure uses on a portion of an existing hair follicle, and not the entire hair follicle itself, his procedure has the advantage of being able to transplant more hairs than could be accomplished when those hairs and follicles must be removed from another site on the body.

As a result, Dr. Gho claims to manufacture hundreds of new hair substitutes for use in a type of hair transplant operation using a single existing hair, thus eliminating the need to harvest hairs from donor sites. The availability of more hair substitutes with which to transplant may, in turn, make the hair transplant procedure itself more available to more clients. Many men facing male pattern baldness are waiting anxiously for the release of the approved new process, although some hitches in technical research have delayed the release and availability of this newest procedure.


Dr. Gho’s treatment for hair has been criticized by some in the hair transplant community — for example, by Dr. William Rassman.

Thus Dr. Gho’s currently available procedure, referred to as Hair Stem cell Transplant, or HST, combines elements of hair transplant and hair multiplication. The limitations of HST, according to Dr. Gho, have to do with the number of follicles (approximately six hundred) that can be trans-located during a single procedure. With such a small number per procedure, the restoration of an entire bald scalp would take a great deal of time and expense. Having said that, the procedure’s supposed advantages include the fact that HST results in the least scarring or surgical soreness of any method available, and the assertion by Dr. Gho that nearly four fifths of the donated hairs regrow and can be reharvested for later procedures. If nothing else, Dr. Gho’s advancements offer hope in the arena of hair replacement, with the knowledge that new approaches and new technologies are being tested and tried with some success.

More traditional hair transplants are limited in scope by the limitations of donor sites; Dr. Gho’s innovative approach promises to circumvent that limitation, opening new possibilities for sufferers of male pattern baldness.

Unlike neogenesis, a process which creates entirely new hair follicles in the scalp, Dr. Gho’s procedure may have the potential to stimulate the shedding follicles to regenerate and reinvigorate the growth of natural hairs.

For the first time, German scientists have used human adult stem cells to develop hair follicles in a laboratory, from which hair then grows naturally. The Berlin Technical University researchers, who have taken part in the advanced stem cell research, believe that they may have the ability to transcend the barrier between animal and human hair follicle growth from stem cells within a year. The treatment provides new hope for people suffering from hair loss. Only a few hair follicles would need to be taken from the”patient” and used to generate as much new hair as is needed, which can then be grafted. This breakthrough has also brought the scientists a big step closer to their original research goal, which was to use lab-generated hair follicles on a chip as a substitute for animal experiments in testing creams and cosmetics. Many substances in the creams we use actually enter the body through our hair follicles rather than our skin.

Thankfully, you do not have to just suffer through it. There are many products out there that can help reduce the effects of slow hair growth, and actually make your hair grow faster. With most of these products, you will see the best results when you catch it early on. However, results can be had even if you have been experiencing slow hair growth for some time. It may just take longer to see results in those cases. Be patient, and you will see results once you find the right treatment for you. Not every treatment works for everyone, but the following list of treatment products should get you started in the right direction.

One of the treatment options you have available to you is the natural herbal treatments. There are many of these out there. InHairIt is one of these products. It can be found at InHairIt.com. Another of these products is Hair Formula 37. Verseo.com also offers an herbal shampoo and conditioner that claims to increase hair growth by 123 percent within twenty eight days. Most of these herbal products have similar ingredients, such as saw palmetto. These products have been shown to help some people with slow hair growth.


There are also chemical and medical treatments that can help you combat slow hair growth. The Bosley system consists of medical treatments that stimulate the hair follicles and increase hair growth. You can learn more about Bosley and get information about doctors in your area that provide the service at Bosley.com.

Whether you go for the natural or chemical route, there are many options for stopping slow hair growth. In some cases the ingredients lists are so close that the only difference is in the price you pay for the product. Shop around and make sure you are getting the best possible deal for the treatment type you are interested in.

Thus far, the injection treatment has only been tested on lab mice. That is an important distinction to remember. The FDA admits that approval for actual human testing for the purpose of using this compound as a hair loss and regrowth product may be 5 to 10 years away.

It was these same researchers at UCLA that discovered the effects of antihypertensive medications on mice prior to its approval by the FDA. If the rate of growth detected in mice during the earlier study and in humans holds true, the preliminary results of Astressin-B in mice could signal a huge break through in the treatment for hair loss in women and men.


What interested the scientists most was how few treatments for hair loss and regrowth were needed and how long the treatments lasted. They injected mice with the chemical compound once a day for five days. They set them aside for three months speculating that this would be sufficient time to notice any change in the brain-gut interaction and what changes may have taken place. This is when they discovered that the bald mice had regrown all their hair. Additionally, the treatment was not needed again for four months.

There are currently topical creams on the market that have Astressin-B included in their ingredients. It has come to the attention of some medical specialists and the researchers, that some people are injecting these topical medications. The researchers have issued repeated warnings that these creams and ointments contain other chemical compounds that are designed to interact as a topical application. When hair products are not used as directed, they may be dangerous.

The research on Astressin-B is encouraging for all those with stress related hair loss and regrowth hopes. This blocker is not a stem cell product. This means that approval from the FDA may arrive more quickly since the hoops are not so many.

When you have hair loss, you want someone to talk to who understands what you are going through. You can learn a lot from other people who have been there and done that. In addition, it helps to vent your feelings and frustrations to people who understand them. This is why there are so many hair loss talk websites. These websites were designed for people just like you.
There are many hair loss talk websites out there, but not all of them are created equally.

Hair loss in aging men and women is characterized by these “damaged hair follicles.” Normal hair growth depends on a cycle in which periodic regeneration of the underlying hair follicle occurs through a process directed by stem cells.

Within the follicle, normal stem cell function is essential for hair follicle regrowth. What has been discovered in just the past few years, through studies of wound healing in burn victims and other patients, is that it is possible to actually grow new hair follicles and, as a result, new hair. The formation of new follicles and hair growth was shown to be associated with a cascade of cellular and biochemical events during the wound healing process.


By studying wound healing at the cellular and molecular levels, the skin was observed to have the ability to revert to a more primitive or “embryonic” state as progenitor cells “migrate” to the wounded area, restoring the regenerative capacity of the skin not previously thought to occur in adults.

The regenerative response includes new hair follicle formation, allowing new hair to grow at the restored site.

A major part of the wound healing cascade is the release of growth factors and cytokines from stem cells into the layers of the scalp at the site of the wound. These growth factors and cytokines function like a light switch, turning on lost or decreased function of the hair follicle.

Although dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is only one factor, and a minor one, in causing the unhealthy minaturization of the follicle in male pattern baldness process, it has received much attention. Several products are now on the market that attempt to restore hair growth based on interacting with the DHT pathway. These DHT specific products have demonstrated limited efficacy in growing new hair yet can show debilitating side-effects, including sexual dysfunction.

Based on the similar etiologies of male pattern baldness through DHT, it was thought that naturally occurring growth factors may also benefit the treatment of hair loss through the DHT pathway, but without the side-effects seen with other products. More importantly, the direct effects of topically applied cytokines and growth factors to the hair follicle restores the normal physiology and anatomy of the hair follicle and is the critical factor in restoring hair growth.

Below is the first example of a placebo-controlled, double-blind study undertaken to examine the benefit of these naturally occurring growth factors in the treatment of hair loss.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to test naturally occurring growth factors in the treatment of AGA.

Subjects included in this study were males between the ages of 25 and 65 years of age, in good health, with mild to moderate AGA.

Results: The results of this study showed a highly positive response to treatment. The blinded investigative staff assessment report showed that over 90% of study subjects dosed with the active study formulation were rated as improved at the final visit. Patient self-assessment demonstrated that 94% of the patients saw significant improvement in hair growth and prevention of hair loss.

Conclusions: This study establishes the effectiveness of naturally occurring growth factors for the first time in the treatment of hair loss. Growth factor technology has been used to generate completely new hair follicles for the first time in normal adult males. The researchers were able to induce the regenerative response, including new hair follicle formation, by applying a combination of factors to the scalp. This work showed that the application of these growth factors resulted in skin triggered molecular pathways, allowing a new topical treatment option for re-growing hair.

Caution: the application of any artificially created or synthesized signaling molecule is discouraged for two reasons; they lack potency and they may cause unnecessary secondary side effects. A good rule of thumb is to stay as natural as possible.

The Vancouver-based biotech company RepliCel Life Sciences is forging ahead with its clinical trials for hair regeneration therapies. The company was established on the research foundations of two scientists, Kevin McElwee and Rolf Hoffmann, who have done pioneering research into what are called dermal sheath cup cells. These cells are located in hair follicles and contain stem cell-like characteristics that, the scientists believe, have the potential to stimulate regrowth of non-producing hair follicles or regeneration of existing ones.

The company is pushing ahead with its research despite increasing public skepticism that cellular regeneration of hair follicles will ever be a reality. Men and women who suffer from hair loss have been following the promise of hair cloning or hair regeneration for years now, with researchers always promising that each breakthrough will lead to a viable treatment soon. After the demise of the British company Intercytex, the hair loss community put its hopes in Follica, Histogen, Aderans and other companies promising a stem cell based approach to treating hair loss… all, so far, to no avail. The cynicism and bitterness among hair loss sufferers is reflected in the many hair loss websites in which every new treatment proposal is routinely derided as a “scam.” To date, the research that appears to be farthest along is that of Aderans, which recently enrolled its 300th subject in Phase 2 of its clinical trial of its Ji Gami™ process. According to the company, the treatment involves removing a small piece of tissue from a subject’s neckline. Hair follicle cells are then cultivated in controlled conditions where they are encouraged to multiply by the addition of proprietary growth media. When enough new cells are formed, they are returned to the scalp, where they are injected and elicit new hair growth and thickness, ultimately producing more hair than the client had before. The goal is to create a virtually limitless supply of new hair follicle cells that can be used for extensive hair transplantation.


It is into this murky research bog that RepliCel has launched itself. The company’s proposed solution sounds remarkably similar to that of Aderans. “A small biopsy is taken from the lower back area of a person’s scalp since these hair follicles are immune to androgen hormones in men, and through that, about 20 to 25 hair follicles are extracted,” explains one website. “The dermal sheath cup cells are then isolated from the hair follicles and replicated in a proprietary blend of culture media for as long as three months. The cells are then re-injected into balding areas on the patient’s scalp, and the procedure is essentially complete.”

In August, the company injected the final participant (9 women and 10 men) in its first Phase I clinical trial being conducted, strangely, in Tsibli, Georgia. If the trial is successful and RepliCel proves “efficacy” and safety by as early as March 2012, the company can then proceed to a Phase II clinical trial. The procedure produced an efficacy rate of 50% in mice and hopes to achieve an efficacy rate of 20% in people.

“The hypothesis for humans, which we’re now testing in Phase I, is that isolating and replicating autologous dermal sheath cup cells and then injecting them back into the patient will lead to not just follicular hair growth, but the rejuvenation of the existing quiescent hair follicles that have been miniaturized and essentially stopped cycling due to the androgens overwhelming the receptors on those cells,” explains CEO David Hall. “That’s what we’re trying to achieve.”

In the meantime, bald men and women who suffer from thinning hair wait… and wait… and wait.

We try to tell people that the research is exciting and new and continuing apace… that there are four or five major research efforts going on and that a major breakthrough in hair loss treatment may be only a few years away… but few people believe us.

Still, there is a very good reason for optimism: greed. Hall estimates that the overall hair loss treatment industry is worth about $2 billion, with micro-transplants accounting for over $1.2 billion and hair loss drugs accounting for about $1 billion. T”here hasn’t been a drug proven to effectively treat female pattern baldness, and Hall says women don’t typically elect to undergo hair transplant surgery,” notes Equities.com in its note on the company. “This translates into a significant opportunity for a safe, minimally invasive treatment to serve this unmet market. Given that RepliCel’s autologous cell-based procedure is designed to be a one-time treatment that requires very little involvement from the actual patient, it could be a much more attractive option than what is currently available.”

On November 30, the company announced that it would convert all 13 million shares of Class C stock into 2.6 million shares of common stock. All told, this will bring the total shares of common stock in RepliCel up to 43,150,006 shares, currently selling for $2.55 per share.

One of the primary ingredients in both ReGenrXx Hair Serum 90 and Luminessce Anti-Aging Serum is “Adipose Derived Stem Cells Conditioned Medium (ADSC-CM)”. This potent ingredient stimulates both collagen synthesis and migration of fibroblasts, and accelerates wound healing. Adipose derived stem cells are captured by extracting fat cells from human adults. In conditioned medium, the stem cells secrete growth factors (today there are 378 known growth factors that have been identified). Two major benefits of these growth factors contribute to both anti-aging and hair growth enhancement.

Visible aging of the skin occurs when collagen is diminished. However, collagen applied to the skin cannot penetrate the skin due to its molecular size ( they are too big to pass through the skin) and therefore can yield no beneficial outcome to slow or stop the aging process. Insulting the skin can and does increase collagen production as observed in deep phenol peels. However, growth factors formulated in cosmetic products are so small that in conjunction with “Penetration Plus Technology” they can penetrate through the outer layer of the skin and as signaling molecules they indirectly influence the growth or stimulation of collagen in the skin, potentially slowing, halting or even reversing the aging process.


In hair enhancement, the ability to influence fibroblast migration enables the release of more cytokines and growth factors in the scalp that act to wake up dormant stem cells in the hair follicles. These two major discoveries promise ongoing skin and scalp enhancement that may stop the aging and/or hair loss processes. Additionally, ADSC-CM shows promise for the treatment of cutaneous wounds and accelerates granulation formation during the healing process.

CyGenX captures these potent growth factors from the conditioned medium in their natural form without any alterations and formulates them in potent concentrations in all CygenX cosmetic products.
In my next article I will address why the introduction of these growth factors to the skin (the perfect human bio-reactor) via the CyGenX skin and hair serums, amplifies the potency and efficacy of these products yielding unmatched outcomes.

Signaling molecules, sometimes referred to as growth factors, are natural and naturally occurring secretions from stem cells that are assigned this communication task to stimulate the development and function of the progenitor cells that grow hair.

Many physicians and medical researchers agree that “potent” stem cells and their normal and normally secreted signaling molecules are the future of medicine. Many believe that this FUTURE is here TODAY. Many doctors and researchers also believe that stem cell derived growth factors and signaling molecules may hold the key to unlocking a permanent solution for hair growth and balding.

One of the recent discoveries that evolved from stem cell research is the isolation of powerful molecules that work like “light switches”. As these signaling molecules that are natural and naturally secreted from the stem cells come into proximity with “non” or “sub” functioning tissues and organs of the human body they “almost magically” repair the cells and tissues that were malfunctioning and restore them to their intended function.

New research has revealed that stem cells secrete a natural communicating or signaling molecule (BDNF) that improves synaptic communication. Now we know even more: for example, that there are more than 200 of these powerful molecules secreted by stem cells in the form of growth factors, cytokines and other communicating molecules, Wnt proteins, sonic hedgehogs, and so on, that perform similar functions in cells throughout the body.

These stem cell secretions that are “squirted” onto mal-functioning cells do so to heal the unhealthy cells and restore normal function. It appears not to be necessary, in most instances, to actually replace the cell.

Think for a moment about the complex organ of the hair follicle. It consists of many tissue types:  muscles, glands, skin (ectoderm and mesoderm), nerves, the hair bulb with stem cells. Each hair follicle is an organ and on the scalp there are hundreds of thousands of hair follicles.

When hair loss or balding occurs it is because this hair organ has been compromised. There are many reasons for this compromise but we will focus on one: the diminishing of the number of progenitor cells. Suffice it to say that the cause does not matter as much as the solution.

A study of stem cells has revealed something unheard of prior to knowledge of this advanced science. The body’s components have seemingly infinite abilities to heal all specialized cells in the body. When a tissue malfunction occurs, the medical physician performs a diagnosis and then prescribes a drug to combat that diagnosis. Sometimes this exercise results in the prescription of multiple different medical prescriptions because what one medicine relieves that medication can subsequently create new side effects that again may require yet another medical prescription and so on.

We tend to chase symptoms. The body focuses on solving the underlying problem. Stem cell researchers uncovered a small part of this big picture: that the natural secretions and naturally occurring secretions of stem cells can “squirt” the proper growth factor(s) in proper amounts to overcome and heal the tissue malfunction. If the researchers had waited to answer the question, “What caused this malfunction,” we would still be waiting for this valuable information. This does not mean to infer that the cause is not important. It is. However, it is not necessary to know the answer to that question in order to benefit from his discovery.

Stem cells are primitive cells that work like natural “little pharmacies” within the body that are standing by to heal the body’s damaged cells and tissues. These secretions are collected from Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (HFCM). These secretions are generally referred to as growth factors, but they are more. In reality they are signaling proteins that communicate to enhance or repair a damaged cell or combination of cells. (NOTE: Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (HFCM) is classified as a “0” risk as to safety in cosmeceuticals. This means that they are universally considered “safe” for human use.)

Hair growth is maintained through a process that includes stem cell regeneration of hair follicles. The hair cycle consists of three defined stages: growth (anagen), followed by regression (catagen) and rest (telogen). Growth of a new hair requires re-entry into the anagen phase, a process involving activation of multipotent stem cells in the hair bulge.  Activating signals originate from the dermal papilla, directing stem cells to regenerate the hair bulb, the structure from which a new hair will emerge. Multiple signaling pathways, including Wnts, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), and TGF-beta family members have been shown to promote anagen initiation. Gene’s interfere with this process and can result in premature balding. The external application of these signaling molecules from Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (HFCM) appear to reconnect the lost signaling capabilities restoring the health to the impotent hair follicle.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by the miniaturization of the hair follicles in susceptible individuals and occurs in a defined pattern on the scalp. Hair loss in aging men and women is characterized by these “damaged hair follicles.” Normal hair growth depends on the hair cycle where periodic regeneration of the hair follicle, occurs through a stem cell directed process. Within the follicle normal stem cell function is essential for hair follicle regeneration. In studies of wound healing in burn victims and other patients there were observed the formation of new hair follicles and associated new hair growth. The formation of new follicles and hair growth was shown to be associated with a cascade of cellular and biochemical events during the wound healing process.

By studying wound healing at the cellular and molecular levels, the skin was observed to have the ability to revert to a more primitive or “embryonic” state as progenitor cells migrate to the wounded area, restoring the regenerative capacity of the skin not previously thought to occur in adults. The regenerative response included new hair follicle formation, allowing new hair to grow at the restored site. A major part of the wound healing cascade is the release of growth factors and cytokines from stem cells into the layers of the scalp at the site of the wound. These growth factors and cytokines function like a light switch, turning on lost or decreased function of the hair follicle.

“If we can get these fat cells in the skin to talk to the dormant stem cells at the base of hair follicles, we might be able to get hair to grow again,”
– Dr. Valerie Horsley, Assistant Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University

We now know that the hair follicles in balding men and women are not “dead” but merely sleeping. What’s more, we’re beginning to discover how to wake them up — which, despite all the delays and frustration, means we really are getting closer to a realistic stem cell treatment for hair loss. The key may lie in our fat cells. Here’s the scoop.

Researchers at Yale University recently discovered that men with male pattern baldness still have the stem cells that are necessary for hair growth. The hair stem cells lie in their follicle roots, but the cells are dormant and can’t spur growth. The researchers also discovered that the hair follicle stem cells need signals from within the skin to grow hair. The question is, where do the signals come from?

The answer: special proteins (growth factors) from stell cells deep in the fatty layer of the skin. The Yale researchers have been able to use these special proteins like a chemical switch and “turn back on” the hair stem cells in mice.

“[The Yale team] said there was a four-fold increase in the number of “precursor” fat cells in the skin around a hair follicle when it started to grow.
They looked at defective mice, which could not produce these fat cells. Hair normally grows in cycles, but in the defective mice, the follicles had become trapped in the dormant phase of the cycle.
Scientists injected fat cells from healthy mice into the defective mice. Two weeks later, hair follicles had started to grow.”

The researchers also found that the “precursor fat cells” were producing a platelet-derived growth factor — at 100 times the level of surrounding cells — that appeared to be kick-starting the follicles to grow hair. Injecting the growth factor into the skin of defective mice could trigger hair growth in 86% of follicles.

Of course, the researchers still have to show that the cellular signaling involved in human baldness are the same as they are in mice. If they are, the findings could help scientists develop a new stem cell baldness treatment.

There are a handful of companies that are actively pursuing a commercial viable stem cell therapy for hair loss or at least a stem cell treatment for hair loss. In no particular order, here are the top seven:

1. Follica: Stem Cell Hair Regrowth. Co-founded by George Cotsarelis, M.D., chair of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Follica has found that hair follicle stem cells are preserved in bald scalp from men. These findings, based on studies of human cell samples from bald scalp and non-bald scalp, showed that bald areas had the same number of stem cells as normal scalp in the same person, but lacked a more mature cell type called a progenitor. These findings support Follica’s approach towards treating androgenetic alopecia, which targets activation of stem cells to induce hair follicle neogenesis (re-growth).

2. Histogen: Hair Treatments for Hair Loss. Histogen, Inc., a regenerative medicine company developing solutions based on the products of newborn cells grown under embryonic conditions, is in the midst of clinical trials of its Hair Stimulating Complex (HSC. Statistically significant new hair growth was seen in HSC-treated subjects at this follow-up time point, one year after their single treatment with HSC. They are currently testing the safety and efficacy of their HSC product as an injectable for hair growth.


3. Aderans: Combatting Hair Loss in Men. Aderans Research Institute (ARI) is currently in the middle of Phase II trials of its much-anticipated, much-delayed new cellular hair regeneration technology. The company hopes to “encourage” follicular cells to reproduce themselves via a method ARI calls the Ji Gami™ process, resulting in a virtually unlimited number of hair-generating cellular units produced. During this process, a small piece of tissue is removed from the neckline. Cells are cultivated in controlled conditions where they are encouraged to multiply by the addition of proprietary growth media.

4. RepliCel: Regrow Hair. The Vancouver-based biotech company RepliCel Life Sciences is forging ahead with its clinical trials for hair regeneration therapies. The company was established on the research foundations of two scientists, Kevin McElwee and Rolf Hoffmann, who have done pioneering research into what are called dermal sheath cup cells. These cells are located in hair follicles and contain stem cell-like characteristics that, the scientists believe, have the potential to stimulate regrowth of non-producing hair follicles or regeneration of existing ones. The company’s proposed solution sounds remarkably similar to that of Aderans. “A small biopsy is taken from the lower back area of a person’s scalp since these hair follicles are immune to androgen hormones in men, and through that, about 20 to 25 hair follicles are extracted,” explains one website. “The dermal sheath cup cells are then isolated from the hair follicles and replicated in a proprietary blend of culture media for as long as three months. The cells are then re-injected into balding areas on the patient’s scalp, and the procedure is essentially complete.”

5. CygenX Treatment for Hair. Cygenx is one of the few companies now actively marketing hair growth serums based on growth factors ethically derived from adult stem cells. The stem cell lines are placed in conditioned media where cytokines, complex proteins and growth factors are secreted in a cultured laboratory environment. The company insists that its Tri-Mix Blend of Conditioned Media is novel and CyGenX® products are the only products made with this proprietary blend and concentration of follicle stimulating and enhancing growth factors.

Quite simply, Hair Genesis is an all natural hair loss treatment program. It combines vitamins for hair growth, a shampoo, and a serum treatment to provide a whole performance hair growth treatment program. However, Hair Genesis is anything but simple.

In fact, it is a complex combination of five alpha-reductase inhibitors. These all-natural ingredients have been scientifically tested and proven to “assist” in the treatment of hair loss in men, and thinning hair in women. In fact, according to the company, Hair Genesis is allegedly the first and only natural hair loss treatment program to test positively in double blind, placebo controlled study and in other scientific clinical trials.

Although the patent is still pending on this hair loss treatment program, Hair Genesis is available through its own website as well as several others around the internet. It is relatively inexpensive when compared to other hair loss treatment solutions. In addition, Hair Genesis is all natural, without the chemicals that can be found in other products.


There are four products in the hair loss treatment program. The first is the oral soft gels, which contain vitamins for hair growth such as saw palmetto, grape seed oil, and green tea extract. The second product in the program is the topical serum, which contains a number of herbs, vitamins and acids that stimulate hair growth. Finally, the program contains a special shampoo and conditioner, which are also formulated to stimulate hair follicles, generating thicker, fuller hair.

Recently, Hair Genesis was featured in a study that was published in a peer reviewed magazine. The study showed that the program could potentially outperform single product treatments. The article found in the Evidence-Based Complimentary and Alternative Medicine publication also purported that Hair Genesis is validated as a naturally delivered hair loss treatment product. It pointed out that the research, conducted since 1995, has continuously validated the product and the latest version of the product, Hair Genesis Five, and is the most advanced combination of natural ingredients yet.

Many consumers prefer natural ingredients and believe natural products are preferable for the health of the patient. In addition, some people are attracted by the multi-modal approach that Hair Genesis takes — using a combination of vitamins, shampoos and serum. Finally, the people who prefer Hair Genesis do so because they believe it works — which isn’t the same thing as saying it works for everyone, however. The company says that while you may begin to see benefits and improvements quickly, full hair growth can take several months.

Replicel’s founders and researchers are from established universities in Canada and Germany and have studied immunology, hair biology and hair growth for more than two decades.

In 2000s, Dr. Kevin McElwee and Dr. Rolf Hoffman discovered that dermal sheath cup-derived stem cells could potentially induce the formation of new hair follicles in animals as well as better quality hair growth. A patent for this discovery was filed in 2003, and is accepted in Europe and Australia and is now pending in the Canada, Japan and the United States. Replicel’s current work involves translating this discovery into a permanent hair loss treatment, perhaps even a baldness cure. The procedure has been in the development phase for the past nine years.

This hair loss treatment works by using autologous cell implantation technology; dermal sheath cup cells from a patient’s own healthy hair follicles and are replicated into the millions over a three-month period. These cells are reintroduced into areas affected by hair loss and theoretically this should cause the development of new hair follicles.

Currently Replicel’s treatment can potentially be used as a baldness cure for both men and women, trauma induced hair loss, traction alopecia, chemotherapy induced hair loss, scarring alopecias, congenital alopecia and congenital hypotrichoses.


The hair loss treatment was first tested on mice and proved to be safe and effective. Human clinical trials are being carried out at the moment. The primary aim of these trials is to determine whether this treatment can provide a safe and reliable hair growth solution. The trials will be divided into two phases, the efficacy and safety of the treatment will be studied in the first phase and the second phase will involve a larger number of participants and the amount of dose will be manipulated.

If it is found to be effective and safe in the human trials, Replicel’s stem cell hair loss treatment may not only provide hope for those suffering from different types of balding, but it can also be very profitable. It being a non-invasive treatment and not involving any animal products will make it popular among people with different religious beliefs.

In conclusion, Replicel’s procedure as a permanent hair loss treatment does seem promising in the light of the research that has been carried out but more human clinical trials need to be carried out before a final verdict can be given.

What is PRP exactly? And how does it grow hair? And what does Acell Matristem have to do with all this? Well, those are all good questions.

Let’s start with Acell Matristem first. Accel Matristem is a Food and Drug Authority cleared extracelluar matrix (ECM), wound-healing powder from pig bladders developed by ACell Inc. It is used for tissue regeneration and the end result looks more like normal skin rather than a scar. In 2010, CNN reported that a woman in the United States managed to regrow her finger by using this particular treatment. Since then, ACell Matristem has gained a lot of popularity and many people have reportedly used it for tissue regeneration.

In recent years, scientists and researchers have started speculating whether ACell Matristem can be used to grow hair. Theoretically, it works by converting the site of injury into active progenitor cells. It also sets up non-cross linked temporary scaffolding for the tissue regeneration that mimics the surrounding damaged tissue. This scaffolding contains and slowly releases growth factors. The ACell also contains necessary materials for remodeling including Collagen 4.


Moreover, ECM has been shown to promote rapid tissue remodeling by promoting growth of new blood vessels and recruiting host-derived cells that lay down collagen and potentially promote the formation of hair. This results in quicker healing of wounds and less scarring.

Hair growth studies using ACell Matristem have been carried out and have shown increased hair density in participants. Although ACell Inc. did not originally create this treatment for hair growth; it seems to be useful in that aspect and definitely looks promising. According to Dr. Gary Hitzig, if ACell Matristem works as predicted the hair loss treatment industry may be changed forever.

However, like any other scientific research, ACell Matristem is not without critics. Dr. John Cole, a surgical hair treatment expert, critiqued that though there is evidence that ACell can regenerate hair in extraction sites, more work is necessary to ensure that this will always happen. Furthermore, there is no evidence regarding the ability of ACell to improve the growth of plucked hair or improving the growth of transplanted hair.

Overall, the usefulness of such a hair loss treatment cannot be denied but one must take into account that this particular treatment involves the use of healing powder that is obtained from pigs’ bladder and as a result certain religious factions may not support this treatment and will not be able to utilize it. Hence, this matter should be looked into. However, from a purely scientific point of view ACell Matristem is a great way for triggering new hair growth.

As for what is PRP, it stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — blood plasma that has been “enriched” with platelets and that contain several different growth factors and other cytokines that stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue. Some doctors claim that PRP can also stimulate additional hair growth when used in conjunction with hair transplant surgeries.

Most shampoos contain a combination of a surfactant and an antisurfactant, which act together to create the cleansing lather which most people associate with a good shampoo. The surfactant itself is a molecule that can “grab onto” water with one end and grease with the other, allowing grease and dirt to be rinsed away in water. The surfactant most commonly used in most shampoo brands is a compound called sodium lauryl sulfate, which for most people is a harmless substance, but which can cause skin irritation in some cases. Particularly for people with very sensitive scalps, and those who are experiencing hair loss, it might be advisable to switch to one of the many available varieties of shampoo which don’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate, and see if the switch seems to provide relief.

The truth about this compound, with regard to its effect on hair loss, is actually that opinions are divided and no one has been able to offer definitive proof either that sodium lauryl sulfate is or is not a contributing factor to hair loss. It is a fact that the compound is used in some laboratory environments specifically as an irritant in cases where responses to skin irritation are being measured in lab animals. Having said that, the levels of the compound being used in these cases are considerably more concentrated than what a person would find in any shampoo. The idea that irritation caused by sodium lauryl sulfate could contribute to balding is certainly a feasible one from a physiological standpoint. If hair follicles in the scalp are reacting to an irritation, they may shed hairs as part of that reaction, resulting in exacerbated hair loss and balding.


It is unlikely that any shampoo would be a primary cause of balding, but it could be an aggravating factor which could accelerate the loss of hair. A person who is experiencing hair loss–and who wishes to avoid any measures which might worsen the problem—would do well to switch to a sulfate free hair product or sulfate free shampoo which doesn’t include sodium lauryl sulfate among its ingredients. Many products now offer alternative ingredients which perform the surfactant function in place of sodium lauryl sulfate, so a person who may be oversensitive to the compound can find a substitute easily, and at little to no extra expense. It may be that the sodium lauryl sulfate hadn’t been contributing to hair loss at all, but a person can cover those bases without losing anything.

How to Hair Growth for 2012 can be outline in just 7 easy steps.

Step #1: Stop using shampoos with sulfates! Chemical additives in shampoos known as sulfates (sodium laureth sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate) are what cause the lather most people expect when they use shampoos. Sodium Lareth Sulfate (SLS) is a powerful degreaser that is also used to clean garage floors and car engines. Unfortunately, these chemicals tend to dry out your hair, strip it of its color and, worst of all, may damage delicate hair follicles in people with a genetic predisposition to hair loss. The evidence suggests that sulfates irritate the skin and should only be used sparingly and in small concentrations. The problem is, most people in developed countries wash their hair often and use copious amounts of shampoo. What sucks is that virtually 98% of all commercial shampoos use sulfates. The exception are shampoos designed specifically for people who have their hair dyed. Many brands imply that they are sulfate-free but are not. I personally like the Coloresse brand of volume shampoo “for fine, thin, color-treated hair.” Buy it or something like it. Throw all your other shampoos and conditioners in the garbage.

Step #2: Begin taking biotin and other hair vitamin immediately. Research suggests that the top vitamins for hair growth are Biotin, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Zinc Oxide and Pantothenic Acid. In otherwise healthy individuals, nutritional factors appear to play a role in people with persistent increased hair shedding. Hhe role of the essential amino acid, l-lysine in hair loss also appears to be important. Double-blind data confirm the findings of one study in women with increased hair shedding, where a significant proportion responded to l-lysine and iron supplements. Bottom line: Take a good general “hair and nail” vitamin supplement such as those available at Costco and many other discount pharmacies.


Step #3: Begin using a laser for hair growth. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is among the most exciting new options in the treatment of hair loss. European studies have shown that LLLT stops hair loss in 85% of cases and stimulates new hair growth in 55% of cases. As a result, in 2007 the FDA approves the use of LLLT as a treatment for hair loss. A 2009 study of the HairMax Lasercomb found significant improvements in overall hair regrowth were demonstrated in terms of patients’ subjective assessment after 26 weeks of using the product.

Step #4: Use a good anti-DHT topical agent for hair growth. DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, is believed by most experts to be one of the principal causes of hair loss. More precisely, doctors people that people who suffer hair loss may have a genetic hyper-sensitivity (a kind of allergy) to DHT that causes the minaturization of hair follicles that leads, eventually, to hair loss. One strategy for dealing with this problem (at least in men) is the use of an oral medicine that limits DHT throughout your entire system. However, this approach has drawbacks because there is some evidence that some men can experience negative side effects from many remedies, such as impotence. Another approach, therefore, is to use anti-DHT topical agents directly on the scalp… and this has shown some success.

Step #6: Consider using a dermaroller with a doctor’s supervision. A doctor’s supervision is required because of the possible risk of infection in the scalp. In recent trials, over a 3 month period men treated with a dermaroller experienced an increase in hair growth. Some experts warn against this. Talk to your doctor. We do not recommend anyone use a dermaroller (which puts tiny holes in your scalp) without consulting a physician first.

In the end, it seemed like much ado about nothing and the Ovation Hair Therapy did not prove to be as successful as its counterpart Mega-Tek, which was meant for horses but is reportedly used by people.

Ovation Hair Therapy system promotes a shampoo, hair therapy hair treatment and a cream rinse moisturizer regime. Following this regime reportedly causes hair to grow at an increased rate. The product that causes the hair growth is the Ovation Hair Therapy hair treatment. The active ingredient in the treatment formula is Panthenol, a pro vitamin that is a natural constituent of healthy hair. According to research, Panthenol has a moisturizing effect and can repair damaged hair but does not support hair regrowth.

Due to its promising claims, many women have turned to this product in hopes of improving their hair condition. However, a point to be considered is that this hair growth product is not FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved which makes one question its claims. Overall the product has received mixed reviews, with many negative reviews along with positive. Some users have reported positive short-term outcomes but negative long-term results.


Moreover, the American Hair Loss Association does not recommend this product. Hence, it should be used with caution because there might be a plethora of problems waiting to erupt. The company’s site also does not clearly indicate if the product prevents hair loss and causes growth or whether it leads to regeneration and subsequent growth. In addition, not enough evidence is available regarding whether the hair growth product can be used on it own or must it be used with the whole package, including the shampoo and the cream rinse moisturizer.

Since the relevant associations have yet to approve this product, some other points that need to be considered are whether this product can be used in conjunction with products from other companies or will that cause allergic reactions. At the moment some side effects to the hair growth treatment product reported by consumers include dry scalp and excessive hair loss.

Overall the product has failed to deliver its promises of causing hair growth. Consumers have to keep in mind that an effective marketing campaign and a well organized website are not the main ingredients of a product and it is important for a product to be approved by the relevant authorities.

This promising yet highly controversial research has also been the subject of many scientific debates. While it may hold the key to many incurable diseases, there is still a long way to go before a stem cell cure may be made available to the public.

For many years, a stem cell cure was completely out of question due to the controversies surrounding the topic because of its extensive use of embryonic stem cells and low success rate. However, more recently, scientists have been trying to revert differentiated cells from adult donors into their pluripotent form for the purpose of their research. However, to date, success rate of such research remains low.

A lot of research has been done regarding stem cells including their ability to cure hair loss. In a study conducted by the Hair and Scalp Clinics in Clearwater, Fla. researchers showed some promising results in people suffering from Alopecia Areata. The basis of this study is stem cell research and it uses the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma. Although, the study has shown some positive immediate effects, long-term effects and side effects remain unknown.


Another recent study reported by the Journal of Clinical Investigation has shown that some signals need to be sent to the stem cells for them to regenerate hair. In the event that scientists can do this, a cure may become possible. Currently though, this study has only been conducted on men, and it is not known as to how females may respond to this treatment. The aforementioned research may seem promising but before one has to consider the plethora of research that has already been done yet yielded no concrete stem cell cure for hair loss. Case in point, the research done by University of Pennsylvania’s school of Medicine in 2004, which managed to isolate stem cells responsible for hair follicle growth treatments. At that point of time, it was considered very promising and was featured in various scientific journals. However, so far it has not resulted in a practical hair loss treatment.

In conclusion, it’s unlikely that 2012 will see a stem cell cure for hair loss. However, the research is continuing slowly but steadily. Stem cell research is slowly uncovering the actual mechanisms behind hair loss… and the more scientists discover about what causes the minaturization that leads to baldness, the sooner they will be able to develop treatments that stop these mechanisms in their tracks and even reverse them.

That is why most experts still believe that stem cell research to cure hair loss still looks promising. The “cure” we are all searching for will NOT come this year, in 2012, but may well arrive in this decade, before 2020. Stay tuned!

With a myriad of cures and medications available in the market, looking for a solution to hair loss may sound easy but finding a solution that will work for you is not as easy as it seems.

A normal teenager loses about 70 hairs a day and excessive hair loss is the body’s way of telling us that there may be a lack of nutrients or medical help might be required. To find a solution, one must first identify the root cause of the problem. There are four major types of hair loss that can occur in teenagers and each requires a different remedy.

Tinea Capitis, also known as scalp ringworm, is a contagious fungal infection and is one of the only types of hair loss in teenagers for which medication is necessary. Individuals suffering from this disease have small circular patches of hair falling out of random spots on their scalps. Due to the contagious nature of the disease, immediate medical help should be sought.


Traction Alopecia, occurring mainly in girls, is due to excessive use of hair products, treatments and tight hairstyles like cornrows. To prevent this type of hair loss, teenagers should avoid experimenting with hair products and treatments. Like adults, teenagers may also experience hair loss due to a poor diet, hormonal imbalance and stress. The solution to that would be to eat healthy and to minimize stress.

Other types of baldness such as male patterned baldness, characterized by a receding hairline or a thinning crown, may be genetic and occur in some teenagers around the age of 14. Medications and surgical treatments are not advised for teenagers due to ill side effects. Instead, teens should consider using non-sulfate shampoos, as a start. After consultation with a family doctor, they may be advised to consider products that contain topical anti-DHT agents.

In a nutshell, teens experiencing early hair loss should seek medical advice immediately. The exact cause should be identified and dealt with. Eating healthy, exercising, getting proper rest and decreasing stress are some of the basic ways to deal with hair loss. Some doctors also recommend using baby hair products as they are softer on the scalp and cold laser therapy. If excessive hair loss persists, expert medical attention, such as that provided by trichologists, should be sought.

The gene called APCDD1 is found to be the cause of a progressive form of hair loss that begins in childhood.

The hair loss is caused when the follicles go through a miniaturization process. The follicles shrink and become very narrow which results in the normal hair being replaced by fine hair sometimes referred to as “peach fuzz”.

Dr. Angela M. Christiano was the lead researcher from Columbia University and author of the study. She explained that by identifying the gene, researchers are able to better understand the process involved. Researchers are considering the possibility that this may also be a factor in Androgenic Alopecia, which may be the reason for hair loss in women, as well as men. She went on to say that even though the two diseases share certain similar processes physiologically that the cause of male patterned baldness is very complex and this may only be the tip of the iceberg.


The research involved analyzing data from a small number of families. The families were from Pakistan and from Italy and all had male patterned baldness in their hereditary line. The researchers discovered that the gene had a mutation in those that were affected by the disease. The gene is located on the genetic marker known as Chromosome 18.

It is this gene that blocks or inhibits the signals from one stem cell to another by causing a disruption in the signaling pathway. Prior to now, the pathway called a Wnt signaling pathway was only known to exist in mice. This is the first time it has been associated with human biology and linked to hair loss and regrowth. This means that hair growth patterns in mice and humans are more closely aligned than was thought previously.

Dr. Chritiano, who specializes in dermatology, genetics and development at Columbia University, was encouraged by this finding because it would suggest that a non-hormonal treatment for hair regrowth possible. She suggested that by learning to manipulate the Wnt pathways that treatments may help many more people than other treatments have been able to do so far.

The complexities of hair loss and hair growth is one that requires much more study. However, researchers are excited about the many new developments that have been discovered in the last year.

Is there one treatment that really works is the question that most people that experience this highly emotional issue ask.

The short answer is maybe.

According to medical specialists in various fields, the treatment is dependent on the type of hair loss and regrowth ability within that causative issue. For example, Alopecia Areata is an acquired skin disease that is exacerbated by stress, which causes the autoimmune system to attack the hair follicles in those who have a pre-existing genetic predisposition to this specific attack.


There are a combination of treatments that may be helpful. However, it is common for the hair to return on its own in about a year. Dermatologists have used steroid injections, creams and prescribed shampoos as hair treatment for hair loss somewhat effectively. Still, because of spontaneous remission in so many cases, there is no clear evidence of the exact effectiveness of the treatments.

This chronic disorder is associated with hair loss in women as well as men. It is commonly seen after childbirth when the hair starts shedding more profusely. It is also seen in men. One of the distinguishing factors for both is that it does follow family members and suggests that there is a genetic link to this type of hair loss. Occasionally, a biopsy needs to be done to determine the precise diagnosis.

In September 2011, the report of recent studies by Yale researchers have discovered that there are stem cells in the fatty tissues of the scalp that communicate with the stem cells in the hair follicles and tell the hair to grow.

To date, there is no definitive method for preventing the disease. Additionally, in spite of rumors there are no known hair care products or treatments that have been shown to induce onset.

Hair treatment for hair loss is not a one size fits all proposition. Many of the reasons for this is because of the cause for that hair loss. Even though some products they may not work at all for the next. Researchers are leaning that hypertension may cause hair loss in some but may not affect others. Stress is showing that it is a significant factor regardless of the causative agent involved. The more scientists research hair loss, the more that they discover the reasons are many.

The hair cloning procedure is not approved for human testing or research at this point. The primary difference between cloning and multiplication is that cloning is done outside the body and multiplication is done in the scalp. Cloning uses genes and multiplication uses plucked hair or fragments of hair.

There are two methods for hair multiplication to stimulate hair regrowth. Both require implantation of donor hairs. In the first method, the idea is that when the donor hair is surgically placed into the scalp, the follicular cells in the scalp would regenerate. By doing this, the cells would activate the cells in the hair and cause multiplication of additional hair growth. In the second method, the same procedure is completed. The difference is that a stimulating drug is used activate additional cell growth. One problem seen in the second method is that the new growth come from the skin and not the hair follicle. The process has not been used long enough to determine if miniaturization will take place over time and kill the new hair.

What is being called “hair cloning” is in fact “hair cell implantation” if we want to be accurate. This method of hair regrowth has been developed by Dr. Amanda Reynolds and Dr. Collin Jahoda described this procedure in their paper “Trans-gender Induction of Hair Follicles.” The dermal sheath cells are removed and isolated from one person and then implanted into another person using injection techniques. These cells then stimulate creation of normal hair follicles. This treatment for hair loss can be done in greater numbers than the hair multiplication method.


The good news is that this treatment can be used for hair loss in women and the sheath cells can come from men. This is a huge breakthrough for women who experience hair loss disease. Repeat injections did not produce the anticipated rejection that is seen in other forms of multiplication methods – even when there was significant differences in genetic profiles.
Additionally, there were indications in the dermal sheath cell implantation that suggested that the skin of the recipient has some factor in the appearance of the hair. The hair regrowth may resemble the recipient’s natural hair more than that of that of the donor. This type of cell multiplication means that even those who are totally bald have the potential to regrow a full head of hair.

This copper affinity can be found in human plasma, urine, and even saliva. The extraction of it can have significant positive effects for skin care and especially hair growth. The active ingredients found in copper peptides are folligen and tricomin. It helps to improve defenses in the skin and increase the supply of nutritional copper.

Copper peptides are typically expensive because it can offer a healthy environment to encourage hair growth. This stimulant is efficient and studies show it is non-toxic and does not irritate the scalp. This natural copper complex is so beneficial that research of copper peptides has extended to the areas of repairing DNA, regenerating nerves, and has positive effects on stem cell problems. A number of popular hair loss treatments, such as DS Laboratories Spectral.DNC and Revita and Revita.COR shampoos, incorporate copper peptides in their formulas.

Other uses of copper peptides include healing wounded animals, preventing cancer, and specifically, preventing further hair loss. Many traditional baldness remedies only work to decrease the dying of hairs but provide no attempts to increase the number of growing follicles. Copper peptides are continually researched because human trials have proven that there are health benefits and this natural copper complex can work extremely well for a variety of uses.


The unique benefit of copper peptides in relation to hair growth is that it can improve the overall health of the skin on the scalp by increasing blood circulation to the follicles. As men and women age, hair follicles become smaller and prevent vital amounts of oxygen and important nutrients to flow smoothly.

If the complexion of the skin itself is improved, hair growth will be affected because the two are interrelated. Furthermore, copper peptides can increase the size of the hair follicles thereby allowing faster growth and increased thickness of the hair shafts. Research has proved that as people get older, the fat accumulation under healthy follicles begins to diminish. Supported by multiple animal trials, copper peptides can drastically reduce and even eliminate this natural process.

The unique effects of copper peptides have prompted various patented hair loss products. It does not only prevent hair loss from continuing but it can actually reverse the natural process of follicle decomposition and eliminate pattern baldness in both men and women. Many studies have also concluded that copper peptides can restore hair for cancer patients who have baldness from chemotherapy. This natural complex is an affinity of copper and has definite benefits for treating hair loss.

DS Laboratories, the makers of the immensely popular Spectral DNC hair loss product, may have a full-blown blockbuster product on the horizon: The first-ever topical hair regrowth solution based on the recent discovery of the peptide Astressin-B, which was able to regrow hair on bald mice. The company’s first batches of the product sold out almost immediately… and is difficult to obtain.

The discovery of Astressin-B in February launched a flurry of media interest. Scientists at the University of California Los Angeles and the Veterans Administration announced that by applying a special peptide ( protein fragment) under the skin of mice that had gone bald due to overexpression of stress hormones they were able to regrow hair in almost all cases. The scientists believed that astressin-B blocked receptors for corticotropin-releasing factor, involved in the stress response, and led to hair regrowth. The data “support the existence of a key molecular switching mechanism triggered by blocking peripheral CRF receptors with an antagonist to reset hair growth in a mouse model of alopecia associated with chronic stress.” Translated: The scientists believe that Astressin-B can actually “reset” the mechanism that grows hair.

You can read the results of the study by clicking here.


The implications were not lost on observers. As one British blogger put it:

Apparently just a single daily shot of astressin-B for for five days maintains hair on a genetically-stress-bald mouse for up to four months – nearly a quarter of the mouse’s lifespan. If the same kind of effects are seen in humans, a course of anti-baldening pills or injections might maintain a luxuriant uptop rug for 15 or 20 years – at any rate where baldness results from the action of CRF-style stress related hormones. Encouragingly, CRF and associated compounds are found in human skin.

It remains to be seen whether Astressin-B will work as well for humans in the real world as it did for bald mice in the laboratory. Judging by how difficult it is to acquire DS Laboratories’s new product, however, it seems that people are willing to give it a try.

These grafts are then preserved in saline and are then transplanted on a hair loss area on the crown area of the scalp.

Given the time consuming and exacting nature of this operation, a FUE surgeon is often able to transplant only about 400 to 600 follicular unit grafts per day. However, thanks to the FUE advances, this technique is often replaced by the follicular unit extraction (FUE). The cost per graft of FUE is approximately twice the cost of the standard operation discussed above but it is comparatively faster and minimally invasive.

Some FUE advances
In a FUE operation a small round punch is made in the donor area to directly extract 1, 2, 3 and 4 hair follicular unit grafts. The follicular units extracted using this process is ly referred to as “blunt dissection” where a punch is made to envelope the entire follicular unit separating it from the surrounding soft tissues.


Once the underlying follicular unit is separated from the surrounding tissues, it is easily extracted using a small forceps. The small holes left behind after the follicular unit extraction gradually heal over the next few days and are not detectable to the naked eye once the patient’s hair grows out. The healing time is much less than the donor strip extraction operation.
While the FUE operation has been adopted by most FUE hair replacement centers, the standard strip removal method is still the most popular FUE operation because it is more economical than the FUE.
Moreover, due to some FUE advances such as the use of trichophytic closure technique, the donor scar created by the strip removal operation is now often rendered almost undetectable to the naked eye. This advancement in the follicular unit transfer technique has made FUE operation relatively less appealing.

Follicular unit transfer research
Besides the FUE advances in the transplantation operations, a lot of research is also underway to clone the hair. If the follicular unit transfer research is successful it will be possible to make several copies of donor hair in the laboratory. The application of this technique would be used in the form of follicular unit transfer. In the traditional operations, the biggest limitation is often the donor which is not able to meet required density. However, hair multiplication promises to overcome this problem by having the amount of hair required to be grown in a laboratory from a single donor hair and then implanting it into the scalp.

Follicular unit transfer research for hair multiplication is very difficult and there are many hurdles that have to be overcome regarding the safety and cosmetic characteristics of the cloned hair. Some follicular unit transfer research has also provided breakthrough for some hair loss medication like Dutasteride.

There is no doubt that FUE procedures provide the best hair restoration possible… if the candidate has enough donor hair and is willing to bear the time and expense. Many people want to try non-surgical methods first, such as the new Spectral.F7 Astressin-B hair regrow serum recently announced. (For more information, click here.)

A Quebec cosmetics company, Unipex, has begun marketing a new hair loss ingredient that, it says, can stimulate new hair growth. The incredient, Capixyl, is a “biomimetic peptide” combined with a red clover extract. Based on the combined and synergistic action of its two ingredients, Capixyl supposedly prevents hair miniaturization, favors a better hair anchoring, and reduces inflammation, an aggravating factor in hair loss.

The company claims that clinical tests demonstrate Capixyl’s effectiveness in increasing the hair density by 46%. This makes Capixyl more effective for hair regrowth than many other products on the market, the company adds, and without causing side effects.


Unipex launches its Capixyl-based products in March. Unipex is a privately held company specializing in the development, production, marketing and distribution of active ingredients and specialty chemicals for world-class producers in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and nutrition industries.

More recently, another company, Divine Skin, launched the first product based on the peptide Astressin-B, a “hormone antagonist” that caused a lot of excitement earlier in 2011 when studies showed it regrew hair in stressed out mice. Astressin-B is meant to be used in conjunction with Divine Skins’s Spectral.DNC hair regrowth product and “nanosome” shampoo and conditioner. The first batches sold out within days. (The product will be available at the end of October. You can add your name to a no-obligation waiting list for a 3-month starter pack by clicking here.)

“Astressin-B is a very complex peptide that is difficult to synthesize,” said Divine Skin CEO Daniel Khesin. “So we are especially excited that the resulting product will be reasonably priced as well as cutting-edge, considering the extraordinary development schedule and cost.”

Astressin-B sparked extensive media coverage worldwide and excitement around the biotech industry after a clinical study, conducted by the University of California Los Angeles and the Veterans Administration, was published in February. By applying the peptide (a protein fragment) subcutaneously to mice that had gone bald due to overexpression of stress hormones, scientists showed that astressin-B blocked receptors for corticotropin-releasing factor, involved in the stress response, and led to hair regrowth.

“We think this technology is years ahead of its time,” continued Khesin. “It could provide significant benefits to many of our hair-loss customers. Spectral.F7 is another direct result of our relentless commitment to bring the latest technology to market first and always.”

Spectral.F7, a booster that can be combined with other treatments or used alone, should begin shipping at the end of October. It comes less than two months after Divine Skin introduced Nanoxidil, a new molecule designed to stimulate follicles at the vertex of the scalp and surpass hypertensive remedies for efficacy and tolerability.

The biotech company Divine Skin Inc.announced the release of the first topical receding hairline treatment based on astressin-B, a peptide newly discovered to regrow hair on bald mice. Divine Skin becomes the first biotech developer to synthesize and commercialize the peptide for human use in a cosmetic product, to be marketed as Spectral.F7 under the DS Laboratories brand.

“Astressin-B is a very complex peptide that is difficult to synthesize,” said Divine Skin CEO Daniel Khesin. “So we are especially excited that the resulting product will be reasonably priced as well as cutting-edge, considering the extraordinary development schedule and cost.”

Here is what I found out.

Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern balding) is by far the most common cause of hair loss amongst men and a serious problem for many women. There are three important components which are responsible for both female and male balding:

1. A genetic predisposition for balding to occur.

2. Excessive presence of male hormones.

3. Aging – enough time for the first two factors to occur.

Both men and women produce male hormones that have a useful role to play in both sexes; but the fact that androgens occur in much higher concentrations in men explains why male pattern baldness is more common than the female balding.

What is making my hair fall out? It is metabolism of male hormones (androgen/testosterone) which is main cause of hair loss and male and female pattern balding both in men and women.

The metabolism of androgen involves an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase which combines with the hormone (testosterone) and converts it to DHT (Dihydro-testosterone). DHT is a natural metabolite of our body.

Why is my hair falling out? Some individuals, both men and women, are genetically pre-disposed to produce more DHT than the normal individuals. It is this accumulation of DHT and its effect on the cells inside the hair follicle and root which is one of the primary causes of male and female pattern balding.

When DHT gets into the hair follicle and root, especially a region called the dermal papilla, it changes the cell’ activity and prevents necessary proteins, vitamins and minerals from providing nourishment needed to sustain life in the hairs of those follicles. Consequently, hair follicles are reproduced at a much slower rate. This shortens their growing stage (anagen phase) and or lengthens their resting stage (telogen phase) of the follicle. DHT also causes hair follicle to shrink and get progressively smaller and finer. This process is known as miniaturization and causes the hair to ultimately fall. DHT induced androgenetic aloepcia is responsible for 95% of all hair loss.

Blocking the synthesis of DHT at the molecular level forms the basis for the treatment of MPHL (male pattern hair loss) and FPHL (female pattern hair loss). There are many natural DHT blockers and a number of drugs which are used for medical hair restoration.

There has been a great deal of progress in the field of hair replacement and restoration in the past few years. Surgical techniques have improved greatly from the days when hair replacement first began. All hair replacement techniques involve the use of your own hair; therefore, hair replacement candidates must have some healthy hair, usually at the back and sides of the head. The process is a relatively safe procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon, however as with any surgery there are risks. Candidates must be checked for uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood-clotting problems, or skin that scars excessively, as these conditions may make healing difficult. Small pieces of hair growing scalp grafts are removed from areas of the scalp with healthy hair and are placed where hair is thinning. There are three major types of grafts: punch grafts, mini-grafts, and micro-grafts. Punch grafting takes about 10-15 hairs and places them in the scalp. This was the first type of technique to be developed, and when first developed caused a patchy look in many candidates. The technique has been improved since the first days of being developed, and the new mini-graft technique has also been added as an option. Mini-grafts contain only 2-4 hairs per graft, and therefore look much more natural. Micro-grafts are still smaller grafts that contain one to two hairs each. To maintain healthy circulation of the scalp, grafts are placed 1/8th of an inch apart. Local anesthesia is usually sufficient for these procedures, and several procedures are usually required to achieve the desired result. Post-surgery, a period of approximately 10 days of no sexual or strenuous activity is recommended, as strenuous activity may cause bleeding from the graft areas.

Of course surgery is a serious option, and often an expensive one as well. For those not wishing to undergo surgery for either reason, the option of non-surgical hair additions is often explored. Many professionals have developed techniques to add hair to existing hair on your scalp that look very natural. Weaves, fusions, bonding, cabling and micro linking are some of the techniques used to bond hair to the existing hair or scalp non-surgically.

Many jokes were made in the past about wigs and toupees, and they have gained an unfavorable light amongst many people because they were so obvious on the wearer. Today’s toupees and wigs are often made of real hair and are very well styled, causing them to look ore natural on the wearer. These hairpieces are held in place by affixing adhesive to the scalp and stay in place through vigorous exercise. Of course you will need to seek a professionally made toupee in order to make it worth your while, and you should purchase at least two so that you can maintain them properly, servicing one while wearing the other. A professionally styled and fitted toupee is expected to cost upward of $600 to $1000 in today’s market. Of course no one wants to go through the embarrassment of wearing the obvious “rug” on top of your head, so if you are not willing to spend the money it takes to purchase a professional toupee then it is probably best to not wear any hairpiece at all.

Structured hairpieces as they are called are a semi-surgical approach that permanently attaches hair to the scalp by stitching the hair to the bald scalp. This procedure is not recommended, as it is a process that involves introducing a foreign material to the scalp. Most ethical surgeons do not perform this procedure any longer as they are generally deemed to be ethically inappropriate. If this procedure is recommended to you, get a second opinion from a trusted physician.

A much safer procedure is hair weaving, yet this can only be used if hair is thinning and large balding areas are not present. The process is also called hair intensification or hair integration. Strands of synthetic or real hair are braided or weaved into your own existing hair giving an appearance of a full head of hair. This procedure does have its drawbacks, because it can make the scalp difficult to access, interfering with proper hair and scalp maintenance necessary for the health of your remaining natural hair, and this method can also stress existing hair since the artificial hair introduced through weaving is attached to it. This method is usually expensive, costing several thousand dollars per application, and being that because of the aforementioned drawbacks it can only be left in for a few weeks at a time it is usually impractical for the average person.

It is highly recommended that one seek professional assistance with these procedures from licensed beauticians or barbers, and have a patch test done to the skin if using adhesives to test for skin sensitivities. Extra care must be taken to maintain cleanliness of the hair and scalp when wearing added hair in order to maintain the health of existing hair and the scalp in general. Of course, if you are undergoing chemotherapy or are in the early stages of diagnosed alopecia areata then these procedures should be avoided as the hair they are connected to is likely to fall out as well. Either waiting for a period of time or obtaining a full prosthesis is recommended in these cases.

Yet still there is another type of treatment which is a spray of micro fibers made up of the same substance that hair is made of: keratin. If your hair is simply thinning, while you are investigating a more permanent solution to your hair loss problems or in the process of employing a particular process that takes some time, you can use these substances to cosmetically produce the appearance of thicker and fuller hair. The substance is marketed under several different names, one such being Topik®. Being a temporary solution it is relatively inexpensive, and can provide some immediate aesthetic results to bolster confidence and optimism as you work on more permanent solutions.

Recoverup offers a new ethical, safe and effective long-lasting treatment for hair stem cell hair regeneration treatment that is the revolutionary solution to hair loss; taking stem cells from your own body and transforming them into enduring new hair. The treatment is available today.

The treatment uses Autologous Adipose Adult (A.A.A.) stem cells. Using A.A.A. derived stem cells helps you avoid ethical and moral barriers to stem cell usage by using stem cells taken from your own body. However, not only are A.A.A. stem cells more ethically preferable, they are also safer and more effective than other stem cells, such as those taken from human embryo’s or animals sources.

The procedure stimulates the growth of brand new hair, by placing the A.A.A. stem cells, in pores under the surface of the scalp. The treatment is minimally invasive and can be done in a day.

Men and women will do just about anything to save their hair.

On Thursday morning, TV viewers in Philadelphia were learning on the local TV show “Good Day” that the secret to a full thick head of hair might come from your own plasma. Apparently you can inject a plasma-based treatment into your hair follicle.

Dr. Jo from the Fox Medical Team explained how it works. She said there are two kinds of fluid that are carefully removed. The first is PRP, short for platelet-rich plasma, which contains stem cells, growth factors and cell fragments used in clotting.

The second is platelet-poor plasma. It typically goes to waste. But by using filters, Dr. Greco creates a super-concentrated solution called Orogen. These treatments are not cheap. Each one can cost up to $1,000, and it’s not covered by insurance.

So far we are hitting the 1 month and 2 weeks of our trials, and I must say that in all of my investigations I have never seen anything so promising.

We have not been able to replicate the exact ideal conditions for the tests, but we have been working well with what we have.

I don’t want to elaborate on specifics yet as it’s very early to say, but there is no doubt that Astressin has an unusual impact on stopping further hair loss on our subjects.


It’s important to note that the mice we are testing have strong levels of stress present in the system, the main culprit for their present conditions; this inequitably proved the overwhelming impact of stress in the hair growth process, it can potential mean that we have found an amazing compound that counteracts this effect and can potentially be used in future treatments.

Now we have been receiving a lot of emails asking how astressin would affect specific Androgenic Alopecia patients. Would love to have an answer but it’s really too early to say, what I can say for sure is that while stress can trigger an onset of MPB, it is not certainly the only factor, so a lot testing still needs to be conducted.

The next 2 months will be crucial, as we will be changing the testing environmental conditions but most importantly test on subjects with different conditions, some of which don’t involve a pre-existing elevated stress levels.

Will keep you updated, and to everyone that is feeling down and on the downside of advantage, there is hope, and I wouldn’t be saying this if I did not strongly believe we were dealing with a potentially gam changer here.

The study was published in the June 11, 2011 issue of the journal Cell. The research was led by Mayumi Ito, PhD, assistant professor in the Ronald O. Pereleman Department of Dermatology at NYU Langone.

“We have known for decades that hair follicle stem cells and pigment-producing melanocycte cells collaborate to produce colored hair, but the underlying reasons were unknown,” said Dr. Ito. “We discovered Wnt signaling is essential for coordinated actions of these two stem cell lineages and critical for hair pigmentation.”


The study suggests the manipulation of Wnt signaling may be a novel strategy for targeting pigmentation such as graying hair. The research study also illustrates a model for tissue regeneration.

“The human body has many types of stem cells that have the potential to regenerate other organs,” said Dr. Ito. “The methods behind communication between stem cells of hair and color during hair replacement may give us important clues to regenerate complex organs containing many different types of cells.”

Using genetic mouse models, researchers were able to examine how Wnt signaling pathways enabled both hair follicle stem cells and melanocyte stem cells to work together to generate hair growth and produce hair color. Research also showed the depletion (or inhibition or abnormal) Wnt signaling in hair follicle stem cells not only inhibits hair re-growth but also prevents melanocytes stem cell activation required for producing hair color. The lack of Wnt activation in melanocyte stem cells leads to depigmented or gray hair.

The study raises the possibility that Wnt signaling is a key pathway for the regulation of melanocyte stem cells and shows how melanocyte behavior is associated with hair regeneration.

The study, published in the Journal of Dermatological Science (Volume 60, Issue 2) concerns the use of mesenchymal stem cells to stimulate new hair growth. The stem cells used in the study were derived from bone marrow and umbilical cord sources.

“We isolated and cultivated MSCs from bone marrow and umbilical cord in vitro,” the study authors reported. “After propagated MSCs underwent preconditioning in dermal papilla forming medium (DPFM), then subcultured MSCs formed self-aggregated DPLTs. We compared real human scalp dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) with DPLTs employing DPCs, DPLTs employing hBM-MSCs and DPLTs employing hUC-MSCs.”


Rough translation: The stem cells were able to produce hair-like structures similar to ordinary scalp hairs.

“The DPLTs have the same hair bulb structure inductive ability as natural DPLTs in vitro,” the authors write. “Transplanted DPLTs can induce new hair follicle in athymic mice. As a result, UC-MSCs and BM-MSCs may be an applicable and novel cell source for the generation of human hair cell therapy.”

Of course, no practical therapy has been created as a result of this study. As always, “more research” — and funding! — is needed. But it shows that the Koreans have started investigating hair cloning in a serious way.

A Tampa Bay area TV station did a story recently on a man undergoing a highly experimental stem cell treatment for hair replacement. The man, Russell Gibson, had the treatment at the Hair and Scalp Clinics located at 13555 Automobile Boulevard #110 in Clearwater, Florida.

“This treatment involves drawing the blood of the patient, their own blood,” explained the clinic’s medical director, John Satino. “It’s then separated. It’s called PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma which contains stem cells and growth factors.”

Satino added that those growth factors then are injected into the scalp in the affected area. Satino said that a laser is used to “agitate” the skin so the stem cells can migrate into the hair follicles.

John Satino says if you’re losing your hair there are several other treatment options available but first he recommends patients who are losing their hair take a DNA test. It’s a simple mouth swab taken to determine whether you have male pattern baldness. It costs about 100 dollars and you can see your lab results online before following up with a doctor.

He adds that injections of cortisones or steroids can work for some but may only have temporary results. Laser treatments are another option that may work and then there’s the stem cell treatment which is the procedure Russell Gibson is undergoing.

Dr. Gho’s research has been followed closely by numerous experts in the field of hair transplantation and rejuvenation. He has been criticized, however, for not submitting his research to the rigorous scrutiny of peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Throughout the 1990s, Dr. Gho developed specialized techniques of hair follicle extraction and transplantion. The GHO Clinic was established in 1994 with offices at various places around the world, with head offices in Prague. In 2005, Dr. Gho resigned from the GHO Clinic and launched a new venture, The Hair Science Institute (HSI), located at the World Trade Center in Amsterdam.

According to HSI’s own website, the technology that Dr. Gho has developed — which he terms “HairStemcell Transplantation” (HST) — differs from other types of hair restoration techniques in that it does not redistribute existing hair but “ensures that your own hair generates new hairs in a desired area.”

One of the transplantation techniques Dr. Gho developed – the Follicular Multiplication – was established as a restorative method to treat burn wounds. In the clinical facilities of Hair Science Institute, this method has alleged been improved and is now refined to the advanced and patented technique that is now known as HairStemcell Transplantation.

Apparently, the way the technology works is that hairs from a patient are removed from the back of the head and then analyzed. Only those hairs with particular characteristics (bigger bulb size, shape and strong pigmentation) are used for cloning purposes. Then, epithelial cells from these hair bulbs are propagated in vitro in a specialized culture medium (serum-free keratinocyte culture media with antibiotics and growth factors, such as EGF). Once these cells have propagated, they are removed from the culture and injected into skin pores of the balding area. This procedure is carried out with the aid of special needles or injectors. According to HSI, Dr. Gho’s method differs from other hair cloning techniques, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Multiplication (FM) techniques. Dr. Gho’s clinic insists that the Hair Science Institute approach is the most sophisticated of all attempts to transplant hair follicle by follicle. In FUE, HSI says, the whole follicle is removed with a needle of 0.75 to 1.0 mm diameter (0.45 – 0.8 mm), which results, HSI claims, in a considerable likelihood of scarring and a minimum re-growth of the removed hair.

The Follicular Multiplication (FM) technique attempts to remove only the upper part of the hair follicle with the help of a much smaller needle measuring only 0.7 mm in diameter (0.4 mm). Because of this the chance of scarring is less but re-growth is still limited. With Dr. Gho’s HairStemcell Transplantation (HST) method, the company claims, a part of the follicle is taken away in a longitudinal direction with a smaller needle still, just 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm diameter (0.2 – 0.3 mm_). This results in almost no chance of scarring and, most important of all, the re-growth of hair in the donor area is higher than with the other two methods. The company’s website has some very frank photographs of patients immediately before, during and one-day after treatment. How does Dr. Gho’s technique compare with the approaches being developed by companies such as Aderans and Intercytex? In an online interview in 2005, Dr. Gho insisted that his technology is based on the follicular stem cells and not on the Dermal Papilla cells. “In my opinion, these cells [Derma Papilla cells] are able to produce a hair; however, after a period, they will die and will not produce a hair again,” he told the interviewer. “Even Colin Jahoda revealed in his studies that human Dermal Papilla cells cannot produce a hair but an outer root sheath…”

New stem cell techniques to clone hair may help hair loss sufferers, a number of scientists claimed this past week.  The combination of breakthroughs in stem cell technology and recent discoveries in the genetics of hair loss could result in a major breakthrough in the treatment of hair loss, they said.

In a recent stem cell study of hair loss led by Viljar Jaks of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, scientists examined mouse hair follicles for signs of rapid hair growth. They discovered a protein, called Lgr5, on the surface of long-lived, active stem cells in hair cells. Apparently, cells carrying the Lgr5 marker were capable of maintaining hair follicles for as long as 14 months, the researchers said.

While still in the early stages, these recent discoveries could prove crucial in the ongoing push to develop a stem cell technique to clone hair and cure hair loss. The most likely treatment may end up being stopping hair loss before it develops into male pattern baldness. “Early prediction before hair loss starts may lead to some interesting therapies that are more effective than treating late-stage hair loss,” said Tim Spector, a researcher in Kings College London who led a related study of the DNA of hair loss.


The average person has about 100,000 scalp hairs. While most people experience some hair loss as they age, men suffering from pattern hair loss – a genetic condition inherited from parents — can suffer from significant hair loss.

Hair loss or baldness is caused by a gradual shrinking of hair follicles on top of the head. Eventually, they sprout less and less hair. Balding men and some women have follicles that shrink so much they stop producing hair at all.

In the past two years, however, the hope has arisen that it might be possible to stimulate new hair growth when a University of Pennsylvania researcher discovered that mice healing from wounds can produce brand new hair follicles. In 2007, the researcher, Dr. George Cotsarelis, showed that when skin is damaged, the skin cells behave like a stem cell and generate new hair follicles.

Dear Friend,

Hello. My name is Julian Phillips. Some friends and I started StemCellBaldnessCures.com back in 2008 when the first news reports appeared about new stem cell treatments for hair loss (see the video above).

At the time, it seemed as though the scientists were on the brink of a “cure” for baldness. Since then, we’ve learned that, while the initial research that gave rise to those reports was real and truly revolutionary, the way to a practical, commercial treatment is littered with obstacles.

One of the companies that started the research into stem cell treatments for hair loss, Intercytex, went out of business two years later… and another, Histogen, has been involved in court disputes over its technologies that have dragged on for years.

Yet the research is continuing… and is FINALLY beginning to bear fruit.

One of the companies that has been involved in stem cell research for hair loss is Aderans Research, and it is currently deep in its Phase II clinical trials for its new hair cloning technology that, if it works, could result in virtually limitless amounts of donor hair follicles being available for patients.

This website is dedicated to tracking these developments — and other new technologies and treatments for slowing and reversing hair loss in both men and women.

“Julian, Thank you for the informative and encouraging study on the use of the different hair treatments for women. I began using one treatment about 4 years ago and decided after 3 months to begin using a stronger formulation.  I was encouraged to continue because it was obvious there was less shedding and increased hair growth. There was the accompanying itchiness and occasional burning with the use of certain hair products…ie: shampoos, etc. I have heard that this treatment stops working after about 3 years and your growth/loss cycles cease to be effective. Do you know if that is true? I had a compounding pharmacy formulate a special product for me w/o propylene glycol and have began using that. There is still the accompanying itchiness. They can formulate it for me with some topical steroid (cortisone) to help with the itchiness and irritation but I’m not a big fan of steroids. It is in a glycerine base. Anyway, thanks again. I always look forward to your emails and am grateful for your information.” - A.C., London

“Julian, I just wanted to send you thanks for the constant updates. For people who are selfconscious about their appearance, these constant updates are great and I would say give hope that they will eventually cure MPB. I did have a question, though. I got an update from you a few months ago, Aderans and Recoverup. These where two treatment options i was very interested in. I send recoverup an email and they said that do to the events that took place in japan they shut down temporarily. Do you know of any options like this that are available to the general consumer and if so what would be the best way to approach it? As always, thank you much, Erik”

“Hey Julian, Just a quick note to let you know that I appreciated this article. It is comforting to know that I’m not the only one who is “throwing everything in the tackle box”. Cheers, Randy”

“HI Julian, Thanks for your emails. I want to know if some of these treatments will be of any benefit for female androngenic hair loss.  I am 52 years old and started to lose my hair in my early teens.  My hair is thin, very fine and oily. I am also very concerned for my 19 year old daughter her hair is getting thinner and  has got fine in texture.  I am rather resistant to taking drugs especially taking into consideration how young my daughter is. Thankk you for all your help. Margaret, Omaha”
