This is all promise at this time. The company hopes that their treatment methodologies will eventually lead the area of hair multiplication, but as of this time, it is not available (except as an experimental subject). The text of the site requires considerable reading for the consumer to determine that this is an experimental technique, […]

Sooner or later, there will be a treatment such as hair multiplication, gene transfer, or hair cloning of the like. These are all being well funded now and it is only a matter of time before one of them will give us a good option. The problem that will eventually slow it down will be […]
You’re right in that I cannot make a personal diagnosis over the Internet. You report Diffuse Patterned Alopecia which does not define what you have. I am assuming that you do not have the diffuse form of alopecia areata which is an autoimmune disease (very rare in young men) and if you had it, it […]
Here’s what I found posted to their site last week in their September 18, 2008 update — ICX-TRC – hair regeneration Data from the Phase II trial shows increase in hair count in 11 out of 14 (79%) evaluable subjects at 24 weeks A little lackluster for those that have been waiting, but that’s all […]
In my opinion, results of body hair transplants are not well documented. I appreciate your desperate cry for some solution, but sometimes the best advice a doctor can give is just by making the patient aware of limitations in medicine. Moreover, I don’t like to experiment on patients when I know the the technology and […]
I do not know enough about Intercytex and its research and development to adequately comment of the matter from a medical perspective. This sounds like a business issue. Drugs or techniques developed by one company often get sold off to another company (common in pharmaceutical industry).
Snippet from the article: Read the full story — New Fundraising for Hair-Raising: Follica Takes in $11 Million for Baldness-Treatment Approach What does this all mean for the future of hair cloning / multiplication? Well, that remains to be seen. This is exciting stuff and I hope the additional funds will bring this technology to […]
Hair multiplication is most likely more than 2-3 years away. There was some talk about it at the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) conference years ago, but nothing was said this past year (not the upcoming one in September, obviously), which I take to mean that there was no advancements worthy to take […]
I can be optimistic at times, but I do not believe there will be a “CURE” for genetic hair loss in the next 10 to 20 years. There may be better drugs or discoveries to slow or partially reverse the balding process, however. There are some exciting things happening with hair cloning / multiplication, but […]
Thank you for the heads up! A number of people sent this link to me yesterday, but I was traveling and didn’t get to post it until now. The article says that the results will be available next year, and I’d love to see them. You can read the article at TimesOnline.co.uk — Feeling a […]
The longer you wait to do something about your hair loss, the more hair that is going to be lost. I would highly doubt that Follica will have something available to you this year or any time soon. You should realize that you are playing a game of Russian roulette with each hair follicle. If […]
I am going to assume ESPN’s Dick Vitale is a Norwood Class VII, and he has an average hair density of 2. This equals about 1250 hairs per square inch, or 625 follicular units (FU) per square inch, assuming an average of 2 hairs per FU. The front and top part of the scalp […]
I am hoping that the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technology will be improved from an instrument point of view. I personally believe that this technology has great room for improvement. With regard to strip harvesting, I think that we have only improved in our overall efficiency, not in a better technique. We are all waiting […]
I have been asked over and over again for updates on cloning and hair regeneration. This San Francisco Chronicle reference is one that reviews the status of where we are today. Read the rest of the article — Biotech turns to hair-loss research
The exciting happening from last week was the recent discovery of what may be an important genetic marker for causes of hair loss (see In the News – Hair Loss Gene Identified?). The hairs in a Norwood Class 6 pattern balding person are probably still there in some involuted state, possibly at a cellular level. […]
