At the recent International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) meeting, a paper was presented by Intercytex and it discussed the proto-hairs. This is an exciting development, but there is still a long way from producing these hair precursors to a clinically, reproducible process for creating hair where none existed. There have been other breakthroughs […]

There are no easy answers to your problem. We can slow hair loss with drugs like Propecia (finasteride 1mg) and we can force some new hair to grow (or slow down the fall out) in some people with minoxidil. However, putting your hair back to its state prior to losing it, is just not where […]
If you think that I am negative, that is an interesting observation. Throughout my life, I have been called an optimist, but I must be pragmatic and realistic when writing this blog every day. For example, I can not say that hair cloning will come about shortly as others might say, because my research pointed […]
Attempts are being made, but keep in mind an undetectable natural looking hair transplant is a medical miracle in itself also. Today’s transplants work now, so waiting for the cloning miracle which may or may not come in your lifetime, will only guarantee balding for many of those that want to wait.
You are correct in stating that I am a doctor, not a financial adviser. Risks are a matter of timing and intelligent selection. If I knew what to do with discounting the long delays in a financial sense, then it might be worth the gamble. In other words, your best bet is to ask a […]

Last week we attended a lecture at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on the topic of hair stem cells. Dr. Robert Hoffman (speaker) is a professor at the University of California, San Diego. He and his colleagues have done several studies on hair stem cells and its application in different fields of medicine. Dr. […]
Those experiencing hair loss are usually aware of it every month. It is the end of the month, and I don’t think anything has changed on the awareness level. Nonetheless, I am pleased hair loss fits into the one of the 12 months of the year. :) The 15th Annual Scientific Meeting for International Society […]
What you are looking for, I am afraid I can not help you with. I don’t know enough details about Intercytex to comment beyond what I’ve already written. My present thoughts are that it may take years to prove and then have approved for clinical use, the final treatments that Intercytex is working on. I […]
I appreciate your reference here. Our readership should find it interesting. I believe that we will see the answer sooner or later and this company may have the solution, but I think it is probable that if this is shown to be effective, approval may take years.
To be in the field of hair loss treatment and hair transplantation, you can either be a nurse, technician, or be a doctor. To be a hair transplant doctor you need to go to medical school (4 years). Afterwards, you need to finish residency (3-6 years). You can choose any residency such as dermatology or […]
The simple answer to your question is probably no! The medication (Propecia) is gone from your blood stream in a day or two and probably out of your body in under a week or so. If you are genetically balding and take Propecia and experience side effects, you can stop the medication and the side […]
If there is a medical cure for balding (medicine, cloning, etc), I think I would become a very rich man. After all, who else is better equipped to treat balding than the doctors who are already in the practice? I should hope that there will be a cure in my lifetime!
First of all, we forgot our own birthday! The first post was made on BaldingBlog.com on April 6, 2005. We’re now over 2 years old… with over 3400 posts! Where does the time go? I want to bring some attention to the news feeds we’ve added to the right sidebar from our friends at HairLossHelp.com. […]
The best conference for the hair restoration industry is the meeting put on annually by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). The next meeting will be this coming September in Las Vegas. It has a board agenda, covering everything from drug and cloning breakthroughs, to changes in surgical techniques. I have been a […]
