If you had a FUE procedure, where an individual hair follicle is taken from the back of your scalp one at a time and reimplanted to a balding part of your scalp, you would be left with a small punctate scar which would be virtually undetectable. It would be impractical to reimplant a hair follicle […]

Almost every day, I get some form of this question. Sometimes they get posted here, sometimes I just reply with a link to the Hair Cloning category. The idea that hair cloning is around the corner has no basis, yet the rumor persists. I do not believe that we will see anything for a good […]
If a doctor thinks that he can find a stem cell on you and move it to your head in the hope that it will grow hair (it actually might) then the doctor may be allowed to do this if he does this in his office. He has to pay attention to the medical licensing […]
I have no particular inside knowledge about this company. I read the press releases just like everyone else. To address your curiosity on phases for drug development and what it means, see: Phases of Product Development Hair Cloning Timelines: In 1987, Dr. Colin Jahoda first cloned hair. When that happened, the excitement was wonderfully high […]
Hair is actually the biggest organ on our body next to your skin. Hair does not divide naturally and multiply to create copies of itself. That would be cloning. My views on cloning is independent of the government’s views. It is my opinion that current technology has not progressed to a level where cloning an […]
I caught this presentation at a meeting of the ISHRS about 2-3 years ago. I was very impressed with the idea, but the proof was severly lacking with a minimal number of patients presented. Based upon hearing the presentation, Dr. Robert Bernstein and I decided to repeat the process on a few human volunteers. The […]
The FDA will take a very long time to approved any cloning issues. Add up to 5-10 years after the breakthroughs are in hand. My five year estimate is based on the drug cures that are expedited through the FDA when human lives may end before the ‘cures’ are processed, not something as unimportant as […]
When cloning is a safe and proven method for restoring hair, we will be on the forefront of it. It will take years and years for the FDA to approve the defined process of cloning and that process has not yet been defined. I don’t hold my breath waiting.
The cloned hair would take on the characteristics of its original hair because its growth and color pattern will be determined by its gene. Based upon the way the cloning is carried out, if the hair is your own, there is no present understanding of the ‘expression’ of that hair. Color seems not to be […]
I saw this article yesterday about hair cloning on the UK’s Times Online: Baldness cure firm heads for AIM Here is an example of a business deal coming down the pike shortly which mixes the anticipation of raising a large amount of money with the excitement of hair cloning. Growing hair in a test-tube from […]
I recently had a conversation with my associate Dr. Robert Bernstein, who in turn spoke to the most prominent hair cloning expert in the world today, Dr. Angela Christiano. The gist of their conversation was that there is nothing new on the horizon at this time that has changed the prospects for hair cloning anytime […]
Dr. Washenik is a reliable source. Like me, he is overly optimistic on some things, but I believe that his timeline have not panned out in the past, so I would expect the same for the future. I do believe that hair cloning will come, but because of legislative challenges, I would doubt that we […]
You should give Propecia at least 18-24 months to peak out its benefit. When you say it is not working, I assume that you mean you are still losing some hair. The normal hair loss rate is about 100-150 hairs/day and with that comes another new 100-150 hairs that start growing. Could it be that […]
I am constantly asked for information and news on what is coming down the pike on hair cloning. The following link will take you to a news release from the Associated Press, published yesterday. Please read through the lines; nothing is about to happen tomorrow. Yahoo News: Scientists Seek New Treatments for Balding
The topic of hair cloning comes up quite often, but there really isn’t anything new to report. Similar questions I’ve previously answered in this blog can be found in the hair cloning section. I do not expect that hair cloning will be available for commercial use in the next 10 years. The political problems alone […]
