Press Release – Aderans Completes Part of Their Phase 2 Study
Snippet from the press release:
Aderans Research Institute (ARI) recently completed the first of seven protocols of a hair regeneration Phase 2 clinical study, and the results are in: more than half of study participants showed significant hair growth one year after the cell product treatment was administered. “The results indicate that our scientific approach, our research and understanding of follicular cell and hair regeneration is headed in the right direction,†said Vern Liebmann, Vice President Operations. “The fact that an increase in hair growth is apparent as far out as one year after treatment indicates our process has staying power. Nobody we know of has produced results like these.â€

Results like what are reflected in the announcement from Aderans are very exciting. It is a good thing that many different paths are succeeding lately and, like any lottery, there can be more than one solution to the hair loss problem.
I do not look at the various solutions that are presently being tested as a competition between one technology and another. I look at the millions of dollars that have been spent to solve the hair loss problem and the promise of an exciting future for better and possibly more natural solutions for the various forms of alopecia.
I know from speaking with many prospective patients that some men will now consider postponing traditional hair loss treatments (like the use of finasteride or hair transplantation) in favor of waiting for an “Aderans solution”, but it is important for those who are impacted with early balding not to ignore realistic treatments that do work. For example, a fast-moving balding problem in a young man who may be destined for an advanced hair loss pattern should not allow his loss to progress while he waits for future treatments to become reality, particularly when there are very effective medications available to slow the process down today.
All these up coming treatment or cure requires surgery to be done in the end. If more hair grafts available, people will go for more number of hair grafts surgery, thus increasing the hair transplant market which be very profitable for hair transplant surgeons.
Will there be any cure , that will not require any transplant? If that happens by any chance, then all the hair transplant surgeons will go out of work.
So they will never be in favor of such a cure that does not require surgery.
I dont agree – somebody will need to administer this. And I suspect it will be existing experianced hair docs / surgeons. Aderans aren’t talking about a pill or a topical treatment – it’s my understanding that the new hair cells are injected into the scalp.
it’s nice seeing your reaction to a hair cloning news without mentioning the usual “more than a decade away” :) change in perspective i guess!
@CCL haha! Awesome eh :)
yeah, this procedure doesnt involve transplanting hairs, instead they cut out a little piece of scalp, culture it for a couple weeks, and then inject the newly cultured cells into the part of your head that’s thinning, and more hair grows there.
THIS WOULD BE THE SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!
