Recoverup Hair Regeneration
Hi doc, there has been a company which has been on the minds of alot of people recently and for some reason no one like your self has mentioned anything up on it.
The company is “Recoverup”, please have a look at there website below and if you can find more up on this company I assure you alot of people will appreciate it.
Site: Recoverup.com
Also on hairsite.com someone got a very thorough reply, and it seemed pretty legimate, can you also please give us your thoughts on that.
Many Thanks.
There does not seem to be meat on the bone with Recoverup. In other words, there’s nothing here of substance, though there are many outlandish hair growth claims. The site is filled with stock photos and their Video Gallery is just computer animation. If there was really a hair loss solution in that website, I’d suspect the world would be paying attention. Instead, they claim there’s guaranteed growth in 2 weeks time and offer nothing to back that up. I don’t know much about the company, but based on their website it sure looks like they’re offering slick marketing more than actual results.
As for that “pretty legitimate” response on HairSite, to me it sounds like a sales pitch. Here’s what they say about photos of patient results — “In terms of providing pictures, we have found many ‘hair restoration’ websites to have such pictures enhanced with photo editing software, etc and as such we didn’t consider to put up such pictures.”
Uh huh. I’d have to assume that if this was truly a viable hair loss treatment option there would be photos made public, but instead they use the excuse that because some (unknown) hair restoration companies use Photoshopped images, they didn’t want to use any photos of results at all. So why would they use stock photos of pretty, hairy people on their site? Seems dishonest.
One last thought — I am a US-based physician and while I’m not aware of various legalities in other countries, it seems odd that a UK-based company (as Recoverup is) would only be doing this procedure in Taiwan and Malaysia. Are the laws a little more lax in those countries or is there another reason?
Dear Dr. Rassman.
Yes, stem cell hair regeneration is real, and the science behind it is not that complicated. The treatment uses Autologous Adipose Adult (A.A.A.) stem cells. These are stem cells taken from your own body (fat stores), separated, activated and inserted under the scalp.
The only reason Recoverup can’t open clinics in US and Europe is because the legislation there is slightly behind the times. Initially anti-stem cell legislation was placed to stop researchers using embryonic stem cells, which I actually think was a good idea. Embryonic stem cells means the death of an embryo, a life in other words. Stopping this kind of research made sense morally and ethically.
However …
What’s happened in the past 2-3 years is the discovery of being able to use autologous stem cells (ie. stem cells from your own body) in the treatment of your own body.
It’s not just hair loss treatments that are benefiting, these autologous stem cells are being used in heart repair, brain repair, diabetes, etc. Not only are autologous stem cells more ethical, they actually out-perform embryonic-derived stem cells hands down – as there aren’t any ‘transplant’ or ‘rejection’ issues.
Unfortunately, the laws in the UK and US are probably not going to change soon. The science is moving faster than the laws are.
Recoverup is not a “miracle grow” – but it does help significantly with thinning or patchy hair. The company has empirical data showing at least 40% improvement in treated areas. That said, if you are completely bald in a particular area, a hair transplant may still be your best option.
Have a good day!
