Hair Cloning & Multiplication for Hair Loss | The Hair Transplant Road Show EP 12 Part 1

[@BobDerm]

This three part series is all about hair multiplication. Aderans is a world leader in this research. Parts 2 and 3 will be posted in the next several weeks and I think will answer your questions. I can tell you that hair multiplication as a cosmetic procedure is still quite some time away.

[@wertin200]

And what about the hair rejuvenation he is talking about?

[@BobDerm]

Part 1 focused on the past. Part 2 will discuss the present, and Part 3 will focus on future developments. Stay tuned!

[@wertin200]

​​@@BobDerm Do you know when part 2 will be releasde within the next week or later? Also a video I would recommened is from KwRX in which he talks with Dr. William Rassman about similare topics Maybe in the future you could also talk with someone from amplifica.

[@BobDerm]

I think two weeks between each episode. I will look for that video.

[@wertin200]

​@@BobDerm Have you looked into amplifica?

[@paulhart3812]

True. Researchers have been trying to tackle hair multiplication since the mid-1990s!!!

[@patmgat]

Been waiting 10 years. I'm 36. I don't want to wait another 10!

[@hairtransplantroadshow]

Neither do I, but very capable researchers are spending lots of money to bring this to fruition. We just need to be patient.

I’m 42 and I’ve been waiting since I was 25

I would pay 200k aus dollar to have this done hope this motivates the scientist more

I'll let Ken Washenik and the other researchers know!

Aderans didn’t run out of money. They had a Kodak (company ) moment. They started to realize that their traditional wig business partners and retailers would be hurt with cloning and so it didn’t make financial sense to continue. So they went into a holding pattern to milk as much money out of the wig business until eventually wig competition from China started to erode their market share and they saw Stenson coming which they knew would be a death blow to let them win the race. So they “partnered up”. Let’s hope Aderans doesn’t try to slow down Stenson’s progress for the sake of squeezing a few more years out of their wig business. Again this is like Kodak failing to embrace digital cameras for the sake of protecting their film business. Purchasing expensive wigs every few months is more lucrative in the long run than a hair clone transplant. Let’s hope stenson does the right thing and that Aderans old approach is gone

[@michaelvescovo]

that's crazy if true. at least they should learn the lesson from Kodak then - which is to embrace the new technology and become the leader. There is a much larger market for people who want real hair compared to the few that are comfortable with a wig. also, you can charge more, especially in the beginning.

[@stevewise75]

@@michaelvescovo the market for wigs is actually bigger than transplants but that’s starting to change. Think about it, it’s easier to sell someone on a $300 wig. The sticker shock is much lower (monthly payments), there’s no scary surgery, and you get instant gratification (can go to work/wedding/school reunion looking amazing). But you get that $300 every three months forever (because who would stop paying to end up REALLY bald). The math is much better for aderans and worse for the customer over the long run but it’s all about that smaller payment compared to $10k+ upfront fee, fear of pain/surgery, long recovery time (not good if you’re trying to keep it a secret). With the rise of social media, potential customers feel more informed and comfortable about a HT and it’s becoming more acceptable to get hair transplants so it’s less embarrassing to head back to work or go to an event if you’re hair hasn’t fully grown in. No more shame in letting people know you had a hair transplant.

[@nmc5657]

so hair follicles never actually die, they just go dormant?

[@hairtransplantroadshow]

Personally I don't believe that yet. There is some evidence of dormancy but more proof is needed.

[@nmc5657]

@@hairtransplantroadshow thank you for your response. i've heard/seen some crazy stories of people's hair suddenly growing back after decades of having none, so i suppose anything is possible, but i'm more inclined to believe people have the - potential - for hair follicles in certain areas, even if they've lost hair in those areas, rather than the follicles sitting there, dormant. but that's just me. thanks again.

[@ÁngelSaadaliRonco22]

Hello doctor The question is the following: Will there be some type of hair cloning in which the procedure is injectable and not grafted and in which a hair follicle is generated from scratch as if it were grafted? As I understand it, hair companies are working on three techniques or three procedures but the doubt I have is if in the cell multiplication procedure a cell could be injected and new hair would grow from scratch even for scars.

[@hairtransplantroadshow]

Great question. Certainly the hope is that either full hair follicles are grown in a lab that can be transplanted, or a process where a microdroplet is injected and grows a cosmetically satisfyingly hair. The alternative is to grow non-cosmetically satisfying hairs that would have to be harvested and re-implanted. This would add cost and scarring to the procedure.

[@ÁngelSaadaliRonco22]

@@hairtransplantroadshow That would be fantastic. I would be particularly interested in the injectable microdroplet technique to generate hair follicles from scratch with cells, as I believe that this technique would have more advantages than the grafted technique, such as being less invasive and having a faster recovery time. I am looking forward to being able to use this technique in the near future, within a few years, so that I can perform it.

[@watchandenjoy9916]

[@mohammedjalal9528]

Why didn't you notify him about the concept of hair multiplication? Have they made any progress? Is human hair multiplication a reality or merely a hypothesis? Please provide an honest answer to the public. Is there any hope for the future?

[@kritika91]

There’s no true tangible progress here . I would think there’s also think there’s also potential conflict of interest as if it truly works somehow , you’d be competing with big pharma and other brands that already promote hair growth . More research really needs to be pushed by dermatologists , surgeons , internal med , and the PhD research docs. Making it widespread and known to be wider funding .

[@kritika91]

By internal medicine , I would get more hematologists and immunologists also involved in the research efforts .

[@mohammedjalal9528]

It is futile if they are unable to increase the number of hairs, such as turning one hair into 100 hairs. There is no prospect for improvement in this case. I believe it would be best to not focus on it and leave it as it is.

[@BobDerm]

I agree that turning a single follicle into hundreds is the "holy grail," but how can this ever become a reality without ongoing research?

[@mohammedjalal9528]

@@BobDerm Sir, tell me is there any hope? Humans can do that or not?

[@hairtransplantroadshow]

Of course there is hope! But it will be years before it is available and thus will benefit younger people rather than older folks.

[@mohammedjalal9528]

@@hairtransplantroadshow When is it expected to be available, and at what age exactly can we benefit from this cure?

[@mohammedjalal9528]

@@hairtransplantroadshow Has hair growth multiplication been successful so far based on your pieces of information in the US in the research centers?

[@reggiep8821]

If they can clone goats 🐐 why can’t they clone human hair, it seems so simple if you can clone and animal.

[@hairtransplantroadshow]

Actually its much easier to clone an entire goat, or an entire human for that matter, than to clone a heart or a liver or a hair follicle. The cellular instructions to grow just a part of the whole are extremely complex, and has not been done successfully. If it was possible to do that, there would be no waiting lists for hearts or kidneys or other organs for those in need.
