The Latest Findings on Hair Cloning and Hair Multiplication

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I get questions about hair multiplication, hair loss, stem cell hair regrowth, and hair cloning transplantsHair Multiplication quite often. At the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) this year a gathering in which hair transplant industry experts and doctors meet and share new findings we learned that hair multiplication may be years away before it can be a viable solution for hair loss, if ever. The latest findings presented by Intercytex, which is known to be the leading corporation in hair cloning research, announced that they haven’t even completed phase two of their hair multiplication study.

Earlier, Intercytex announced that their research team had completed phase two and were about to start on phase three. Apparently, there must’ve been some type of miscommunication. Intercytex’s latest announcement is a step back for the hair transplant industry and means we are not as far along in our hair cloning research as we had thought.

For those who are eagerly waiting for hair multiplication to become a reality, it means they’ll have to wait even longer, if it ever even becomes a reality.

Whenever any new type of medical treatment is being examined and tested, researchers must put the particular type of treatment through several phases to gauge the efficacy and safety of it. Phase three of a study is when a few human subjects are voluntarily subjected to the new type of treatment for an extended period of time to make certain of the long-lasting effects and safety of it.

Intercytex did not talk about the reason for which phase two of the hair multiplication research wasn’t completed. Now that we know how much progress has been made on hair cloning, we can be assured it will be at least eight years before hair multiplication is a possibility. At US Hair Transplant, we’ve teamed together with ISHRS to figure out another type of stem cell hair research. Our study is still in its beginning phases, but, we assure you, we will announce our hair stem cell research findings as soon as they’re made available.
