Category: Hair Cloning

Dr. Rassman,

I know that you have replied to a few posts in relation to hair cloning about timeline etc. My question isn’t about when the procedure will be available, but when you think the procedure will be perfected.

In other words, when do you think that a man suffering from extensive baldness (with hair available for cloning at the back and sides) will be able to walk into a clinic and have his hair cloned so that he can have a full head of hair that looks completely natural?

I really have no way to tell how long something like this actually will take to be perfected (nor would anyone know precisely how long it would take to perfect hair cloning), but my guess is ten to twenty years.

I find it very hard to believe that someone has not found a way to grow back hair consistently on a persons head. Hell, we can clone a human, but not regrow some hair? I am thinking that there is too much money to be made with all the bogus pills and lotions, not to mention the expensive transplants and “wigs”. The solution is probably too simple and inexpensive, so it has been shelved by the powers that be…just a thought….

Maybe a little research on your part and we can get rich together. Please, when you find the solution, I would love to participate with you on building an industry here.

Hair multiplication has been successfully done in animals and also in human volunteers. Some researchers have succeeded in making two hairs out of one, but the two hairs have less value than the one that it came from. It still needs to go through additional research to make two be better than one. Hair cloning also has been successfully done, but it has been inconsistent, non-commercial and certainly not for human use at this time. Just be patient and we all should know the result of the research in less than 10 years one way or another (at least that is what is being projected for a solution timeline).

If in fact intercytex is only a few years away from a permanent fix for baldness, when is a good time for us bald guys to invest in their stock so we can not only get hair but also make a absolute killing on the stock market ?

Good question and I wish I knew the answer. This company has many good products and appears to be a good investment on their main line offerings. Be sure to check them out properly. If you believe that the company will live or die on cloning hair, don’t hold your breath.

Hello

As far as I understand the three main obstacles with hair cloning are:

1) unpredictable direction of growth
2) unpredictable density
3) unpredictable quality

Cant all these problems be solved by first injecting the multiplied cells to a different part of your body (for instance the back of you upper leg), wait for the hair to grow out (in a wild unpredictable pattern), and finally transplanting the new hair esthetically to your scalp like you perform an ordinary transplant surgery?

It is not that simple. I was told that the mice that had it done as you suggested (in the late 1980s), had died from overwhelming infection. I wish I could track down a published source to back that up. The answer is far more complex, but this is not the place to write a book on the subject.

Sounds like a lot of hype and very early promotion. No meat on the bone in this article, but the picture is nice.

Hello,
If hair multiplication becomes reality one day, can it still be performed on hair where strip transplantation has been done before? Thanks. Regards !

The way the research is going, hair follicular units that have intact stem cells will be taken out of the scalp from the permanent zone. One hair will make many hairs and therefore, as long as you have some donor hair left, hair multiplication, when it is available, will be able to be done on people who had previous hair transplants. Just don’t hold your breath for the technology to come about anytime soon.
