I was impressed with the product used in this study. I don’t know if it is available in the US

I have heard of a technique called auto-cloning performed by Dr. Gary Hitzig in New York, New York. He tweezes beard hair under the chin which leaves part of the root to regrow and part of the hairs root stays with the tweezed hair to grow in the transplanted area. I would be very interested in having this procedure performed to thicken my mustache both because of my limited donor hair and for having the thickness and texture of beard hair. Facial hair and body hair transplants are becoming increasingly common why is this technique not more popular as it solves many problems for people who have limited donor hair? Is there a problem with this technique?
My medical group had tried to repeat the work after we heard about it from the doctor who said that he invented the technique. We did it just as he said it was to be done, and as was expected, the results were essentially a complete failure to grow hair. As far as I am aware, nobody has proven this technique or published the method in a peer reviewed journal for confirmation, which says a great deal about credibility. If it worked, I am sure that the technique would be available everywhere, because it infers that you get two hairs for one (hair replication)… something that has not been done by any other.
I also look to the credibility of the ‘inventor’ and via Google, I turned up with the following links:

After 5 years, this patient came to see me to show me the transition of his new look. Considering the degree of balding he had when he came in, his results were spectacular. He did comment that no one ever noticed the change from a bald look to this hairy look. That is what surprised him most. The two pictures tell the story without words.
Is hair thickness dependent on which phase it is in right now? The hair I shed is much different than the hair I can cut off. It is less pigmented, much thinner, and less robust. I mean MUCH thinner and not just some but all of them. Is this normal? Are hairs in telogen thinner than in the anagen phase?
When a hair miniaturizes, it becomes less thick, losing its mass. It also loses its pigment, becoming white, and it often stops growing. This hair may just hang there for a long time, not contributing to your overall hair mass.

I am a 37 year old black male. I have recently been getting bald spots on the back of my head, right behind my ears only. My hair is very coarse and for this reson I have been relaxing my hair for over 15 years but never received any bald spots. Right before the balding occurred there was intense itching
Could you have scratched too hard as to cause traction alopecia (hair loss from pulling or scratching)? Send me pictures to the address on the Contact page (please reference this post).

Hi,
I just wanted to share with you our latest infographic: Bald Power
Feel free to give me a shout if you need an alternative sized version for you blog. Hope you like it!
Feedback appreciated.
I meant to post this a little while ago, but it slipped through the cracks. The graphic is quite large, so click the image at right to see the full size.
I haven’t looked at photos of Congress members for myself, but does your graphic account for thinning hair or strictly those that are bald? The infographic is nice if your numbers are right, but you spelled “United” wrong twice.
The presence of balding in the 5-8% range amongst members of the legislators (more men than women) is much less than the general population. In men, the balding rate (some degree of hair loss) is about 50% in men over 45, the age of most of our legislators. Except for Eisenhower, there has not been a bald president since before World War II.
I have written before that men with hair on the head have a better chance at getting elected than balding men. There is considerable prejudice against balding men in the population, and I’ve written about that here and here.
