Is hair cloning available yet?

And as of right now, there is no hair cloning treatment available because researchers are still working on it. By storing their hair follicular units in cryopreservation, those follicles will be available to create new hair follicle cells once the technology is working.

When can we expect hair cloning?

At this point, a realistic estimate is that we will need to wait at least until 2025 to 2027 until the first non-invasive hair multiplication technology comes to market. Moreover, there are still questions over the long-term efficacy of cloning.

What are the current methods of hair cloning?

These are: 1) Implanting Dermal Papillae cells alone, 2) Placing DP cells alongside miniaturized follicles, 3) Implanting DP cells with keratinocytes (“Proto-hairs”), and 4) Cell Implantation using a Matrix. See our Hair Cloning Methods page for descriptions and charts about current methods of study regarding hair cloning.

Is there a date for hair cloning to be available?

Hairclone have offered no date for when they expect their first patient to be able to use their stored hair cells. RepliCel Life Sciences is a company that has boasted one of the most active research programs in recent years.

What happens to hair follicles after hair cloning?

The remaining part of the hair follicle and stem cells that aren’t removed lead to the follicles regenerating themselves and growing out new hairs in the donor area.The result? Multiple transplants can be performed drawing hairs from the same donor area, in the process leading to an increase in the total number of healthy follicles on the head.

Is there a cure for alopecia with hair cloning?

Hair cloning is a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia, or common genetic hair loss that is being actively researched by pioneering hair restoration physicians, like Dr. Bernstein in conjunction with Columbia University, hoping to be the first to develop a “cure” for hair loss.
