5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hair follicle cloning is already possible
Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.
community Has anyone here actually undergone experimental (grey market) hair cell therapy/follicle cloning?
Hair cell therapy and follicle cloning are still in experimental stages, with treatments like hair multiplication and regenerative hair therapy being marketed but not yet proven to create unlimited new follicles. There is skepticism about the effectiveness and legitimacy of these treatments, with some considering them scams.
community Realistic timeline for hair regeneration and follicle cloning?
Hair regeneration and follicle cloning are considered far from being feasible, with current treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants expected to remain dominant for the next 15-20 years. Some are hopeful that AI advancements might accelerate progress, but many remain skeptical about significant breakthroughs in the near future.
community How far away are we from scalp/hair follicle cloning for an essentially unlimited transplant supply? And would prior transplants affect eligibility?
Hair/scalp cloning for unlimited transplants is likely a decade away, with prior transplants not significantly affecting future options. Advances in AI and research in wound-induced hair neogenesis are promising, but infrastructure and technology constraints remain challenges.
community Why not move miniaturized hair follicles somewhere else to treat them? Alternative to hair cloning?
Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
