Hair follicle banking is now available at Anderson Center for Hair in Atlanta. This new offering allows individuals to preserve their hair follicles for future use in hair cloning and other regenerative treatments and positions Anderson Center for Hair as one of five hair follicle banking centers globally.

“Hair stem cell quality and number decrease with age,” said Dr. Ken Anderson, founder of Anderson Center for Hair. “Banking early ‘stops the clock’ and retains high stem cell activity. Hair cloning has the potential to make hair loss history, and we’re excited to be part of it.”

What is Hair Follicle Banking?

Hair follicle banking involves surgically extracting around 100 to 120 hair follicles Anderson Center for Hair’s Atlanta hair restoration clinic. These follicles are then cryopreserved at extremely low temperatures, placing the stem cells in a state of “suspended animation” where they do not age. This process ensures that the follicles retain their youthful vigor, making them an invaluable resource for future hair cloning and hair restoration treatments.

Key Benefits of Hair Follicle Banking

• Youthful Stem Cells: Hair follicles are cryopreserved at temperatures so low that all cellular activity stops, ensuring that the stem cells do not age and remain as viable as the day they were stored.
• Patient Ownership: The preserved follicles remain the property of the patient and can be requested at any time for HairClone’s stem cell therapy or other potential treatments.
• Multiple Treatments: A single hair follicle banking procedure in Atlanta provides enough follicles for multiple treatments, offering long-term benefits.
• Priority Access: Those with banked follicles will be first in line for HairClone’s personalized hair cloning stem cell therapy as soon as regulatory approval is obtained.
