About HairClone

HairClone is an innovative service designed to help patients preserve their hair follicles for future use. In the same way that many parents save their children’s stem cells at birth, you now have the opportunity to preserve your hair follicle stem cells for the future. By banking young, healthy hair follicles today, you can ensure that they are available for personalized hair restoration treatments as advancements in regenerative medicine continue to develop. As hair cloning technology is perfected, patients who took the step to bank their follicles early will be able to leverage their preserved, healthy stem cells to create new hair. Hair follicle banking represents the future of hair restoration, offering hope and new possibilities for those experiencing hair loss.

Why bank your hair follicles?

Preserve Healthy Follicles Now for Future Use

As we age, our hair follicles naturally weaken and shrink, reducing their ability to regenerate. Your hair follicles will never be younger than they are right now. By banking your hair follicles now, while they are still healthy, you can preserve them at their peak condition. This gives you the option to utilize them in future treatments, potentially halting or completely reversing hair loss, allowing you to regrow a completely full head of your own hair.

Halt the Aging Process of Hair Follicles

HairClone’s state-of-the-art cryopreservation techniques freeze your hair follicles at their current state, effectively halting the aging process. This means that when you are ready to restore your hair, your follicles will be as vibrant and healthy as the day they were banked.

Prepare for Personalized Hair Restoration

By banking your follicles, you are investing in the future of hair restoration. Every day, research teams worldwide are dedicated to advancing the science needed to make hair follicle cloning a reality. As scientific research continues to evolve, the potential for personalized treatments using your own banked follicles will become increasingly viable. Whether through cellular therapy or follicle regeneration, your banked follicles could be the key to a full, natural-looking head of hair.

How hair follicle banking works

The process is simple and minimally invasive:

  • Consultation: Meet with our experts at Anderson Center for Hair to discuss your hair restoration goals and determine if follicle banking is right for you.
  • Follicle Extraction: We will carefully extract a small number of hair follicles from the back of your scalp in the “permanent zone,” where they are most resilient and not affected by the hormone that causes hair loss, dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
  • Cryopreservation: Your follicles are then preserved using advanced cryopreservation techniques, ensuring they remain in optimal condition for future use.
  • Future Use: As new hair restoration techniques become available, your banked follicles can be thawed and used to restore your hair, giving you early access to the latest advancements in hair regeneration and maximizing your chances of having more hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is HairClone different from hair restoration surgery?

HairClone is a proactive service that allows you to bank healthy hair follicles for future use, whereas traditional hair restoration surgery involves transplanting existing hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. HairClone is about preserving your follicles today to utilize the latest hair restoration technologies as they become available in the future. Unlike surgery, which addresses immediate hair loss, HairClone is an investment in long-term hair health.

Q: Is HairClone the same as hair cloning?

No, HairClone is not the same as hair cloning. HairClone involves the banking of your existing hair follicles for future use, while hair cloning would theoretically involve creating new hair follicles from existing ones. HairClone sets the stage for future advancements that may include hair cloning, but as of now, it focuses on preserving your follicles to maintain their regenerative potential.

Q: Who is eligible for HairClone follicle banking?

HairClone is ideal for individuals who are concerned about hair loss and want to take a proactive approach to preserve their hair for future treatments. It’s particularly beneficial for those with a family history of hair loss, those noticing early signs of thinning, or anyone who wants to ensure that their hair follicles are preserved at their healthiest. Our team at Anderson Center for Hair can help you determine if follicle banking is right for you.

Q: What are the benefits of early follicle banking?

The earlier you bank your hair follicles, the healthier and more viable they will be for future use. Early banking allows you to preserve your follicles at their peak condition, which can be crucial as you age and your hair naturally thins. Additionally, it positions you to take full advantage of future hair restoration advancements as they become available, offering a personalized and potentially more effective treatment option down the line.

Q: How are the hair follicles stored?

The hair follicles are stored using advanced cryopreservation techniques. This process involves carefully freezing the follicles at ultra-low temperatures to halt their aging process, ensuring that they remain in optimal condition until they are needed for future treatments. The follicles are stored securely and can be accessed whenever you decide to proceed with restoration treatments.

Q: How long can the follicles be stored?

The cryopreservation process halts the aging of your follicles, allowing them to be stored indefinitely. This means that your follicles can be kept in storage for as long as necessary, ensuring that they are ready and available whenever you choose to undergo hair restoration procedures in the future.

Q: When will HairClone treatments be available?

HairClone is actively developing the technology to use banked follicles for personalized hair restoration treatments. While the exact timeline for these treatments depends on ongoing research and regulatory approvals, the banking process is available now. By banking your follicles today, you are ensuring that you are ready to take advantage of these treatments as soon as they become available.

Q: Are there any risks associated with HairClone?

As with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with the follicle extraction process, such as minor discomfort or temporary redness at the extraction site. However, the procedure is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated. Cryopreservation itself carries very minimal risk, as the follicles are stored under controlled conditions. Our team at Anderson Center for Hair will discuss any potential risks with you in detail during your consultation.

Q: Is HairClone right for me?

If you are concerned about hair loss and want to explore future options for hair restoration, banking your follicles now can provide a powerful tool for future treatments.
