AutoCloning

The American Society For Dermatological Surgery has requested that Dr. Hitzig present his work at their International Meeting in October of this year. The attempts at cloning human hair have proven more challenging than originally thought. Since human hair has two genetic sources, it seems reasonable to create two growing hairs from one.

Objective:
To use the heartier beard hairs as a source for successful hair duplication.

Methods:
A tweezing protocol was developed to successfully remove the hair shaft and bulb while leaving the follicle in place. These heartier "hairs" were then re-implanted into balding defined areas of the scalp and followed over time.
 

Immediately postoperative

Results:
Hair regrowth of the heartier hairs was observed in both the donor and recipient areas.

3 months postoperative

8 months postoperative


Conclusion:
Autologous hair replication utilizing the heartier beard hairs is viable.
