How do you determine if a
patient is a good candidate for HM ? Will there be a preliminary test to
evaluate if a patient is responsive to the treatment ? Do you test HM on a small
area on the patient to see if it works before you perform something more
extensive ?
This
is confidential. All I can tell you is that the evaluation process is very
efficient and does not cause any damage to your existing hair or scalp.
Can HM benefit men and women
with diffuse androgenetic alopecia?
If
we know for a fact that the diffuse thinning is caused by androgenetic alopecia,
than HM should be able to help. The problem is that the medical community has
only recently started to investigate androgenetic alopecia in the form of
diffuse thinning in men and as of now, still very little is known about this
condition. So far diffuse thinning in men is commonly linked to internal immune
deficiency.
Will HM work on scar tissue
from past hair transplant procedures ?
I
have not tested HM on scar tissue. Until further tests are conducted, Follicle
Transplantation would be the most effective for scar wounds.
How can you identify proper
donor hair if someone just started losing his hair ?
Again,
the evaluation process is confidential. Please refer to answer above.
Would your treatment work
for people who have suffered from hair loss due to Accutane treatment or Vitamin
A overdose? Or, in general, would it work for people who have suffered from drug
induced hairloss (if drug treatment has stopped)?
My
clinical trials were not conducted on test subjects with medications induced
baldness. I will not be able to tell unless I run a new trials with a different
group of test subjects.
Will the process of
extracting hairs and determining their fitness for HM have an problem with
follicles currently active by Propecia or Minoxidil ? In order words, does
someone taking any kind of hair growth agent make identifying DHT resistant hair
follicles more difficult ?
Not
likely. But clinically speaking, it would be very difficult to distinguish
normal hair growth vs hair growth induced by Propecia or Minoxidil. This will
not be an easy task. In any case, I do not think this would be an issue.
Consider a man who is
extensively bald with diffuse androgenetic alopecia so that he even has very
little DHT resistant hair on his sides and back. Can you give him a full head of
hair at a reasonable cost and in a reasonable time.
As
I said before, the problem lies in whether we can properly diagnose that the
diffuse thinning is a result of androgenetic alopecia and not other causes. So
far very little is known about androgenetic alopecia in the form of diffuse
thinning in men. If it is indeed androgenetic alopecia, then HM will very likely
be able to help.
The permanent hair at the
sides and back are somewhat miniaturized in men who have extensive baldness. Are
these miniaturized permanent hair suitable for culturing and if so, will the new
hair inherit the characteristics of these miniaturized permanent hair and stay
thin ?
I
cannot answer this. I have not tested HM on patients with this condition yet.
Would HM be effective on
areas that have been damaged by regular use of minoxidil, commonly referred to
as minoxidil burns ? The symptoms usually include severe scalp irritations,
itch, excessive flakes or dandruff etc.
I
cannot answer this. I have not tested HM on patients with this condition yet.
Will hair texture, hair color, or
ethnicity of the test subjects have any correlation with HM
results?
No correlation according to my test
subjects.
