Yes my apologies. I was trying a new sound setup, and it sounded fine while we were recording, but clearly it was a failure. I will do better next interview!

Several presentations on this topic were given at a recent World Congress in Denver this past October 2024, but other than general optimism, no specific advances were reported.

@BobDerm In your opinion, Doctor, is cloning a zygote possible or is it complicated and impossible?

I am embarrassed to agree with you. I tried a new microphone setup and while it sounded good live, the recording was not good. I will try to not let that happen again!

Atleast 10 years

Actually its much easier to clone an entire goat, or an entire human for that matter, than to clone a heart or a liver or a hair follicle. The cellular instructions to grow just a part of the whole are extremely complex, and has not been done successfully. If it was possible to do that, there would be no waiting lists for hearts or kidneys or other organs for those in need.

Great question. Certainly the hope is that either full hair follicles are grown in a lab that can be transplanted, or a process where a microdroplet is injected and grows a cosmetically satisfyingly hair. The alternative is to grow non-cosmetically satisfying hairs that would have to be harvested and re-implanted. This would add cost and scarring to the procedure.

@@hairtransplantroadshow That would be fantastic. I would be particularly interested in the injectable microdroplet technique to generate hair follicles from scratch with cells, as I believe that this technique would have more advantages than the grafted technique, such as being less invasive and having a faster recovery time. I am looking forward to being able to use this technique in the near future, within a few years, so that I can perform it.

@@ÁngelSaadaliRonco22 It will most likely take 15 years for such technology to arrive.

@watchandenjoy9916 Yes true, totally agree with you:)

Perhaps the best outcome would be the ability to inject tiny droplets into a hairless area, and cosmetically satisfactory hairs would grow without needing any other procedure. If that is ever possible, it probably won't be the first success, but rather be a future refinement.

Thank you! Many "techniques" are actually just gimmicks. The sapphire blade is just that, a type of blade. Every surgeon has preferred blades and harvesting equipment. The surgeon, not the device or blade, will determine success, so look at the experience and credentials of the surgeon and not the marketing words.

@@hairtransplantroadshow Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and for providing these invaluable educational resources to the hair loss community. Your dedication to delivering unbiased, credible, and ethical information to empower patients in making informed decisions is truly admirable. I genuinely appreciate your efforts and look forward to connecting with you soon.

Thank you!

Unfortunately not for a few years yet.

@@hairtransplantroadshow can we have it in 15 years ?

@@Jokerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'll do my best to make that happen!

@@hairtransplantroadshowlegend 💪

In general you are correct. There may be a small population of dormant follicles that can be revived, but even that is more theory than reality at this time.

Personally I don't believe that yet. There is some evidence of dormancy but more proof is needed.

@@hairtransplantroadshow thank you for your response. i've heard/seen some crazy stories of people's hair suddenly growing back after decades of having none, so i suppose anything is possible, but i'm more inclined to believe people have the - potential - for hair follicles in certain areas, even if they've lost hair in those areas, rather than the follicles sitting there, dormant. but that's just me. thanks again.

@@michaelvescovo the market for wigs is actually bigger than transplants but that’s starting to change. Think about it, it’s easier to sell someone on a $300 wig. The sticker shock is much lower (monthly payments), there’s no scary surgery, and you get instant gratification (can go to work/wedding/school reunion looking amazing). But you get that $300 every three months forever (because who would stop paying to end up REALLY bald). The math is much better for aderans and worse for the customer over the long run but it’s all about that smaller payment compared to $10k+ upfront fee, fear of pain/surgery, long recovery time (not good if you’re trying to keep it a secret). With the rise of social media, potential customers feel more informed and comfortable about a HT and it’s becoming more acceptable to get hair transplants so it’s less embarrassing to head back to work or go to an event if you’re hair hasn’t fully grown in. No more shame in letting people know you had a hair transplant.

Neither do I, but very capable researchers are spending lots of money to bring this to fruition. We just need to be patient.

I’m 42 and I’ve been waiting since I was 25

@@hairtransplantroadshow The issue is that all scientists working on this are not bald. Put one bald guy on this project and you will get it within a year.

​@@jz1607😂😂😂😂

Don't wait it will never come

I joke that we are always told that success is five years away. We were told that 25 years ago as well as five years ago. Hopefully at some point that will be an accurate prediction.

​@@BobDermMinimum how many years will it take to hit the market.

Good question. At least five years.

@hairtransplantroadshow Any other permanent treatments that will be available before hair cloning?

Not a bad idea!

By internal medicine , I would get more hematologists and immunologists also involved in the research efforts .

I'm not aware of any method that would increase the number of hairs that a follicle produces. Can you provide me with a link to the procedure by Dr. Karadeniz please?

@@BobDerm th-cam.com/video/2zebdXQevCk/w-d-xo.html&si=FuVR1nuEDuPU_62A If its true and factible, I think this could be refined for a total practice in HT to preserve the donor area

🤔

​ What it means bro?

@@BobDerm try to look for dr Karadeniz Ive sent you the link but TH-cam baned it, I think so

There are several approaches to cell therapy that are briefly mentioned in Part 3 and there are labs around the world all adding to the knowledge base.

Yes that's correct. Stemson is located in San Diego, and the hope is that this partnership will be fruitful.

I'll let Ken Washenik and the other researchers know!

@@BobDermand a few kisses hahah thanks

I think if someone had a patent for this, they'd be the first trillionaire

I’ll pay 30 grand

Me too!!!!!

never, Stemson th failed it is game over for hair cloning

I agree that turning a single follicle into hundreds is the "holy grail," but how can this ever become a reality without ongoing research?

@@BobDerm Sir, tell me is there any hope? Humans can do that or not?

Of course there is hope! But it will be years before it is available and thus will benefit younger people rather than older folks.

@@hairtransplantroadshow When is it expected to be available, and at what age exactly can we benefit from this cure?

@@hairtransplantroadshow Has hair growth multiplication been successful so far based on your pieces of information in the US in the research centers?

And what about the hair rejuvenation he is talking about?

Part 1 focused on the past. Part 2 will discuss the present, and Part 3 will focus on future developments. Stay tuned!

​​@@BobDerm Do you know when part 2 will be releasde within the next week or later? Also a video I would recommened is from KwRX in which he talks with Dr. William Rassman about similare topics Maybe in the future you could also talk with someone from amplifica.

I think two weeks between each episode. I will look for that video.

​@@BobDerm Have you looked into amplifica?
