Well...if this were to be confirmed...it would be ground breaking.
It would basically allow for yearly FUE transplants to "fix" things.

Hopefully, we get some empirical confirmations.

Dear mr. yo



Referring to our E-mail, I hereby send you some more information about our new improved method of hair transplantation, HairStemcell Transplantation® and our institute. Maybe you have read something on the internet or our website already.



Hair Science Institute, located in Amsterdam, Maastricht, London and Vienna, is a research, development treatment and training institute that develops new treatment methods in the field of hair restoration in association with Prof.dr. H.A.M. Neumann, head of the dermatological department at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.



In my previous (fundamental as well as clinical) studies, I revealed that the whole follicle is not needed to regenerate hair growth. If a portion of the follicle remains in the donor area, it can regenerate a new hair, even when a part of the follicle is removed. The part, which has been removed, will also produce a hair when transplanted into the recipient area. So, one hair follicle is able to produce more hairs (see attached scientific publication in the British Journal of Dermatology).



Our specially developed instruments and experience of our staff makes it possible to put this knowledge into practice with the new technique of HairStemcell Transplantation® (see attachment in the Journal of Dermatologic treatment).



We are the only clinic (in the world) who is able to perform the HairStemcell Transplantation. This is because we use custom-made materials and instruments, which makes it is impossible to use these materials and instruments in other locations than in one of our own facilities. These materials and instruments are also under continuous development, therefore, it has no use to train medical staff other then medical staff for our own clinics.



With HairStemcell Transplantation® we use a needle of 0.5 up to 0.6 mm to extract only a minimal piece of tissue. The tissue contains a very small part of the hair stem cells, but sufficient to produce a new hair.



We leave far more tissue behind in the donor area, and therefore the chance of re-growth is higher compared to the other techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction or Follicular Multiplication. The rate of multiplication is therefore higher compared to the other techniques. Because with the other techniques, frequently, too much follicular tissue is extracted from the donor area, so only the graft will generate a new hair.



This means that in the future, after the treatment, the hairs in the donor area can be cut short, without any visible density loss and without scars.



Due to the re-growth of hair in the donor area of at least 70 to 80% and the fact that there are no residual scars, the donor area (following recovery) can be used again. Especially in burn victims, where the donor area is limited, this is very important. This method in burn victims has been described in the attached article in Burns.



In the reception area, holes are also made with the same size needle as used for extracting the grafts. Because of this, the grafts (which consists of 2-3 hairs) fits perfectly in the holes. There will be no scars in the reception area. Other advantages are better and faster (wound) healing and a higher hair density because we can place the grafts closer to each other. Anaesthesia is painless and also after the treatment you will experience no pain.



With HairStemcell Transplantation, it is also possible to restore the eyebrows or beard.

Pictures of the donor area and the difference between FUE and HST can be found on our website. (KNOWLEDGE CENTER -> TREATMENT MODALITIES -> SURGICAL -> HairStemcell Transplantation and the difference between FUE and HST). I also attached our brochure in English, so you can read more about our technique.

At the moment one HST treatment costs between €4400,- (600-700 grafts) to €7.900,- (1200-1400 grafts). Sometimes we can extract more than 2000 grafts, but this is dependent on the donor area. Each graft may contain 1 to 4 individual hairs. The average is 2.5 hairs per graft, so the number of hair follicles after one treatment day is between 1750 and 3500 hairs. However, the number of grafts we can and/or will obtain depends on the quality of the skin and follicles, the size of the recipient area and also the wishes of the client. At the moment, we don't advice to extract more than 2000 grafts, since this will damage the donor area to much, and will inhibit the re-growth in this area.
