In collaboration with Metras, a Japanese medical device distributor,

Under the governmental support of about 500 million won for 2 years.




(PROTEMICS=June. 05. 2017)



Prostemics (KOSDAQ 203690, CEO Lee Won Jong) develops ‘anti hair loss treatment spray using plasma anion technology’ with a Japanese medical distributor.



The company announced that it made a joint development contract for the ‘hair loss treatment spray using plasma technology’ with Metras on June 5.



Metras will sell the product in Japan after the completion of development, and the Korean government will sponsor 500 million won for 2 years.



An internal person of the company said, “Using this device with our existing AAPE hair product (stem cell based hair care product), people will enjoy effective hair treatment at home like treatment in hospital



Aside from this, Prostemics will launch a plasma beauty device in August, and is also preparing a personal plasma medical device.



The company plans to expand the current business focus from the hospitals with new technology products including AAPE and the new devices to the bigger home care market and launch such products in Japan and China.

Googled these guys a bit. Seemed a bit high tech scammy tbh. Not to mention a couple of spelling and syntactical errors on their page, even tho they've been associated with the US since 2006

All your bases are belong to us. That's not unusual for a legitimate Japanese company, and I really don't see much in the way of scams coming out of that country. I think they are less selfish and more ethical there. There aren't a lot of Japanese who would be willing to back something they don't believe in. I've checked them out belt and they had some impressive pictures.

I've noticed that when it comes to Japan, there is this idea that most Japanese people are inherently wonderful, completely honest people who would never do such a thing.

Even though it's one of the most xenophobic, borderline nationalist at times, countries in the world.

They have douchebags like anywhere else and aren't inherently above scams.

Take a look at this
I see a lot of fancy stuff and the gel is supposed to contain "stem cells". Both red flags. But there's also dermarolling which is legit sort of. Seems like one of those treatments that you can only get on hairy scalp cause it "doesn't work" on a cue ball and then you can't easily tell if there was any growth or if you're just imagining things.

Nothing works on a cue ball, not even minoxidil.

Probably because they don't want the rest of us unethical a-holes ruining their country.

It's stem cell derived, there's nothing wrong with that. The rest of the stuff is just fluff though.

There's certainly scams in Japan too, it's just less widespread, so I tend to be more open to something if it comes out of Japan rather than from a Nigerian prince.

Noo. They just realise that Japan belongs to the Japanese and not the whole world. We should take note unless we want to end up like the 3rd world.

I believe their AAPE products contains growth factors and are derived from adipose tissue from humans. They are a KOSDAQ listed company and their packaging etc is extremely professional.

They also need to be refrigerated etc.

How much can these growth factors really do though?

Look at other "similar" treatments such as PRP, Kerastem, Histogen etc.

This medical device seems to be based on low power plasma technology or something. Do I believe it's going to be big? Nope.

But worth looking at and I salute them for actually trying to do something and actually releasing stuff.
