Cosmetic Hair Replication

Cosmetic Hair Replication or Hair Cloning has shown that cells from hair follicles can be isolated from a donor and injected into the skin of the patient, creating new, intact hair. However, this treatment is still at the development stage.

Do you remember Dolly the sheep, the first animal that was cloned using somatic cells? Hair cloning is nothing as complicated as Dolly as it is not about duplicating an army of new hair follicles because hair follicles are small individual organs and it's very hard to be replicated as a whole outside the body. The procedure is more related to manipulating and stimulating certain special cells to trigger new hairs and promote existing hair growth.

This procedure may become a viable option at some point in the future but at present, the method is relatively untested, has no regulation, no standardised safety policies and no quality control. We strongly advise customers to approach companies offering hair cloning services with caution, as we do not believe the complex technology behind hair cloning is ready to be offered freely to the open market.
