From there web-site:


Procedure

The TrichoScience cellular replication and implantation technology grows new hair follicles in previously bald skin or areas where hair is thinning. The patent-pending procedure also rejuvenates damaged and miniaturized hair follicles in balding skin areas.

The TrichoScience procedure will offer a number of distinct and important advantages over existing surgical hair restoration treatments:



Cosmetic procedure
------------------------
that requires no invasive surgery

Grows new hair follicles
----------------------------
and is not limited by the number of donor hair follicles
that can be extracted from the patient via surgical techniques

Easily administered
-----------------------
by existing hair and dermatology clinics



Successful Trials Completed The TrichoScience procedure has proved effective in a number of tests and trials that have been conducted since 2000. Successful hair re-growth in laboratory research studies has been achieved based on the company's hair cell replication technology. Results to-date have confirmed the effectiveness of the TrichoScience procedure and its potential to become a significant and permanent solution for the hair loss market worldwide.

Advantages vs. Hair Transplant Surgery Today, traditional hair transplantation surgery typically requires the invasive surgical removal of a prominent band of hair-bearing scalp from the back of the head. This section of the scalp is then manually dissected to produce individual hair follicles which are then surgically implanted into the balding region of the scalp. Often, a number of similar surgical procedures are required to achieve the desired end result.

In effect, surgical hair transplantation merely removes and redistributes a patient's own hair follicles to cover sections of bald scalp, leaving scarring where the hair was removed. Many potential patients are rejected for hair transplant surgery because there is not enough donor hair in the back of their scalps to redistribute and cover the bald sections of their scalps.

In contrast, the TrichoScience procedure will replicate a patient's hair cells, rejuvenate miniaturized hair follicles and induce entirely new follicles to grow from balding scalp. There is no invasive surgery involved and no pain. Hair transplant surgery inflicts considerable scalp tissue damage, while the cell replication procedure will generate virtually no tissue damage. Most importantly, the TrichoScience procedure will provide something no other hair restoration treatment offers today – the ability to grow all of a patient's own hair back. Today, surgical procedures will only provide the option to redistribute hair from the back of the scalp to the front. The TrichoScience procedure will provide patients with all the new hair they want.

I shall be keeping my eyes peeled for this one. Not having high hopes though, as recent "revolutionary" treatments have been a letdown.
