Well, after waiting 5 years and seeing some but not to much progress in new hair restoration studies I've decided that I'm going to step in and start doing my own hands on study/research.
The purpose of this thread is to stir up some discussion on the topic that could add to any success later on. What the plan is is to extract a few ml of blood from myself, centrifuge it to separate the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma, extract A.A.A stem cells from the permanent donor area of the scalp, incubate and multiply the cells and inject both the PRP+A.A.A cells into the receding hairline.
Only one injection will be made along the receding hairline to observe any changes to miniaturized follicles or new vellus hairs. If new vellus hairs emerge, a similar injection will be made in a bald region to see if new vellus hairs can be coaxed into life. *Traumatizing the area with a derma roller pre/post injection could increase the chances of stimulating hair regrowth.*
Currently, I'm debating the best way to harvest the stem cells. Whether a hair follicle will need to be punched out and dissected or if they can be extracted leaving the hair follicle to live on.
So, what is your take on this? If positive results are made, what other compounds do you feel should/need to be added to increase and maintain hair regrowth?
The experiment will start in January after more research is done while I collect the proper equipment.
(I realize a similar method can be used to collect and culture fibroblasts to inject them into the dermis to help repair collagen/elastin. This would make your face look younger so I will look into combining both treatments. There is already a company selling this treatment so this backs up my idea that histogen, aderans, or replicel should be out within 2-3 years.)
