Dermal Papilla Cell and Dermal Sheath Cup Cell Expansion and Implantation<\/h2>\n
The two biggest newly available hair loss treatments that I have covered on this blog during the past few years are as follows:<\/p>\n
Prior to its arrival, I followed Shiseido\u2019s progress for well over a decade, including its ex-partner RepliCel (Canada)\u2019s original work. Of most significance, Shiseido\u2019s DSC cell multiplication technology went through all three phases of clinical trials with no reported major side effects. So I have no hesitation in recommending it to those with the wherewithal. Unfortunately, for the time being, it remains almost exclusively limited to Japanese citizens.<\/p>\n
I have also followed HairClone\u2019s DP cell expansion work for over a decade (even longer when including past work from Intercytex). In contrast to Shiseido\u2019s procedure, HairClone\u2019s procedure should be available to most people from around the world before the end of 2027. Patients can already get their hair follicles extracted and banked at various HairClone partner clinics around the world. However, they will ultimately need to travel to Guatemala to get the cultured and expanded DP cells injected into their scalps.<\/p>\n
Combination DP Cell and DSC Cell Hair Multiplication<\/h3>\n
Over the years, I have read a few studies in which they mention that a combination of<\/a> multiplying and transplanting both<\/strong> DP cells and DSC cells to regrow hair is more effective than doing each procedure separately. So I was quite excited to see both the Shiseido and HairClone technologies becoming available. Sooner or later, someone will surely manage to get both treatments.<\/p>\n However, out of the blue, a few months ago I read about and wrote about Medeze Group<\/a> (Thailand). They started to offer Asia\u2019s first hair follicle banking and cultivation service in 2025. Moreover, they were planning to culture both DP cells and DSC cells for subsequent injections into patient scalps. And they were partnering with Shibuya Company of Japan to implement the world\u2019s first robotic culture system.<\/p>\n Although Medeze Group\u2019s CEO has presented at reputable conferences and given a number of interviews to western publications, I was still skeptical about their progress. I felt like this was yet another hair multiplication related over-promise (in terms of speed of delivery)\u00a0from an Asian company. Just like we have seen with South Korea\u2019s Epibiotech<\/a> and Han Bio<\/a>. So I did not expect to cover Medeze Group again for several years, if ever. And of course the biggest drawback is that they have never conducted any clinical trials.<\/p>\n Since this blog\u2019s inception in 2013, I have written just a handful of posts that were entirely driven by a reader\u2019s personal experiences. For obvious reasons, I want to avoid anecdotal content. But there are always exceptions to the rule.<\/p>\n Over the last few months, long-time blog reader \u201cAlvaro\u201d went to Switzerland and Thailand to get his hair follicles banked and his loss treated. He made his decision based on the posts I have written about HairClone and Medeze Group. I would urge readers to never make such important decisions based solely on my content!<\/p>\n In any event, I am very excited to see Alvaro\u2019s results in the coming year. Alvaro sent me all the details of his treatment (see below) as well as a bunch of photos, three of which I have added in this post.<\/p>\n On January 26, 2026, Alvaro got his hair follicles banked at HairClone\u2019s Switzerland-based partner Clinique de la Croix d\u2019Or in Geneva. They extracted 100 of his scalp hair follicles and sent them to HairClone\u2019s cryopreservation bank in Guatemala (at their partner Schambach Hair Clinic). This cost him 4,000 Euros.<\/p>\n Thereafter, on February 9, 2026, Alvaro had a video call appointment with Dr. Schambach who was at her clinic in Guatemala. He begged her to let him participate in their \u201cclinical trial\u201d. However, they told him that because he previously received a hair transplant, he wouldn\u2019t be selected as a candidate. So it seems like HairClone\u2019s DP cell hair multiplication procedure is still only available via participation in a trial.<\/p>\n In any event, the persistent Alvaro then contacted the Medeze Clinic in Thailand after reading about it in my blog post. Originally, he was hoping to get his banked cryopreserved hair follicles in Guatemala transferred to Thailand. However, after he contacted HairClone (or the Schambach Clinic) and told them his new plans, they told him that they could now treat him for 9,000 Euros. Please note that I have not verified all of this with the company, and am just posting what Alvaro is claiming.<\/p>\n At this point, Alvaro just decided that it would be cheaper and more logical to get his hair follicles extracted and banked again in Thailand. And then multiplied and injected back into his scalp in Thailand at the same Medeze Clinic. Quote from Alvaro:<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s the best thing I\u2019ve ever done (I\u2019ll always be grateful to you, administrator). At this clinic, the price is adjusted to the number of cells the patient needs, and they also multiply both DP and DSC cells. When I traveled there, I didn\u2019t know anything about Bangkok, and Anya, the patient relations manager, arranged for cars to take me to the clinic, personally invited me to lunch, and picked me up herself in her car several times. They showed me the laboratory and the cryopreservation bank, and introduced me to all the people who work there. It\u2019s a 100% safe and effective clinic. The medical team, the doctors, have always explained the process to me from the very beginning, and finally, yesterday, I traveled to Thailand for the second time and received the injections. I\u2019d be happy to share photos of my progress throughout the process with the administrator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Alvaro also said the following:<\/p>\n Before anyone gets an urge to fly out to Thailand to get their hair multiplication procedure, please note that:<\/p>\n Having said the above, since the procedure is \u201cautologous\u201d, serious side effects are unlikely (though there is never any guarantee). I would not write this post if they were using someone else\u2019s expanded DP cells and DSC cells and injecting them into your scalp. i.e., an allogeneic<\/a> procedure.<\/p>\nAlvaro gets his own Expanded DP Cells and DSC Cells Injected into his Scalp at Medeze<\/h4>\n
