their results are published in a journal. growth factors have been used for a while now in cosmetic products and as injections for skin and wrinkles. there are topical that contain them for hair but as an injection there isn't any. it would be similar to PRP.prp contain lots of growth factors. I guess multiple injections is required but with 2500$ it is a ripoff, not to mention the concentration of the GFs is low.

Interesting. How do they extract the fat? I immediately have a a picture of some big ass needle in you stomach. Ghhhhh. The pictures look okay but guys most of the patients in the pics are of female patients. Regrowth is visible but moderate, I believe one would need additional HTs...Comment

This has been around a while. If it grew hair as well as they say, it would be all over the news. The media will take any bit of information about MPB research and broadcast it as the cure in hopes of generating readership. For god's sake, scalp tattoo's was headline news just a few weeks ago. Don't you think if a company was truly getting results like this every major news outlet would have covered the story?
Sorry to say, this looks a lot like every other scam that we've seen in the past. This one has a particularly good/legitimate facade. But, it doesn't change the hard fact that it's been around years and we've not seen a single high def picture or video or heard from the researchers themselves.Comment

I seem to recall one published article I read involving researchers studying adipose stem cell activity in connection with hair growth and they said that there is some protein or something else inside fat cells that signal hair follicles to grow hair. They weren't talking about Histogen-like growth factors. They were talking about something else but I can't remember what it was.
It was not in the study that we are all looking at in this thread. Yes, I'm aware that the study in this thread does talk about growth factors, but I'm just saying that there's another study out there saying that it's a protein or something like that in the adipiose fat cells that tells follicles to grow hair.
I'll try to find that study. It looked pretty credible. And the study in this thread also looks credible, although I do have some concerns about who are the doctors who did the research in the study in this thread, and do they have a stake in the results of the study.Comment

In the study it looks like they injected a high dose of these substances and they did so repeatedly. So if they are using a low dose in the product then of course that dramatically reduces the chances of the product working. You have to use the same dose that proved effective in the study and you have to get it into the skin in the same vehicle.Comment

I've been in touch with that company and managed to get this presentation on 'AQ Solution' from them.
See what you think, the hair part is at the end.

4 treatment sessions within 3–4 months induced
considerable increases in hair growth.Comment

You can buy that from here - http://www.aqskinsolutions.com/advanced-hair-complex/
But it seems different to the AAPE stuff from the original presentation.Comment
