    Default ACell, Stem Cells and PRP- Are We Really Getting Closer To a Cure For Hair Loss?

    According To Gary Hitzig, M.D., if Acell’s Matristem for hair restoration works as predicted, many*men and women suffering with common androgenic alopecia will no longer be forced live their*lives feeling uncomfortable in their own skin. His prediction: in one to two years it will all be over. However, many experts in the field have far less*exuberance [...]

    I certainly hope he's right, I think Acell/PRP injections may be the answer to save miniturizing hairs but how long would each treatment last? How often would you need the treatment?

    All we have is Dr Hitzig's word.

    The way he explained the theory behind it is very convincing, and in my mind it should work. But at the moment that is just all we have: theory and Dr Hitzig's word.

    I think generally all new advancements are met with both excitement, and anger because we know that history has told us that all new breakthroughs have just been a false hope and would us all up.

    I would like to hear some other Drs comment on his injection methods, like perhaps Dr Cooley who I believe he must be working closely with.

    guys lets becareful that Dr Hitzig's comments were not taken out of context. the question that was asked of him was very vague to start with in that when would a cure be available so the answer given by Dr Hitzig was also very vague. perhaps spencer could have explored this in greater detail.
    as we know a cure means different things to different people. someone who has just started thinning is only looking to keep whats there, someone who is half way to be bald wants to keep what they have plus need regrowth. someone who is bald only want regrowth.
    so when he answered 1-2 years was it for all these scenarios or for one only ? and what would be the effective treat for each scenario.

    Agreed, therefore i stick with positive thinking and wont pay that much attention to attacks.

    Lets wait and see how the results will fit in. But right now i say we are on a fast and good way

    They need to get Hitzig and Cooley to work with Cotsarelis ASAP! They need to start sharing their ideas to get this shit poppin quick. Hopefully Kobren is doing something about creating that contact NOW.

    I listened to the interview and yes he said the 1-2 years thing, BUT he also said you can get your hair back if you still have some. So what about all the slick bald NW6-7s??? Curing those beginning to loose hair and NW2-4 is exellent but not the final victory imo

    That's why im confused because if they would be able to put the stem cells into work, reactivating PROGENITOR cells, than why would they not grow hair even if you are NW7??? I saw another video on ABC where they were talking about Cotsarelis discovery and the dude said it would grow hair in every case. It's just a matter of getting those PROGENITOR cells back in action. I could be wrong but it makes sense.
