I just came across this today.
Dr. Robert Niedbalski Offers New Hair Cloning Breakthrough at Tacoma Hair Restoration Practice. Northwest Hair Restoration is the only practice in the Pacific Northwest to offer impressive ACell hair restoration treatment. - PR11443708
Check it out I'm pretty excited is this as big as it seems?
What do you think? -
Yeah and don't you think this would be a bigger deal? I mean Niedbalski is making it seem as though hair cloning is now available. Unless we have to wait for his patient's results before the hype startsComment

Dont get your hopes up here. The majority of usage here is for FUT and woundhealing not hair multiplication in generalComment

This is such horseshit. I remember when Spencer said that we would start seeing doctors advertising hair cloning any day now afar he had Hitzig on his program to talk about Acell. Well here it is. This is not hair cloning and any doctor who promotes it that way is being dishonest and only wants to make a fast buck. That press release was intentionally misleading and dishonest.Comment

I spoke with Dr. Niedbalski a couple days ago in my attempt to find an Acell/PRP doctor near me and he never made it seem as though he was selling cloning (at least not to me). Our conversation was about reducing scarring and robust growth. He's been using it (using Dr. Hitzig's protocols) for a year prior to making the official announcement.
That said, his announcement is VERY poorly worded. I know the facts of Acell, so when I read it, I didn't think anything of it, but it can definitely be misleading to an average consumer who is desperate for an answer (as we all are).Comment

PRP + Acell Injections now available in the UK
ACell – PRP Introduced to London, UK
Posted on April 27, 2011 by admin
Leading U.S. hair restoration researcher and surgeon to bring revolutionary injectable treatment that helps regenerate hair to London cosmetic practice.
NEW YORK, NY – - Hair loss may be a thing of the past for a certain heir to the throne and commoners alike thanks to a vaccination that can help prevent and in some cases reverse hair loss. Gary Hitzig, M.D., a leading hair restoration specialist and pioneer of the ACell / platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, has been invited to instruct a group of doctors and medical professionals at The Private Clinic in May on this breakthrough in hair restoration therapy.
Dr. Hitzig’s peers, as well as the medical community at large, are following his hair restoration therapy and consistent results in both men and women experiencing genetic and other forms of hair loss. ACell has been available only in the U.S. and has five FDA allowances, but the British Medical Board recently approved the use and availability of ACell in the UK and Europe through Dr. Hitzig. The Private Clinic, the largest UK cosmetic practice, will be the first medical practice outside the U.S. to be trained in the use of ACell-PRP injections.
MatriStem MicroMatrix, a product of regenerative medicine innovator, ACell, Inc., is a wound healing powder that promotes healing and tissue growth. Dr. Hitzig has spent years researching and proving that when MatriStem MicroMatrix is combined with PRP, it can help both prevent and regenerate hair in men and women experiencing genetic hair loss.
Hitzig discovered that if you dissolve the MatriStem powder in a specialized blood serum rich in the patient’s adult stem cells and inject it into the scalp, the combination acts like a hair growth accelerator. Many hair transplant patients experienced significant hair re-growth sooner and the wound where donor hair had been taken and transplanted was completely healed with little or no signs of a scarring.
“This revolutionary injectable combination of ACell and PRP may be the answer to restoring hair growth for those in the early to moderate stages of hair loss,” said Dr. Hitzig. “Similar to how a flu shot can prevent one from catching the flu, ACell and PRP can help prevent further hair loss and help restore one’s hair. I appreciate the interest and support from the British Medical Board, who in conjunction with my supervision, are making this treatment available to people in the UK through The Private Clinic.”
Said Hitzig with a smile, “And in case Prince William is interested in regaining more hair in his crown when he returns from his honeymoon, I’ll be sure to bring some extra ACell with me.”
It's available from next Friday and will cost £1000. I'm thinking of getting it done, I'm not expecting major re-growth but if it's gonna help to maintain the hair I have alongside Propecia and Minox then I think it's worth doing until something better comes along. Any thoughts? Anyone else from the UK gonna get it done?Comment

Does it work? I'm optimistic but it's a bit of a leap of faith at this point, isn't it?
I think Hitzig said that the cases he had seen after a year were still doing well, but no long-term studies have been done yet. My guess as an optimist is that as long as you continue to take your Propecia your regrown thinning hairs shouldn't re-thin because you're blocking the DHT that causes that, but maybe there are factors we don't know about.Comment

Is PRP bad?
OK, I'm really freaked out after reading on another forum that PRP is actually full of Testosterone and DHT and TGF-B1 - all of which are known to cause hair loss. I was gonna get PRP + Acell done, I knew it wasn't proven and that there's been no clinical trials but I was assured it wouldn't make me worse off and the results that are shown seemed to show no further hair loss.
I really don't know what to think, I'm sure the doctors using PRP will have reasons as to why it's supposedly fine but I really don't know who to believe anymore. I saw an independant article about PRP and it's definately full of TGF-B1 and if you google that in regards to hair loss they call it the hair follicle assasin and show studies that were done to try and inhibit it to help stop hair loss. I can't believe hair restoration doctors would've bushed over this but who knows if they're just in it for the money.
I wanted to believe in the promise of this but now I really don't think I can risk it. When I think about it more there's a lot of excitement about Acell but to be honest there's not much interest in PRP from the big doctors, they say it's because it's not proven but maybe it's also because they're aware of these factors.
Why can't someone just do an F**KING clinical trial and prove things for sure, Greco's been using PRP for over 3 years, if he hada started a proper trial back then we would have contrete answers by now!
I guess I'm just gonna have to keep using Propecia and Minox, hold they hold out until Histogen or something comes out, at least we can trust in these products that are taking so long to come to market because they're being properly trialled for actual hair loss.
Any feed back would be appreciated, I'm a bit ****ed up about this because as I said I just don't know what to believe, it could just be forum scare mongering but then there does also seem to be truth behind it.Comment
