大家到底真的只能植发还是可以等待克隆技术挽救脱发患者？好像真的只能植发了！

I am considering hair transplant surgery and I am aware of the high cost of this procedure. I recently saw a documentary that informed viewers that “new and more efficient” methods will be introduced within the next couple of years, these methods will be a more effective alternative to hair transplants, “or so they say.” Italian hair transplant surgeons are already cloning hair follicles. Can you give me any more information on what kind of “new methods” are going to be introduced. Should I wait? I do not want to spend all of my savings on a hair transplant if I can just wait for the more efficient and effective methods to be introduced. I have unsuccessfully researched for countless hours online to find out more information. Anything you can tell me would be helpful.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Without going into detail about the status of research efforts directed toward hair loss worldwide, let me just summarize by saying that while there are many promising techniques currently in their infancy (stem cell research, cloning, gene therapy, new drugs, etc) none of them are likely to translate into concrete clinical applications for quite some time.  There are labs in the US, UK, Italy, Japan, Korea, and a few other countries working in this direction.  During our recent annual meeting in Montreal, I did not hear anything that would indicate otherwise.  Could someone get lucky tomorrow?  Sure.  Is it probable? I don’t think so.  How many years?  Who knows? 5 or 10 or 25?  No one really has a clue despite what you may hear or read on the web. So what should you do?  If you are young and have minimal hair loss, see a hair restoration expert and consider a Minoxidil and Propecia program for a year or more.  If you do well on this then you can afford to wait as long as you like. If your hair loss is visibly disturbing to you then besides starting a medical program you might want to consider a state-of-the-art follicular unit hair transplant, as performed by the surgeons accessible here on the www.iahrs.org.  On a personal note, I had a similar decision to make over 10 years ago regarding LASIK eye surgery.  If I had waited, then I would have been deprived of 10 years of excellent vision without glasses or contacts.  I don’t regret it at all.  Choose a good hair restoration doctor, get several opinions and then consider your options.  Use this site as a resource and send in any additional questions you might have.  And remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
我该植发还是等待诸如头发克隆等新手段的运用？


我打算植发，但是又担心高昂的手术费。最近我看到一则消息说，在未来的10年内，将会有新的方法运用在植发上，这将使植发更加高效。而且意大利的外科医生已经克隆出头发毛囊了。你能对这种新方法作更详细的讲解么？
我该等么？我实在不想把我所以的积蓄都花费在植发手术上。我在网上花了大量的时间也没有找到更多有用的信息。希望你能给我一些帮助

你好，谢谢你的提问。脱发在世界范围内都是很普遍的问题，这你是知道的。简言之，就目前来看，还是有几项很有前途的技术在研究中，但是它们都需要一些研究时间才能投入实际运用。比如，对干细胞的研究，克隆，基因治疗，新的药品等等。在美国，英国，意大利，日本，韩国等国家都有实验室对这些课题进行研究。将来的人会很幸运，但对于现在而言，我不认为这是件很有可能的事。没人知道这些新技术什么时候会投入实际治疗中，是5年，10年，还是25年。谁都不知道？尽管你会在网上看到一些关于这方面的预言，如果你还年轻，脱发也不是太严重，建议你找专业头发医师给你制定一个增发疗程，为期一年或者更长时间。如果症状好转，也许你可以等新技术。
如果你脱发相当严重，建议你进行植发手术。你可以在www.iahrs.org得到你需要的详尽信息。

另外，我曾经也面临着一个抉择：是否要在眼睛矫正手术。我选择做手术，并且一点也不后悔。试想一下，要是我不作手术，我生命里就会有十年的时间是暗淡无光的。所以，找一个好的复发医师，征求一些意见，然后作出明智的选择吧

好好利用的这里的资源吧，如又其他疑问，欢迎你继续提问
记住，如果那个选择看上去很正确，那多半就是了！

关键是不知道克隆技术什么时候才能真正行
因为克隆技术也存在了十几年了吧
而且价位也不知道 不知道是否是高昂的让平民无法承受

克隆技术，想想就觉得贵。
