HairClone aims to rejuvenate miniaturizing hair follicles through folliclebanking and cell expansion, with treatments potentially available in the UK by 2022. The process involves extracting, storing, and cloning hair follicles, but full regenerative treatments will take many years to develop.

This conversation was about a user named Substantial_Pen_1099 who has been using an regimen of 5mg oral minoxidil, 1mg finasteride everyday, 2% keto shampoo every three days, and weekly 0.5mm dermarolling for hair loss treatment over the course of 3 months. Others in the conversation expressed disbelief at their progress, to which Substantial_Pen_1099 provided video proof as evidence.
