4 REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES

In the Follicular Multiplication study, we revealed four remarkable discoveries:

Partial follicular units

2. When a small portion of the follicle remains in the dermis, it can regenerate a completely differentiated hair.

Regrowth in the donor area.

3. Not both stem cell populations are necessary to induce normal hair growth. Therefore we can conclude that two hairs can grow from one follicle. If a small portion of the follicle remains in the donor area, it can regenerate a new hair, even when the major part of the follicle has been removed. The major part, which has been removed, will also produce a hair after being transplanted to the recipient area. So, one hair follicle can produce two hairs. However, at times too much follicle tissue has been removed from the donor area, so only the graft will regenerate a new hair. Furthermore, at times insufficient follicle tissue is removed from the donor area, resulting in only the donor area being able to continue producing hairs. Therefore, the percentage of “multiplication” varies for each patient.

4. The most remarkable and interesting finding is the so-called
“Pili Multigemini.”

This is a phenomenon where from one follicle, two or more follicles develop. In a normal follicle unit, two to three follicles are present. These follicles will generate two to three normal hairs. In several subjects we noticed that where one or two upper parts of the follicles were implanted, not one or two hairs, but three to even five hairs regenerated. This discovery was the basis of Hair Multiplication. The photos below show the phenomenon of "Pili Multigemini".
