vc Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hi, I was looking for new advances in hair loss treatments and I found an ad on youtube for recoverup hair regeneration company. They are based in Edinburgh and they use stem cells which -they claim- can stimulate the growth of new hair follicles. They also claim that the expected growth can last for at least five years and they offer a 30 days money back guarantee if there’s no hair growth (however you must not take any other hair loss medications at the same time to be eligible for that). There are no before and after photos or other evidence of success stories on their website though, which certainly raises many concerns. Has anyone heard of them before? Are there any people form the UK here that have used the treatment that this company offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 10, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2010 VC, Thank you for sharing this potential new therapy. Various companies are trying to manipulate and implement "stem cells" in their hair loss treatments, but I do not believe any have received proper safety clearance or can produce viable evidence (patient photographs). Personally, I would be cautious, especially because the company suggests that you do not utilize proven treatments (such as minoxidil/Rogaine or finasteride/Propecia) during therapy, and because they cannot supply you with evidence that their therapy works. Why don't you make an appointment with one of the Hair Transplant Network's recommended physicians and ask their opinion on this therapy and best treatment for your current level of hair loss? Good luck, and feel free to ask any additional questions.

vc Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks future_ht_ doc, I’ve read before that some companies are experimenting with stem cells as a hair loss treatment but didn’t know there was a company in the UK that was doing this. I share your concerns and to be honest it sounds to good to be true especially as there is no evidence at all to back their claims. That’s why I was looking for input from people that may had some experience with this kind of treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member FinHairLoss Posted June 11, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) This seems really sketchy....... but I'll probably do it anyway how has nobody heard of this? Edited June 11, 2010 by FinHairLoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted June 11, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2010 Even if the treatment does re-grow hair, it might only be a very small amount which offers no cosmetic difference, but prevents you from claiming your money back.

vc Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) tried twice to email them but both times i got a notification that the email could not be delivered seems that they really are not "open for business" yet Edited June 24, 2010 by Future_HT_Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2010 tried twice to email them but both times i got a notification that the email could not be delivered seems that they really are not "open for business" yet In my opinion, you should really "proceed with caution."

2cnts Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi All, I am new to the forum and have not yet set up a detailed profile but wanted to comment on this as well. Surfing the net I also came across this company and am waiting for a reply to the email I sent them. I also saw something similar offered by Bangkok Hospital. I saw another add by a clinic in clearwater FL claiming Stem Cell but after looking in to it further the one in FL was actually PRP. Think this also a form of PRP being offered by recoverup and the others?? I would appreciate any info as I am considering beginning the HT journey within a year and find myself at a serious fork in the road. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted October 27, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2010 I really feel that if tis worked, CNN or BBC would be advertising for free by doing stories on it, instead of coming on a website to promote it. Just a thought. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Guest essentialoilexporters Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 IT is an embarrassing condition that has plagued middle-aged men for centuries but now scientists think they are close to creating a cure for baldness following a stem cell breakthrough.
