THANK YOU BENDER IN THE HM FORUM FOR COMPILING THESE QUESTIONS. MUCH APPRECIATED FROM ALL OF US !

Q#1: About the patient who developed skin cancer, was the patient impregnated for HM all over the scalp? was the cancer located in a single spot of the scalp, in several spots, or spread all over the scalp? Do you know exactly what was the reason of it (even if not related to HM) ?

Dr. Carl Bazan: A BCC developed near the nose. It happened 7 months after a HM attempt. Maybe is not related (maybe it is). Successfully treated in Alberta using MOHS.

Q#2: In case of developing skin cancer, will it be easy to remove? how?

Dr. Carl Bazan: No answer.

Q#3: direction: as you have said, there is a certain difficulty in getting the hairs growing in the correct direction. Have you had any problems with "ingrown" hairs growing down under the skin, causing inflammation, etc?

Dr. Carl Bazan: Ingrown hairs yes. Inflammation yes. Not severe.

Q#4: about the photos. We can see you have updated your site with a new "gallery page". But the photos are still not uploaded. Please hurry up!

Dr. Carl Bazan: I am eager to post images too. Some redtape holds some actions.

Q#5: As from every donor hair 4-6-10 hairs are obtained. Could it be possible to reinject the cells also in the donor area so you always keep it with the same density so it can be used over and over again until you head is 100% full of hair??

Dr. Carl Bazan: No. Not yet viable.

Q#6: How are your HM trialists doing? Any updates/ photos?

Dr. Carl Bazan: 'Trialists' doing just fine. Updated info and images will follow as soon as possible.

Q#7: When can we expect a wider commercial release of your
respective procedures (HM & SIT)?

Dr. Carl Bazan: SIT: Can not answer you with enough certainty right now. HM: It still needs some fine tunning. It does work.

Q#8: I'm a NW 2-3 and 23 yo. Will I be an eligible candidate for the HM procedure shortly after it's released or will the limitations (NW>= 5, age >30) still apply?

Dr. Carl Bazan: Too hairy, too young. Of course, the "limitations" will not remain as 'severe'.

Q#9: Can your HM can be administered without problems to
somebody who had a previous hair transplant done (as I'm considering FUE in the near future)?

Dr. Carl Bazan: Yes.

Q#10 : Does every new hair impregnated grows at the same rate: are there weaker multiplied hair than others ? How can you know the hair will cycle normally in ten years since you couldn't have tested it for that long?

Dr. Carl Bazan:
a) No.
b) We are not sure. But we can not find a reason for cycling to stop.

Q#11 : If one consider that you can perform HM at the present
time (although it's still on trial), when do you think the direction problem will be solved ? More precisely, can that be solved or would it represent a degree of perfection such that this could only be solved in theory, and thus that issue can only be minimized and never overcomed ?

Dr. Carl Bazan:
a) Direction issue, will probably be solved. Can not know when.
b) How fast, how easy or how well it will be solved? Do not know.

Q#12 : Can you have the same density as normal hair ? How can you predict that with an injection ?

Dr. Carl Bazan: It is just a prediction (a solidly educated prediction).
I see it as highly probable. Evidence sustain projections.

Q#13: Dr. Bazan when you state that it is possible to multiple
a hair follicle as many as 8 times - do you mean it yields eight new follicles from 1? So to get 8,000 follicles you need to harvest from the donor region 1,000 follicles? Or do you mean exponentially, where 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4, 8 becomes 16,
16 becomes 32 etc etc (all from one follicle) until you get to
eight divisions????

Dr. Carl Bazan:1=8

Q#14: can HM cause shock loss ? Have you performed hm on
someone with diffuse thinning?

Dr. Carl Bazan:
a) We do not fully understand the pathogenesys of shock loss.
b) No I have not. Would not rule those cases out a priori (and also remember the allogenic windows).


Q#15: you mentioned all of your trialist have responded to hm to various degrees of growth would it be same to say that the procedure will work on anybody that has mpb? Lets say it doesn't work as an alternative measure would you then recommend the allogenic procedure?

Dr. Carl Bazan: Will probably work on anybody, MPB or not (AGA, FAGA, LUD, AA, AU, AROM-Alop, Cicat-Alop, scars, design, etc).

Q#16: does the proceedure mean its only available subject to
local regulations i.e. Mexico, or could this mean a quick worldwide release meeting different countries medical regulatory laws. If so when does he foresee it becoming mainstream.
 
Dr. Carl Bazan: Must meet the law. Here, there, everywhere. When? I wish a date can be provided.


Q#17:I was wondering whether the HM process is affected in
any way by gray hair, and what type of hairs will be produced
by the multiplied grays.

Dr. Carl Bazan: Not affected in density matters. Just harder to manipulate.

Q#18: what role does Harvard University play in your research?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan: None. Initially HuESc lines & technology trading. Not playing a role now. Initial collaboration could not progress due to our (my) local way of understanding the philosophy, nature and future of HuESc, freedom, commercialization, ownership, patenting, etc (the business part).


Q#19: Assuming the patient keeps returning for treatments: Can SIT restore the original density?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan: Potentially yes.

Q#20: Do you have any experience how effective SIT is, when you treat the same area again after a year? I mean, let’s say a patient receives X hairs per square centimeter, will a second row of treatments one year later give him X hairs again? Or will he receive less than X hairs for some reasons? (The question relates especially to bad responders.)
 
Dr. Carl Bazan: 
a) On the experience: no.
b) On the hypothesis: yes.
c) Bad responders are exactly that. Less controlable evolution.


Q#21: How many hairs per square centimeter can a good responder/bad responder expect?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan:  200?/120?
 
Q#22: Will the paying volunteers receive a solid proof of ex-SIT before they pay the money?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan:  No. At least not yet. In the future yes.
 

Q#23: Many people experience increased sebum production in the scalp along with increased hair loss. Will this procedure(s)reverse this? To what extent? If not, does Dr. B. know of any alternatives to reduce sebum production in the scalp?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan:  
a) No.
b) n/a
c) Redesign you DHT balance (use the 5 alfa & beta reductase inhibitors, normalize your regional pH balance, use the appropriate hygiene techniques-i.e. wash the hair never the scalp-, watch what when and how you eat, try clay or low detergent products, etc, etc).
 
Q#24: How many patients have you treated so far? Is it possible to know how old where the patients?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan: 
a) classified.
b) Selected according to the existing "limitations" protocol.


Q#25: How many of your collaborators are qualified to perfom
HM? Will training of other doctors take a long time ?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan: 
a) one.
b) six weeks the most.
 
Q#26: From your point of view and with all the knowledge you have by now, do you think that you've got your hands on a cure (definitely, maybe, might be) ?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan:  This is the most difficult question. Depends on how YOU see it. A cure will probably come in the chemical form of a vaccine or some genetic manipulation. My HM work will be a very smart treatment. A cure stops the disease, my research aims only to minimize the aesthetic devastation. As a bald (N4v) guy (with some solid hair now), I know first hand how important the issue is.

 
Q#27 : Since HM seems to depend much on the donor area, what defines a good donor quality/bad donor quality ?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan:  Too long to answer. Sorry. In a short line: Good healthy donor has good density, good character, good dp and gc's.


Q#28: Who or what is attempting to "compromise" or supress
your efforts, and through what attempts?
 
Dr. Carl Bazan:  Disaccreditation (sp?) within the web, the media and the key institutions ( which prevents venture, private or agency funding; and collaboration). Who? Guess who? easy to know, not wise to post.
