Spencer Kobren Interviews Dr. Gary Hitzig – The Pioneer In Using ACell MatriStem For Hair Restoration
November 6, 2010
Hopes are high for the use of ACell’s MatriStem in the world of hair restoration, but hair loss sufferers need to understand that effective results are both user and protocol dependant. Only time will tell which physicians are utilizing these experimental techniques effectively, and as many of you know, recent history has shown that when used incorrectly this extracellular matrix is completely useless.
There are specific methods of application and maintenance that must be adhered to when utilizing ACell MatriStem in all of its applications, and hair restoration is no different.
It’s important for the hair loss community to be fully informed and to have an accurate history of today’s groundbreaking developments. We also think it’s important to pay homage to those in the field who are leading the way with these cutting edge developments.
There is no doubt that the original pioneer for the use of ACell MatriStem in hair restoration is New York hair transplant surgeon Gary Hitzig, M.D., who has been experimenting with the product in his practice for the past couple of years.
On November 4, 2010 Spencer Kobren had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Hitzig about his groundbreaking experiments and about the true history of the use of ACell MatriStem in the fight against hair loss.
Treating Hair Loss – Spencer Kobren Discusses The Dangers of The “One Size Fits All” Mentality
October 9, 2010
Most hair loss sufferers will try anything to treat their hair loss. Whether it’s lotions or potions, surgical hair restoration or non surgical intervention, men and women dealing with hair loss are desperate to stop the painful process, and to try to move on with their lives.
Sadly, many in the hair loss industry prey on this vulnerability, and have no problem selling bogus products and services to desperate men, women and children searching for real help.
Even when considering legitimate hair loss treatments, consumers need to understand that all treatments have their limitations and not all hair loss sufferers will benefit from these treatments.
This is a harsh realty that many will refuse to accept and unfortunately these desperate consumers might be putting themselves in harms way if they choose to peruse treatment after being informed that they don’t make the best candidates.
Spencer Kobren discusses this harsh reality and tells the story of one hair loss sufferer who just wouldn’t take no for an answer.
