A research record, not medical advice: being listed here says nothing about whether a treatment works or whether it is right for you. Talk to a dermatologist about your own case.
How it is meant to work
Dermal papilla cells are the follicle's instruction set — they tell surrounding tissue to build a hair. Take a small biopsy, expand those cells in culture, put them back where follicles have miniaturised, and in principle you restore the signal that has been lost.
