When looking into hair transplants, the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure is an often overlooked but vital resource. The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure can give your hair loss surgeon an official health check!
Bad hair restorations ortransplants are unfortunately not uncommon. If you do a web search for bad hair transplants you will see that there are many people who have had a bad hair transplant.
It is worth reading these cases, to see what the issues are. Mostly, the hair transplant procudure has not delivered the result that the hair loss surgeon had promised before the procedure.
Do your research before you sign any contact with a hair loss surgeon. Hair transplants cost is not the most important factor. The quality and result of the hair restoration is.

Hair cloning is not yet a fact of life, but it may become reality one day. Hair restoration research to clone hair is currently in progress all over the world. If hair restoration research to clone hair becomes successful, it will be possible to produce donor hair in a laboratory.
One of the major limitations in hair restoration is often the amount of donor hair that is available. With hair cloning, this would no longer be an issue.
Hair cloning is extremely complicated and there are many legal and safety obsticales, besides the issues of hair cloning itself, that have to be overcome before cloning of hair can become a reality.
