Do you have a family history of baldness? Are you experiencing gradual hair loss? Do you want to take action before it's too late, while avoiding current invasive treatments? You're probably wondering how to protect your hair. We have the solution for you: HairClone®. It's an innovative preventative solution that allows you to preserve your hair before it falls out, thanks to hair follicle cryopreservation technology.
HairClone® is a major breakthrough in hair cell therapy. It can be imagined simply as a personalised hair bank. The treatment enables your young, healthy hair follicles to be harvested and preserved in a hair cryobank, for future use in hair regeneration treatments should any need arise in the future.
In contrast to conventional hair transplants, HairClone® acts upstream of the loss. It is a preventive treatment for baldness, ideal for people who still have sufficient density but wish to preserve their hair capital, or for those suffering from progressive hair loss.
In particular, it makes it possible to counter the possible irreversibility of hair loss and maintain access to hair care in the event of baldness or illness that could lead to complete hair loss.
Hairclone® is a global project devised by international specialists aimed at offering an individualised hair preservation opportunity. Led by the doctors of the Farjo Hair Institute, world-renowned hair surgeons, Hairclone® aims to integrate the world's best teams in the field of hair regenerative medicine.

The HairClone® treatment protocol involves three simple steps:
This approach combines perfectly with complementary treatments such as medical treatments, PRP injections or tricopigmentation, which we offer at Clinique du Cheveu.
It all starts with a personalised consultation with Dr Meyer, an internationally recognised hair surgeon. During this appointment, he will assess the current condition of your scalp and hair, and identify the healthy and active follicles to be removed. Photographs, a trichogram or a scalp examination may be carried out to document the initial situation. If the patient is eligible, we will arrange a date for the sample to be taken.
The procedure involves removing a few hundred hairs under local anaesthetic (don't worry, there are nearly 150,000 of them in the scalp!). The procedure is quick and painless, and takes place on an outpatient basis at our specialist clinic. The harvested follicles are then prepared and sent to an approved HairClone® cryobank for storage at very low temperature.
The patient can resume normal activities as soon as the appointment is over. The harvesting points are discreet, generally leave no visible scar and do not require any special care, apart from light local disinfection and a repair cream to be applied locally for a few days. The retained follicles can be used at a later date, when the patient so wishes, to benefit from a hair regeneration treatment.
Following the procedure, side effects are exceptional, benign and transient. They may include:
No systemic side effects have been observed to date. Since it is neither a hormone treatment nor a major surgical procedure, but a minor, minimally invasive procedure, hair harvesting for HairClone® is considered very safe and well-tolerated.
