Executive Summary Overview
The HairCell therapy available to you will depend on the regulatory status in the individual country where you reside. In the USA and Canada our intent is to start with a three part therapy of (1) in clinic high fidelity bioelectric stimulation with a 510K market cleared stimulator, (2) amniotic fluid injections via DermaPen and (3) amniotic membrane application in fully bald areas of the head and out of the clinic at home we will apply the TeslaBrush electrostatic stimulation device. In other countries where permitted by regulatory authorities a more advanced therapy will be applied which includes repeat injections and applications of the HC-15 fifteen component stem cell based composition which includes exosomes, selected alkaloids, micro RNAs, nutrient hydrogel and hair scalp matrix within a hair regeneration promoting scaffolding. Also outside of the USA and Canada in selected markets we will apply a wider range of bioelectric signals to control expressions of SDF-1, HGF, EGF, IGF-1, PDGF, VEGF, HIF 1 alpha, eNOS, Activin A+B, Follistatin, Tropoelastin and perhaps also GDF-10 and GDF-11.
Vision
Product
HairCell (patent pending) has the mission to significantly improve hair regeneration in comparison to current hair restoration methods. HairCell would use a patented bioelectric stimulator coupled with the patented tesla brush and several protein additives to achieve this goal.
Problem
late-forties to early-fifties show noticeable hair loss. The numbers for women however are even higher. Statistics show that by age 40, approximately 40% of women suffer some type of hair loss. Then by age 60, that percentage jumps to 80% of women to suffer noticeable hair loss.
Patents
Over 400 patent claims issued, pending, licensed or optioned for organ regeneration and recovery. Patent claims cover over 20 regenerative proteins expressions including SDF-1 + PDGF for stem cell homing, a full suite of angiogenesis (blood vessel forming) protein expressions and bioelectric signaling sequences for managing inflammation, blood pressure, muscle formation and nerve regeneration. Important regeneration promoting controlled proteins expressions include klotho, tropoelastin (for increasing elasticity), follistatin and sonic hedgehog
Pre-clinical
• Hair growth-promotion effects of different alternating current parameter settings are mediated by the activation of Wnt/-catenin and MAPK pathway. (1) Click Here to View
• In animal model, hair regrowth was observed in the entire stimulated areas under individual conditions. Expression of hair-related genes in the skin significantly increased on 6(th) week of treatment.
• Battle against baldness turns to stem cells. (2) Click here to View
• A group of researchers have found a way to regrow a type of cell crucial for the development of healthy follicles, making it possible to grow new hair without having to sacrifice tissue from another part of the body.
• When the scientists planted their epithelial cells onto mice, the stem cells transformed into cells for both human skin and hair follicles. The cells even produced structurally recognizable hair shafts.
Clinical
• Elastatropin in Scalp & Hair Conditioning. (3)

• We have recently evaluated the topical application of human tropoelastin, the precursor to elastin, to the scalp of a volunteer showing the signs of male pattern baldness. If damage to the structure and matrix of elastin in the scalp contributes to the thinning and loss of hair, then providing an external source of this human protein could help reduce ongoing hair loss and stimulate new hair growth.
Upcoming Milestones
• Completion of bioelectric + laser study in identical twins summer 2019
• Target gaol start of auction for exit December 2019.
