Brief summary
Evaluate the ability of injections of Ji Gami(TM) CN to induce hair growth in male and female subjects with hair loss.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALAutologous cultured mixed population of dermal cells
A piece of occipital scalp is taken from the subject. A mixed population of dermal cells from this tissue are expanded in culture. The cells are then harvested. These cells are then injected into the balding area of the scalp of the original subject.
