Does the ICX-TRC procedure result in the regeneration of miniaturised follicles or the growth of new follicles (neogenesis)?
Studies indicate that both of these mechanisms may be active. “Intrafollicular” implantation would take advantage of the follicle structure retained by the miniaturised follicles – these follicles would already be aligned in the appropriate direction so rejuvenating or reactivating such pre-existing hairs may be easier than forming new ones in the case of “interfollicular” implantation. Intercytex is looking at both neogenesis and regeneration.
