For women suffering from alopecia, the loss of their hair can be traumatic and life altering. But an Israeli medical technology company has developed an injector to strongly affix multiple strands to the scalp at a time, providing immediate hair restoration to women struggling with baldness.
Hairstetics, based in Or Yehuda on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, says its near-instant hair implants can restore a woman’s hair in less than an hour – and without surgical intervention.
Hairstetics CEO Oren Ne’eman tells NoCamels that the implants are for women suffering from androgenetic alopecia, a genetic disorder characterized by permanent hair loss in men and women after puberty.
The condition affects up to 50 percent of men and women, who experience hair loss on different parts of the head. In males, baldness is most prominent in the front of the head, while in women hair loss is most common at the top of the head and the crown.
He says that the focus of the company is women suffering from the condition, for now at least, as their implants rely on long strands of artificial hair.
“It’s an unmet need in females,” he tells NoCamels on the sidelines of the Biomed Israel conference in Tel Aviv.
