WILL NIOSTEM WORK FOR ME?
Niostem is focused on reawakening the dormant hair stem cells, thus targeting the core problem of male pattern baldness. Our technology stimulates stem cells through a pioneering process called low level bioelectrical stimulation.
Through this method, hair stem cells are encouraged to convert into progenitor cells, thereby effectively kickstarting the regrowth process at a cellular level.
This method is non-invasive, and does not require any medications - thus not causing nasty side-effects!
The efficacy has been tested in a 6-month pilot trial with 22 males, having male pattern baldness, with Norwood Scales 2-5, aged 20-50 yrs).
The results:
- After 3 months: 95.4% stopped hair loss
- After 6 months: 100% of testers stopped hair loss and on avg. increased their hair density by 19.3%. That's 19% more hair.
When comparing results to other solutions in the market, the niostem wearable is 6x more effective than Finasteride in half the time.
How is niostem different?
There are many products on the market that promise hair regrowth, however most still utilize the same old approach of trying to block testosterone (DHT), which can lead to several side-effects!
Other products like lasers, derma rollers, caffeine serums, etc. try to stimulate blood flow and thus increase availability of nutrients in the follicles. Usually with limited efficacy.
niostem is different. Our solution tackles the root cause of hair loss. Dormant stem cells. During hair loss hair follicles that actually produce the hair start to miniaturize. And this miniaturization is happening because the stem cells start working properly. By using low level bioelectrical stimulation niostem reactivates proper cell functionality without meddling with the hormones. The activated stem cells trigger follicle growth which ultimately leads to healthier and stronger hair.
In a nutshell: By focusing on cellular growth, we were able to not only stop hair loss but effectively reverse it.
What Stage of Hair Loss Do You Recommend the niostem Wearable?
The device can be used by anyone aged 18+ years with male pattern baldness, also known as common hair loss, which affects 90% of men and around 30% of women with hair loss. niostem has been proven to work in a pilot study with men, aged 20-50 years, with Norwood stages 2-5.
We designed our wearable to be primarily used by people suffering from the early to mid-stages of male pattern baldness, because cells in this stage typically have better chances of being reactivated.
In cases of late-stage baldness, cells could be already dormant for too long, thus might have degenerated, impairing the functionality of the device.
The good news is that a human typically has >100.000 follicles thus chances are high that thousands are still active and susceptible for reactivation.
Do I need to use niostem every day?
Yes, we recommend using the niostem wearable daily. In our studies 30 min / day has proven to have the best outcome.
But in case you miss a few sessions, that will not impair the functionality.
We strongly recommend at least 6 out of 7 days.
How long will it take to see results?
Based on the pilot trial in the first 3 months testers visually have seen less hair fall. They reported less hair on the pillow, blankets, bathroom sink, etc.
Between 3 - 6 months most people have seen first signs of regrowth, both for hair density and hair thickness.
Beyond 6 months you can expect to see increased results of regrowth and recovery of bald areas where the hair follicles were previously miniaturized.
The results are compounding with time, meaning they get better the longer the wearable is in use, so we highly recommend a 1+ year usage.
Please note: Individual results may vary depending on the degree of your hair loss, health, age, hair type, nutrition or other medical conditions. So any results mentioned are always average figures across the total trial participants.
How long do I need to use my niostem device once I have achieved my hair growth goals?
For as long as you wish to keep your hair healthy, you will need to continue using the niostem wearable, because the leading cause of hair loss, DHT, will still be present in your body.
We recommend daily use, but we will continue to test and improve our product, and work on reducing the frequency of usage once our customers' hair growth goals have been achieved. This should work very much like a teeth retainer to keep teeth aligned after a standard orthodontic procedure.
Can niostem be used on women?
The niostem device is designed to target those follicles that are dormant or miniaturized due to the condition of pattern baldness. Regardless of gender, biology works the same.
However, women tend to suffer from an array of different hair loss types, hence a correct diagnosis from a professional is essential.
Additionally, we are currently running a clinical trial with women and are expecting results by August 2024.
