Research

Since the beginning of his practice, Dr. Antonio Armani has strove to be a leader in the field of hair restoration. Alvi Armani Genomics - our research and development division - was established specifically with this goal in mind. Our mission is to continuously offer patients state of the art solutions to treat the problem of hair loss.

 

The future of hair restoration rests in genetic and cellular research. The development of cell and gene therapies to treat genetic hair loss focuses on its causes at cellular and molecular levels.

 

Medical specialists with extensive surgical replacement experience and genetic researchers have come together to find a cure to hair loss. Research is focused in the mapping of the genetic structures of the cells involved in genetic hair loss.

 

The genetic cause of hair loss involves the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the dermal papilla (DP) cells that are sensitive to it, which are found at the base of hair follicles and are responsible for new growth. By researching the DNA of these cells, which are usually located in follicles at the hairline and top of the scalp, we can target the particular genes that cause hair loss and alter their structures.
