This web site is not responsible for the compositions or representations made by competing hair restoration products, or any errors or omissions that may occur as a result. At the present time, January 2009, no non-pharmaceutically derived hair loss treatment is technically required by the FDA to undergo placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical research. Nor is such research required to be submitted for validation and publication by and within the peer-reviewed medical literature. HairGenesis™ has undertaken these difficult, costly and time-intensive steps in the interest of demonstrating, for the benefit of consumers, its safety and efficacy under the most scientifically objective and stringent conditions. Among the non-drug based hair loss t eatments, in successfully achieving these milestones, HairGenesis™ stands alone. Product Names are the trademarks of the companies represented by those products.
