A method for utilizing an individual's undifferentiated papilla and/or bulge area stem cells to stimulate hair growth. The inventor has discovered that bulge area stem cells can be harvested, isolated, cloned, and successfully transplanted into an area of the donor's skin where increased growth of hair is desired to increase hair growth therein. In the first step of the method, a donor section of skin is identified having growth of the type of hair for which increased growth at the recipient site is sought. Since hair types differ according to their anatomical site, it is generally desirable to match the hair produced by the donor stem cells to the type of hair that is desired at the recipient site. For example, in treatment of male pattern baldness, tissue samples are harvested from an area of the scalp that still exhibits vigorous growth. Once the donor site is identified, it is anesthetized locally using any convenient means and a plurality of tissue samples are obtained from the donor site. The tissue samples preferably contain hair follicles with intact undifferentiated papilla and/or dermal stem cells, as well as immediately surrounding tissues. Any method of tissue sampling can be employed, for example, punch biopsy, so long as viable stem cells can be obtained. The stem cells are cloned to multiply the number of cells preferably by about 10 to 1,000 times or more. Some of the stem cells can be frozen for later use. Some of the stem cells are inserted into skin regions where hair restoration is desired. Various techniques are disclosed for inserting the stem cells into the skin.
