• Electrical hair regeneration home kit - consumers can purchase for use at the comfort of their own home.
• The machine can slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth by means of electrical stimulation of the scalp - based on medical studies on electrical scalp stimulation.
• "up to 75% increase in growth".
• "95% of those using the treatment ...noted a substantial decrease in hair loss".
•  

• 400 pounds sterling

• There are several hair loss treatments out there that are based on electrical stimulation. People should be careful not to confuse one with the other as each product is backed by different research and clinical studies. Occasionally, you may seen companies trying to promote and market their products by leveraging on the research and studies conducted by others.
• Bio-Trans has provided very little documentation regarding clinical studies conducted on the Electrical Hair Regenerator that it sells. It is unclear what kind of scientific studies have been conducted in connection with the machine.
• In terms of convenience, the Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit certainly beats the ETG treatment that has also been reviewed by us. Unlike the ETG treatment, the Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit can be administered at the comfort of your own home. There is no weekly clinical visit required. And for those who live in cities where ETG treatment is not yet available, the Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit seems to be the logical choice.
• Also, the Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit is a lot cheaper than ETG treatments in the long term. ETG treatment averages to about US $2,500 per year (based on US $50 per weekly session) compares to about US $800 (400 British pound sterling) for the Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit which can give you as many sessions as you wish.
• Also worth mentioning is that Bio-Trans seems to be silent on the issue about warranty for the Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit. When I contacted Bio-Trans directly about the warranty for the machine, they simply responded that they will replace the machine if it was damaged during shipment. None has been said about whether the machine is backed by any warranty.
• A sour note for US residents. The Electrical Hair Regeneration Unit is manufactured for use in Europe. The voltage requirement of the machine is not compatible with US and Canada standards.
• Bio-Trans also provide advanced topical lotions for the treatment of hair loss. See our review under "Topical Treatment" for Bio-Trans.
• Another provider of electrical stimulation is Hair & Skin Treatment Center in New York.
