About us

What is HairSafe?

HairSafe is a Dutch biotech start-up that preserves human hair follicles for the future. We partner with hair-transplant clinics to store follicles at −196°C, ready for the regenerative treatments now in development.

As a biobank pending certification, we combine clinical rigor with cryogenic efficacy. Every follicle is fully traceable, aseptically processed and protected by a strict chain of custody.

the process

How it works.

Your follicles are secured in four simple steps.

01

Collection

During your hair transplant, your clinic sets a few extra follicles aside.

Transport

Your follicles are picked up and transported chilled by HairSafe the same day.

Processing

Once at the lab, the follicles are placed in a specialised fluid to prevent damage during freezing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most from clinics and clients.

Why bet on future therapies?
During a hair transplant the surgeon harvests follicles from your donor area. Donor follicles are finite: each of your follicles can only be used once. Setting a very small share aside at −196°C keeps options open for treatments coming to market in 5–10 years.
Why store my follicles now rather than later?
Age-related hair loss often happens because follicles themselves age. Normally, stem cells inside the follicle drive renewal, but that function declines as DNA damage accumulates. The hair you have today will never be healthier than it is now.
What does HairSafe cost the client?
A one-time procurement fee through your clinic plus a low annual subscription of €100 for storage and management. Collection happens during your regular hair transplant. No extra procedure required!
Can I safely store my follicles without having a hair transplant?
Absolutely possible. Because this requires a separate procedure scheduled outside a regular hair transplant session, the collection costs may be slightly higher.
Is HairSafe officially certified?
HairSafe is pending official recognition from the Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ). We work to the same quality standards long established in IVF, dermatology and oncology, with a quality officer, responsible person and a fully traceable data trail for every follicle.
What does a partnership between HairSafe and my clinic actually involve?
For every new client your clinic receives a commission. During an intake the HairSafe storage service is introduced to the client. The surgeon sets 50 grafts aside cold in a 4 °C fridge. We handle everything else: vials, forms, flyers, the reporting system, transport, downstream processing and client contact. Your clinic carries no legal responsibility within the partnership. That lies entirely with HairSafe by law.
What happens to my follicles if HairSafe shuts down?
A certified tissue facility is required to maintain a continuity plan. You will be informed promptly and your follicles will then be kept for at least another 6 months. During that time HairSafe will work to transfer your follicles safely and quickly to an alternative certified tissue facility.
How long can my follicles be stored?
Cellular tissue at liquid-nitrogen temperature (−196 °C) is essentially indefinitely stable. Biological processes halt completely at that temperature. IVF has demonstrated this for decades.
