Dr. Unger is a board certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon who specializes in hair restoration surgery in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He has private practices in Toronto and New York. He is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Dermatology), and the Co-Director of Dermatologic Surgery at the University of Toronto.

Beginning at the University of Toronto in 1998, Dr. Unger co-directed studies on "what is popularly called 'cloning of hair' but is more accurately called cell therapy".

Cells are removed from a patient's hair and millions of similar cells can be reproduced within several weeks. These cells, when injected into immune-compromised mice, can produce hair. The ultimate objective is to inject them back into the human donor and grow unlimited amounts of hair.

Because the technique has not yet been perfected and clearance for human testing by the University Ethics Committee cannot be obtained until it is, human studies have not started.

But, by now nothing is known about exact technique, that he are working on. Therefore, it is very preliminary to give any evaluation of Dr. Unger research
