I Didn’t Start out Trying to Grow Hair…
I’m Misti Barnes, a certified trichologist and physician trainer who has treated 1,500+ people with hair loss. I have trained physicians and medical professionals and med spas in hair loss treatments across the country.
I didn’t start out trying to help people grow hair. I started out working for a prominent Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon using medical micropigmentation to breast cancer survivors, and microneedling to treat body and facial scars.
During this time I trained under one of the pioneers of microneedling, and I began developing my own techniques to improve the results for patients with post-surgical scars and burns…
I made a stunning discovery while treating skin using peptides. I was shocked to discover new hair was regrowing in areas after severe skin injuries had healed.
I realized I was onto something big. I began combining peptides, growth factors with microneedling on patients with hair loss. along with ozone therapy.
I began sharing my discoveries…and was invited to present my research in journals and at medical conferences, like: the Boston Biolife Regenerative Medical Conference, AmSpa, Aesthetic Everything, A4M, various Medspa clinics and seminars, as well as the World Trichology Society.
I was asked to train physicians in my techniques.
A Radically Different Approach…
What I created had to be better than anything else out there…
It had to address the root causes of hair loss, not just cover them up.
It had to be non-toxic and good for you…there’s no sense in damaging your body just to get more hair.
The results had to last…unlike hair surgery which hides the problem for a few years… until the next surgery.
I wanted it to be affordable…hair loss is devastating enough, I didn’t want this to be something only the rich could afford…
Back to the Power of Plant-Based Peptides
My approach is based upon the research from medical and scientific journals, along with clinical research on the rejuvenation power of peptides.
I was significantly influenced by the work of Dr. Loren Pickart, who studied the rejuvenating actions GHK, and invented GHK-Cu a peptide used for skin and hair regeneration.
I became even more convinced that combining my proprietary microneedling techniques with plant-based peptides could radically change hair restoration. During this time I poured myself into the study of the anatomy and physiology of hair, training with top international professionals, and became a certified Trichologist.
I teamed up with a leading biochemist (former head of R&D for Aveda, L’Oreal, and Estee Lauder), who holds 40 hair-related patents. Together, we led anecdotal trials using the protocols and product lines that would eventually become Cellustrious®.
Changing Lives One Person at a Time
It’s been a wild and thrilling ride, with plenty of hard work, determination, and a relentless commitment to getting the best results for my patients, while improving their health.
I’ve been featured on TV, treated numerous executives, celebrities and professional athletes…I’ve spoken at medical conferences and trained 30+ physicians in my patent-pending protocols…I’ve had my work published, and presented my research at Boston Biolife Regenerative Medical Conference, AmSpa, A4M, and the World Trichology Society. Cellustrious® has been the recipient of awards, including “Best Innovation in Hair Rejuvenation” by Aesthetic Everything
But what I’m really proud of…is how Cellustrious® helps real people grow more hair and allows them to start living again.
