Wow this is incredible, unfortunately I just sold my house to buy shares in the "Hair Max laser blow dryer" that hopes to send laser guided jolts of saw palmetto directly onto the scalp then dry it to form a wonderful green mucus coloured crust to seal in any further hair loss.

Hopefully aiming for pan-Asian approval in 2078.

haha! I’ve actually thought about this before when thinking of all the bs treatments, and thought I should start up a bs company to peddle snake oil and make millions, but then I realized I wasn't a piece of shit

I will only do this if inside each packet of snake oil we send out we include a little note that recommends they "compliment" the treatement with the use of the Big Three (Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Nizoral).

If you think about it, recommending that they compound treatments is going to reduce the negative feedback, and also increase the chances that people actually believe the snake oil did something for them.

But what will we call the parent company that produces all these amazing treatments?

Follistogen?
Follerans?
Replihair?
Folligain?
L'Oreal?...Oh wait that one's taken, my bad.

We could also put together a DIY SMP package with our own patented red and green inks and needle/pen. Here's the pitch: Complete kit comes with ten pairs of 3d glasses (pictured below) to put on your observers during social interactions. SMP has never looked so real! May also be used by the subject themselves when viewing their awesome new shaved do in the mirror. Order now and receive a 10% discount off the recommended retail price of $599.

Disclaimer: Inks last 14 days once applied. Order a years supply touchup kit for the low price of $300.
