    Find a girl that doesn't care about your hair and I'm sure there's tons out there (but most probably passed the age of 25)

    Get married have kids and hopefully sometimes in our lifetime we'll have what we've been wishing for!

    Hair transplants at this point are a no go for me personally as we don't have an unlimited donor supply (unless you are willing to take Finasteride for the next 10+ years, which some do...)

    Scarless FUE is irrelevant when your hairloss can still progress without fin! Even Gho is NOT able to to completely restore a NW5 without running out of donor hair at this point in time!
    HTS to restore the front frame.. and shave so you have that darker shade to it is better than the horseshoe look.. regardless if you go bald between.

    HT's are still worth it IMO

      I only took it hoping that one of these upcoming treatments will manage to halt my hairloss without the need to alter my hormonal chemistry! It seems however, MPB is a far more complicated disease than any of our scientists ever imagined!

      BTW, I will definitely change my terminology...thx for pointing it out
      Exactly my thoughts. I just wait for CB phase 2 results (March 2015), then decide to wait for release or if CB fails, I consider to shave and leave this forum forever. I mean it makes really no sense to take FIN another 5 to 10 years after 2015, only to wait for true HM. Another treatment is not in sight or not promising enough.

      And to be honest, its even hard to think about taking FIN another 4 years and I only take twice a week 0.25mg like Desmond. I hate me everyday for taking it. My libido is down + my gf is really hot = just wtf am I doing. She would never leave me even if I shave, she doesnt care that much. Its only me, no one would care. Is it worth to live 4 years in my twenties with a low libido? One of my best friends is nearly bald, but dude he looks like Ljungberg, his libido is so damn high and he meets girls every weekend. I go out with him with hair on my head, but my libido is so low, I dont even mind to flirt with other girls. Just WTF

        Next 10 years = Fin + Minox, that's it.

          And for those who don't want to chemically castrate themselves that means only Minox But again, interesting developments are happening in the HT industry. Let's follow Dr Nigam's test and the one that Dr Mousseigne is doing this wednesday.

If someday (hopefully soon) regrowth of 80% really can be achieved (and documented/proven properly), then that's going to be a huge breakthrough.

            But yeah, other than that, the (near) future looks quite dark ...
            exactly..that could give a full head of hair..

            Guys don't get so down on yourselves...histogen could be a fin alternative!!!! that means we can maintain, and all we have to do is get the frontal region fixed! I think you guys are taking this too harshly...plus they can still improve!


            Not only that, if CB is what it has showed it could be...in 3 years we could have a treatment 10x better than fin!

            There are many things in the works! Just live your lives right now and check back here every few weeks/months...

            and then we have replicel....a huge investment was recently made in them, and Spencer himself thinks they will have the cure in the next 10 years!

              It`s just the damn uncertainty that drives me crazy. If I would know for sure that lets say in 4 years Replicel or CB comes out and I could from then on maintain my hair forever with no or few sides, dude I would even take Fin for that 4 years with zero libido and manboobs. I wouldnt care. I would remove my boobs after starting CB and live my life like nothing happened :P :P

              But to take FIN another years only to find out if CB / replicel etc. may potentially work, is really really frustrating.

              And to see that even Desmond lost hope for next 5-10 years and considers dropping FIN broke my neck...

              Btw. Desmond, what do you think about RU? Would it be a possibility for you after dropping FIN?

                On the other hand, if I would drop FIN now, and CB is really working and coming to market in 4-5 years, I would hate myself for dropping FIN and losing probably tons of hairs.

                CB is just another AA with the primary goal of maintaining what you have...

                  Histogen: Done. Let's be realistics, it's intercytex all over again

                  CB: The only real option to have a treatment in 5 years, even if it is in acne form

                  PGD2 Blocker, Lauster, Tsuji: Theory. Theory is not going to regrow your hair in 10 years. Might turn in the treatments of the future, but they are still theory
                  More useless uninformed speculation.

                          I swear though, all this stress and bullshit from these companies, I can see why no other hair loss forum apart from HS has a 'future treatments' section and why forum goers rarely give a shit about looking into developments. They will never emerge!

                          I'm still taking fin but realise it's not about keeping afloat waiting for a rescue boat, it's treading water until you eventually, inevitably drown.

                            Look people, this comes from the guy that just a week ago speculated that Histogen had already presented all they needed to present in order to give them free money and refused to accept any other argument against it, now he stopped his funds campaig

                            With new technologies, everything in open forums is just speculations from any information we had. Intercytex was doomed when they released their phase II results even if it was just "speculation"

                            Sorry, but this is a place for arguments. And there is a group of people that have knee jerk responses to any speculation that isn't overly naively optimistic.

                              This thread is a downer for me right now

                              I agree the uncertainty is the worst....pre-2010 seemed like a hopeful time for hair loss, we were all excited about growing hairs on mice and such, talking about how we would be able to buy full NW1 heads of hair by 2015. Now the next 5 years look like a R&D desert

                              This condition is ridiculous. No amount of money can cure it, the richest man in the world (that Mexican guy) is walking around with a crap looking transplant.

                              I am pumping my body full of antiandrogens long term, that is the future right there. I am on fin+dut+keto and will increase my dut dose this month, f*ck it. I seriously do not care any more.

                                Yeah! Unfortunately Pentarou no PGD2 inhibitor has actually been approved for any condition yet! They are testing it for asthma prevention at this point!

                                Lauster believes he has put the information out there for enthusiasts to follow. He has other plans in mind atm.
