Great interview Spencer, I actually listened live on Sunday and was a little disappointed the hear that latisse was not much more effective then Rogaine. I am hoping that when they test a stronger version that the results will be better. Keep doing what you do Spencer, you are the best! -

If at 0.03% it works as good as minoxidil, then most likely it will work better in a higher concentration. Hopefully it won't have any safety issues though. I just hope they figure out the right % and dosage soon enough. I'm not too worried about the pricing. It will definitely be more affordable than latisse no doubt.Comment

lol I am not being sarcastic. Minoxidil works wonders for meIf I could have that AGAIN my hair would be amazing.

Thats great news! Would be great to have a good topical to free the follicles of DHT - and apparently it works differently to Fin which blocks the conversion to DHT via 5AR instead this competes for androgen sites in the scalp and occupies them.Comment

First two phases completed. Very impressive thus far.
Google it.
Of all the pipeline treatments, I think this one looks the most promising in terms of coming to market soon. I can't find the cite right now, but I remember reading somewhere about Hideo Uno's studies with macaques (a type of monkey that suffers from pattern scalp baldness just like humans) and the conclusion was that bimatoprost showed much better efficacy than minoxidil in promoting hair regrowth. I have no idea what concentrations were used in the study, but I don't think it was the 0.03 percent used for eyelash growth.Comment

Are you saying Latisse has completed Phase I and Phase II clinical trials for Bimatoprost as a scalp hair loss treatment? I thought they were just wrapping up Phase I and had not yet released the results, with Phase II not starting until June. If you have information that indicates otherwise could you post it here, or maybe include some links?

I could be wrong though.Comment

I saw back in 2008 they were beginning Phase I... I totally forgot to check up on progress lol, and now they're entering Phase III without any issues - which is pleasing.Comment
