Aderans hopefully soon

[hellouser]

How many of you are planning to have procedures from both Aderans and Histogen when they come to market?

Or are some of you only going to go for ONE of the two?

Personally, I'll be getting on both and HST as well as topical DHT inhibitors like RU and CB.

to be honest if these treatments are everything they are cracked up to be we won't be using RU and CB anymore..histogen caused positive growth for 2 years after one injection...so why waste time on daily topicals?

That is a very good question. I'm kind of afraid that even when they all come out, most surgeons/dermatologists won't be very familiar with the products and won't know how to combine them well if needed. Let's hope whoever will get the license from Histogen to market HSC will do a good job in terms of marketing and organizing sales because this is huge...

It all depends how much hair you have been able to preserve - being able to do Histogen alone every six months would be amazing for me, even if costs 5K per round, I'll do it for sure.

I'd still be taking my DHT inhibiting topicals. HSC won't fight DHT. Aderans might, but we don't know yet.

I'd rather not risk it.

Yes, but in the HSC trial it stated that HSC alone "saved" dying follicles, and if HSC saves dying follicles there would be no need to inhibit dihydrotestosterone. There are many factors that contribute to hair loss and from HSC phase I/II trails we are learning that dht's effect on hair loss can be overcome without dht being suppressed.

It could matter how aggressive your hairloss is though.

if it's a slow loss that happened in your mid-20's-30's maybe, but for some that start losing fast around 20 and it's really agressive, they really might need the two pronged approach.

Fin(DHT inhibitor) has maintained my hair, but I still have alot of vellus hairs, which histogen could very well reverse. I would bump up to a NW1.5-2 if these filled in.

[stayhopeful]

honestly all this innovation is making me soo freeakin excited... we are on the cusp, we just need a little more evidence suggestive of efficacy and a near-term release and our lives are changed foreverr...

Scarless FUE + Aderans + Histogen = maybe not NW1 for everybody, but enough to produce strong results such that to avoid the necessity of ingesting poison, while producing results that equate to elimination of the stigma of balding--that is, enough to blend in with any regular non-balding joe, and enough to carry on with life on an equal playing field... that's all we are asking for...

please please please... these announcements are imminent, right?

if aderans and histogen can't get through the FDA like archaic PROPECIA and ROGAINE.. then, wow, that is extraordinarily pathetic

As rdawg pointed out, HSC's growth stimulant would have to be more powerful and permanent enough for DHT to render its effects on the follicle useless.

But we don't have a guarantee of that. Thus, I'd be fighting DHT in the meantime anyway. I'd probably cut it down to just RU or CB once daily at night right before I go to bed (but apply enough to cover the entire scalp, so probably 2-3ml)

Please don`t give them ideas!

Yeah that's true..but if we figure out the vehicle that was used to test CB then you would only need CB topically once a week. How amazing would that be? CB once a week for 40% increase in density and maintenance and then histogen to grow like a mother****** and aderans for whatever it will do and you have more hair than a young brad pitt

great idea in theory and unlike some people I dont see the industry staying the same or getting worse.

We are definitely making strides science wise it's just a very slow process(I mean think about it, you need to give a solution a few months to test out at least, so if that doesn't work, you gotta start over again, it's time consuming).

I think we've pin pointed the problem and we're coming up with decent solutions right now, nothing perfect, but we're slowly getting closer.

I think most people in the industry are f*cking idiots, they don't realize how much potential cash there is for them to bank from a legitimate treatment or even full out cure.

The market is sitting at 1.5 billion dollars a year in USA alone and thats with SHIT treatment, stuff that doesnt come close to what a 5-10k HT costs (effectively what Aderans and Histogen could charge) and even then HTs are only a fraction of the entire market, so that 1.5 billion is mostly on garbage like shampoos, rogaine and propecia. You give men a real solution and that 1.5 billion dollar mark will explode overnight, guaranteed. And thats USA ALONE.

If the treatments were available, id be doing everything in my power to take advantage of the industry and make money off of it.

It's all relative though, not everyone is willing to spend 5-10K to save their hair, especially if you're a guy in your early 20's.

We need a solution that's relatively affordable, that's when the market will explode. Right now all we have are premium solutions like FUT and FUE that cost 10K+ which a very small % of the balding population will use.

How many million people are balding? put out a product like Histogen at 1000 bucks and I think almost all of them would do it if it guarenteed at least some growth.

But that's another problem too, if it only works for some people, how can people justify the high cost.
