Treatments are never coming

[Desmond84]

LOL, tell me about it

I tell you what though, my Dad is in his early 60's and is more than happy to grow back ALL of his hair... LMAO

I don't think age really matters! It's about feeling 100% you know

[dehadista]

I want a cure now!!!!

[burtandernie]

Yeah thats the truth age makes no difference as to how you feel about yourself. Hair is an important thing to almost everyone whether they really sit and think about it or not. A guy that is 60 wants his hair just as much as a guy that is 20.

You are correct. However the best new treatment to be available in the next 4-5 years will be bimatoprost for scalp. It will be roughly 5x as effective as rat piss (minoxidil) without the bloated face, sunken eyes, or god awful shedding. It will also work for a far greater number of people. Minoxidil has only a 40% effective rate. That is terrible. Dont believe me, look at the clinical trial results.

I've been looking through these 'future treatment' forums for the last few days.

HSC, PRP, replicel, HST all seem like a huge downer.

Most of them seem like something that'll be way way off in the future, years from now and the one's like gho, who're apparently doing stuff just now, just aren't producing results at all.

I've not seen evidence from any of the newer treatments that they provide cosmetically significant results, nor have I seen evidence the treatments still in trials are going to.
Replicel for example apparently produced a 6.1% increase in velus hair growth over a period of a few months, that's bloody pathetic.


All you guys holding out for some magic bullet, I'm sorry to tell you, but it's not coming any time in this decade and it's certainly not coming from any of these treatments.
A good HT and medical regimen is your ONLY option for the foreseeable future.

EDIT- if anyone can show me any pictures or clinical data that proves me wrong, then I absolutely welcome it!

Yeah, don't apply it your eyes.

So let's see...

May cause blurred vision.
May cause eyelid redness.
May permanently darken eyelashes.
May cause eye discomfort.
May eventually cause permanent darkening of the iris to brown.
May cause darkening of the eyelid or of the area beneath the eye.
Lashes may grow so long that they become ingrown and scratch the cornea.
It may cause infection if the one-time applicators which come with the genuine product are reused.

I won't be applying it to my eyes, so who gives a shit. Let's continue...

May cause a temporary burning sensation during use.

How will I handle "temporary burning sensation" ?! Oh the humanity!

May cause thickening of the eyelashes.
It may cause unexpected growth of hair if applied inappropriately, on the cheek, for example.

DEAR GOD NO! IT CAUSES HAIR GROWTH!

I thought bim was like 2 years away not 4 or five ****ing crap

Lets say you're a pretty buff guy...slim & buff if you know what I mean

Lets also say you worked damn hard for that six pack!

You've got a good personality, can hold a conversation and seem pretty confident whenever you share your opinion!

Do you really think girls care that you shaved you head or not!

I can promise you that they don't!

SO all you need is confidence and a bit of workout right! Now, workout you have to do on your own, but confidence, confidence will be from what I'm telling you guys right now...brothers I can promise you the baldness mystery will be solved in the next 5 years and we'll have our hairs back just a bit after that! Hell they've almost done half the job!

Confidence will come from knowledge and an open mind! From seeing the bigger picture...seeing the world from a distant vantage point

Focus on today...hit the gym every night! Pump that weight just a bit harder...do that extra rep! Punch that punching bag as if you're punching nature in its face! Read novels...lots of them

And I promise you, just before you know it, you have a beautiful girl in your arms that you'd give the world for and you wont care so much for your hair! and just a bit after that Dr Tsuji will rub your head and voila

Hang in there....life's what you make of it

[renordw]

I hate to agree with this guy because it upsets me beyond words to do so but i have the same feeling.

Quoted for truth

This seems to be some kind of mantra this forum repeats daily. I agree that some dudes look great with a shaved head especially with a full beard. But the only ones are like 6'5" football player looking guys, like Kyle Long. Everybody else else just looks like they have to do it.

Plus, not all of us want to look buff. I'm too skinny, there's nothing I can really do. My HTs have improved my life, but it took around 4 years and 3 surgeries to get any kind of natural results.

[itsmyhairs]

There's been a lot of name calling and shouting so far, insult me all you like, I don't give a shit.

Facts are facts folks, I know a lot of you will attack me for simply stating them because you want to live in an alternate reality where the cure is just round the corner.

SHOW. ME. RESULTS.
Show me evidence.

SHOW ME ANYTHING!

Histogens is just off the table as far as I'm concerned, that's not a cure or even a viable treatment.
Thousands of injections in your scalp every few months? Lmao, you guys are nuts.

The only viable cure would be either something that revives follicles and regrows your hair as a topical or some sort of cloning that gives you a full head of transplanted hair grown in a lab.

Both would be expensive, but both would be viable and realistic to apply/do.


I just can't believe they haven't sorted this out by now, there's hundreds of billions of dollars to be made from this if it works.
Even the guys that say they don't care would get this if it was available and worked.

Desmond mate you know I love you and your optimism but I think you mighta gone a bit far in this post, Tsuji said himself that what he has to offer is 10 - 20 years away, there's no possible way it'll happen in 5

he never said a product would be ready in 5years, only the hairloss mystery would be solved within 5 years.
