    Desmond... the cure has been "5 years away" for the past 40 years.

    Come 2018 we'll be saying the same thing.

      OK consider this scenario:

      Tsuji lab initiates its first in man trial (Phase I/IIa) in 2017! Hairs start to grow and connects to nerves and muscles! Initially they'll be only filling in temples or small bald spots being Phase I...

      Now from that point to market availability we're looking at around 4 years!

      I can promise you that knowing that it works, you will be carefree for the remaining 4 years! Most ppl will just drop fin and wait!

      So yes, maybe we're not there yet, but once we have positive human data we are cured both mentally and (ultimately) physically!

      Unfortunately, negativity and always saying NEVER will serve no purpose to anyone and ultimately will bring your mood and whole bunch of other ppl's mood down! and why when you know there are ways to fix it

They already succeeded at creating a bio-engineered human hair follicle that functioned perfectly and produced human hair. From now on it's just a matter of perfecting things and running clinical trials. However 5 years sound quite optimistic, I'd say 7-8 years.
        I'm actually not being sarcastic.

        The pace new approaches and methods are developing is INCREDIBLE! Basically we're getting news each week about new methods under way. As I said I strongly believe we'll have a NW6 -> NW2 solution with regular density in 4 years or less.

          Lol thx Shan I doubt he doesn't know! He tries to help ppl today instead of keeping them in misery till something better comes along! and that is awesome

          I don't think anyone should be reading the cutting edge forum b4 doing something about their hair in the first place!

            14 years or more is a much more realistic guesstimate.

              I'll stick to mine and lets meet on may 4th 2017. If donor regeneration works as promised by doctors (nigam, gho, french dude, who knows who else...) we can have NW6 - 2 even today.

              Loser pays $100.

              May the 4th be with you.

                  Desmond, you are a messenger of hope! All this is great news! Thanks

                  I would just want to know if these future treatments are possible to get (and have good results from) even though we go on and have a hairtransplant to day.

                  If this is possible and compatible with the future treatments, then some of us have some kind of cure allready. One or maybe two treatments with Gho or any of the other docs, and then go on with a treatment from Aderans, Tsuji og who ever comes to market first... Anyone have any thoughts about this? Is it logic that these treatments are compatible with todays hairtransplants?

                  Ah...the wait!

                    Agreed

                    I am only 1500 grafts from getting a NW1 hairline again. Im ina pub right now, there's a girl i like and i wish i had no signs of recession lol

                    I reckon gho treatments could hold me for 5 years until other options are available. It's just the uncertainty that prevents me from doing anything

                      The $10-15 thousand dollar price tag is also a major turn off.

                        Yeah that as well. I don't like the idea of spending all my savings on a gho treatment when it could go in a deposit on a flat.

                        What a sh.it dilemma!

                          I'm in the SAME boat, I'm not spending any of my money, just saving it all at this point. I'm seriously thinking about going in for a Gho procedure but would MUCH rather have all that go towards a downpayment for a condo.

                          This is exactly why I hope to Joe Pesci (not god) that BNP-32 works out. If it can restore a relatively recently destoyed hairline, I won't need to spend the $10k+ on a damn procedure.

                            Yeah b I am a bit skeptical about new experimental treatments. I have cb but it makes my hair feel like shit.

                            I just need something that will come out and work!

                              How long have you been using CB? Do you have positive effects even though it makes your hair feel like shit?
