    I hope so man. The lady who replied to my email said something like rest assured we are working on curing baldness. Then she said, but there is nothing in clinical trials right now. Check the website for updates.

I had a horrible day today, and this was the icing on the cake. ****KKKK BALDNESS. Its the stupidest shit ever.
    Didn't they start phase 2 trials a while ago? So it could be that they're just looking at their results, or preparing for 2b/3 or whatever. I wouldn't worry about that. Take comfort from the fact that if a company really comes up with the first game changing hairloss treatment, it's creators and investors will do anything to get it to market ASAP, because they'll be billionaires and go down in history. If follica's method is as good as it sounds, they won't just piss about waiting for replicel, HSC, aderans etc. to beat them to market.

    tbh your best bet are donor regeneration surgeries or histogen.

    I would take something over nothing any day, but I would much much rather have a non invasive way to keep my hair however that can work than have to get some hair transplant kind of thing whether its cloning or whatever they do.
    I want an alternative to propecia to just keep my hair like CB 03 01 is promising. If CB fails we are in deep trouble.

    Unfortunately fin is all we have at the moment that is proven to work. I would prefer not to take it too. But would rather keep my hair. I regret not taking it a year or so earlier as i was in denial instead of getting a transplant. Transplanted hairs are just not natural in the hairline.

    I hope some of you guys who have not tried fin dont come to regret not trying to keep what hair you have.

    Hurry up Follica we need a new treatment. That works....

    I told myself the same when I visited some surgeons. And they always talk like finasteride will stop your hair loss forever. All those NW3 on finasteride that have had a HT, they will lose their hair behind the transplanted area at a point. If finasteride stopped hair loss forever, that's it, we would already have a "cure".

    My GP and my dermatologist were against using finasteride from the beginning. I'm still thankful they didn't prescribe it to me.

    We need these future treatments to come sooner than later. Hormone effecting drug shouldn't be our best solution at this point. It's embarrassing.
    I think it's disgusting how we are encouraged to play with our hormones by HT drs and spencer - they should all be ashamed of themselves.

    I strongly agree, as a fin user.

    I think the first generations of these treatments will be far from perfect though, and won't take a Norwood 7 to a Norwood 1 and look totally normal. I would expect later iterations to be capable of that though.

    It's great if you're less than Norwood 3 right now and on fin, these treatments could get you a juvenile hairline and fill in any gaps without look weird at all.

    Purely baseless speculation on my part there, and probably a 'too good to be true' outcome in reality, but if events transpire that way... a whole lot of things that happened over the last year or so would suddenly make sense.
