Follica

[reckless]

if they regrew some hair, then why are they not showing us pictures ?

My only hope is that the results are so good that they are worried that it may scare their competitors!

Follica is under going Human Clinical Studies.

because they know they have it, and maybe it'll be here sooner than we expect. I actually find it to be a positive sign when they say "soon" rather than giving us the usual 5 years crap. Maybe two years?

They never said soon. That was what an article by Huffington Post said and they basically regurgitated information from older articles.

Why does a company going through trials show anyone pictures until its all said and done? Something like this is going to come out of nowhere where all these forum guys never talked about it or heard of it and its going to be a game changer. A lot of the big things on the radar will probably fizzle

[Pentarou]

So basically, Follica aren't undergoing clinical trials?

Conflicting reports, but apparently they are undergoing clinical trials

Conflicting reports, but apparently they are undergoing clinical trials

Spencer and Joe From Staten Island both stated they are in human clinical trials and both said that Follica succesfully grew hair through NEOGENESIS.

Puretech Ventures which is funding Follica, clearly states on their website they are in Human Clinical Trials:

From what I've read/heard, Follica doesn't need a complete 3 phase trials as the substances theyre using to generate new follicles are 'known substances' and apparently they only need approval for the wounding device (which, what we know from the released patents is a laser). If anyone has more concrete info, please correct me on any of the points i've made, im not 100% sure, theres too much info coming through the pipes lately with all the hair loss solutions (which, is a good thing, finally)

[yeahyeahyeah]

So why is it taking AGES to get it onto market?

i for one think follica could really be something huge. you can't rush it. once they know it's safe and get approval on the device they use i'm sure it'll be here. exciting stuff regardless. what i really wanna know is what kind of hairs they can grow. if it's just white crappy hair that would suck. cause if it's thick terminal hair we're all cured pretty much with this procedure, unless for some reason your body rejects it

[reckless]

Well they were able to grow proper hair on the mice, full coverage.

We can only hope it does the same for humans.

If it's just going to give average minoxidil results then they won't have many takers.

Or it could be like aderans, delaying and delaying until the truth comes out.

If I had the answer for you, I'd tell you. I really don't know. But every day that Follica isn't selling their procedure is a day of lost revenue and profits. The hair loss industry is insanely gigantic, I hope they realize that the sooner they release a working product the sooner we can all stuff their revenue stream with millions upon millions of dollars (collectively). There's nothing on the market now that would compete with them, HT's would essentially be rendered stone age treatments (other than potential regeneration, which isn't verified yet either). They'd basically have the ENTIRE market to themselves, a multi-billion dollar industry to capitalize on with ZERO competitors. They better know how much theyre losing out on while not having a product.

[Artha]

I hope this is the real deal!

The hair loss industry is insanely gigantic

Indeed, this is what they say here:

Treatments for conditions of the follicle account for a total market exceeding $10 billion annually, despite a lack of truly effective solutions.
