    We also have no idea how affordable this will be. This treatment could potentially cost overs $1000 per year. Many snake oil products succeed at this price. So if this actually has evidence behind it I would expect it to go for even more.

      Wasn't Propecia that expensive when it was first sold? Some people still pay $60/mo ($720/yr) for their generic finasteride. I'd be willing to pay that much and more. That's not a difficult amount of money to acquire for most people in rich countries.

        Propecia was like 120-150 when it came out. Aesthetic topical tend to be very expensive, look at acne treatments. If this is effective and comes out I'd expect at least 150 a month. Hell I don't care though

          If this is only a slight upgrade from minoxidil that would still be massavie. You have to remember minoxidil works wonders for a small percent of people. If sm could give a full min result to a large group of people that would be incredible. Mins growth potential isn't really the issue. It's the response rate

            Last thing I'll say is that if expect any results from this drug to be greatly increased with fin. We've all heard the "releasing the breaks and stepping on the accelerator" analogy. Well dht inhibits the pathway and sm supposively up regulates it. That actually fits the comparison exactly.

                      Very lackluster results guys... Really sucks, hope that is a troll post from forbes.

                      An experimental drug from a largely unknown biotechnology company has shown promise in regrowing bald men’s hair, according to data to be presented at the American Academy of Dermatology in Washington, D.C., today. The result is preliminary, and doctors who reviewed the presentation ahead of publication for Forbes characterized the results [...]

                            10 in a 1cm square area , they also did not metion if it made other existing hair stronger. I never expected this to be a cure , im just looking for a little more help then what is out there already. Besides growing 10 hairs is a start, its better then growing 0.

                              Ten hairs on a 1 cm squared surface area. That's not great but it's something. Dosing looks like it could be an issue though.

                                Thats it. Unless Histogen wasn't fudging with their results despite their pictures being suspicious, no upcoming treatments are gonna matter that much. The results from SM are lackluster.
                                We're gonna have to wait for Tsuji or LAusters team to produce new hair follicles in lab which is like 10+ years away.
                                Since Bimatoprost, Sm, CB and Seti haven't really shown us anything worth noting I think it is time for me to shave it off and try to go off the forums...
