So what's the progress on MPB for 2014?

[Dav7]

Just wondering how treatments are coming along, and if things are really looking up, or are we still stuck in the same place we've been since time immemorial? Is there really anything better to look forward to for 2014/15, or are we still stuck with the old Big 3/ Hair Transplant route?

[burtandernie]

I dont see much new coming out this year. Maybe in 2015 or farther out we could see something new.There are other threads on other new things in the pipeline like histogen ect. but none of them coming out anytime soon

[BDDFreak]

Whatever happened to bimatoprost? Is I'm not mistaken that's supposed to come out 2015 and is considered to be better then minoxidil. I also heard some things about topical finasteride that works better supposedly but still may give side effects. I think dutastride might also be approved for hairloss by 2015. Other than that nothing solid. If u want to talk 5 years from now there might be some more options.

[burtandernie]

I would take anything at this point as some finasteride alternative. I thought someone said a topical finasteride was coming out so hopefully just anything that has some proof its more then snake oil

I have to ask this.

Guys...will we break down in joy as well one day?

I wonder if we'll ever have that day as hair loss sufferers.

[ChemicalBrother]

why you waiting for a topical fin when there's already a dutasteride topical ?

not in our lifetime. maybe in 2050 will see NW7 > NW1

There is? It would also be good though to some evidence it actually works just topically and doesnt go systemic otherwise kind of defeats the point.

Yes, because of all people on this planet.. YOU know.

this forum sucks.

No.

And I mean that in regards to the timing.

They won't be transplanting fully grown stylable hair -- therefore the process will be a slow adaptation/accumulation and hopefully you don't even "notice" it occurring besides the fact there will be hair where there wasn't.

This lady literally had a switch turned on. Black and white. Won't be that way with hair.

That's true, it'd take months to notice the change as follicles need a few months to go through the growth cycle before hair goes through the anagen cycle... although at that point it would be where we would start feeling significantly better about ourselves. What's nice though, is that with each following day we'd feel better and better as we see more and more hair.

Doesn't matter, as long as we get to that point of a satisfactory lifestyle is all that matters.

Correct, the timing is much different.
It was just some kind of philosophical question.

But still, suppose one day you could get a working cure, and to have it work, you have to cover up your head for, say, one year.
The moment you unveil it, what would you do?

Would you just stare at it, thinking that your true appearance is restored, and technology has eventually gave back to you what nature has once stolen?

Or would you cry, like a baby, just thinking that you are so much luckier than millions of billions of men in history who never saw their hair back?

Would you start believing in some god? Or would you just simply smile at it, like you would to your newborn child, and then just walk away, out of the clinic, into a fantastic, first day of your new life? Happily thinking that it is so right to desire a part of your body given back to you?

Don't you ever have the feeling that mankind deserves to grasp the ability to decide whether to succumb to past genetic mistakes or not?

Don't you ever ask yourself why the social perception about baldness lacks empathy?

PS what do you think?

Sorry if I don't open a specific thread...maybe I should.

I'd sob like a little girl. It'd be tears of happiness though, finally having to restore what nature has robbed me of.

HELL NO.

If you believe in god then you also have to accept his divine plan, part of which included us today being bald and the other part of being social rejects due to baldness.

Yes.

Hell yes.

Because those privileged with hair have deemed themselves to be at the top of the social class and would prefer us baldies to stay at the bottom if only to preserve their standing. How else would they know their live's are so awesome if they didn't have others living in misery? Its yin and yang. Society is basically scum, I despise nearly everyone around me living a life of luxury, monetary or otherwise.
