Replicel news and answers

[somethingsomething]

The people who are already bald are screwed, and if I was, I would just accept it. It's going to take decades if not longer to develop a cure that grows hair on bald scalp.

Not to be rude or anything. But I seen alot of posts from you and the fact you do not respond well on propecia. Isn't the chance big for you that you have lost your hair before replicel launches? I mean minox mostly work for 1 top 2 years before you loose all of what it remained in a brutal shedd . Are you using anything else except minox like treatments?

In my book propecia is pretty much a miraculous treatment, but is has shit sides. I know people who regrew all their losses on propecia and then don't ever lose it again. Or people who maintain for a couple of decades. If something can work like that without side effects that's good enough for me. I don't care if I go bald in my 50s or 60s. Also, the people who don't respond to replicel will probably be fewer (and women can also benefit) than the people who don't respond to propecia, since replicel is cell based. I don't see a lot of need to improve on the efficacy of propecia, just to make it safe. The people who are already bald are screwed, and if I was, I would just accept it. It's going to take decades if not longer to develop a cure that grows hair on bald scalp. If you talk to hair researchers now, they will tell you that new follicle engineering is coming, but not very soon. and when it does they will need to overcome the obstacles of dealing with a bald and inhospitable scalp.

So for me, if someone comes out with a solid maintenance treatment with no sides in the next decade, that's a huge improvement. Not to mention a treatment where you don't have to keep taking something or worrying about it all the time.

Completely agree, however, I believe we will see great advancements made in the field of surgical hair restoration in coming years i.e. regeneration, scarless, improved growth timeline..etc

I think people generally respond to well thought out questions and to intelligent inquiry.

If it's as good as Propecia? Can you elaborate? Propecia has been around for MPB since 1997. If one of these "10 years away" treatments like Replicel end up being as good as a drug from 1997, I don't see how that's something to be thankful for? 20+ years after Propecia, waiting, and waiting, for another Propecia.

RepliCel if it works it will be a complete cure , as already stated is only a matter of dosage and frequency .
Sdsurfin if you answered repicel much information to a mail congratulations you are privileged.
Normally biotechnology companies with phase 2 trials do not answer or only a very reputable journalists.
Sorry for my english

Understood, but questioning a man's integrity who is simply trying to help isn't the way to go about approaching that... If I found info that I worked hard to dig up, and everyone called me a liar... Well that would be the last time I post information like that... I understand if people choose to take things with skepticism, but you don't have to call people liars is all I'm saying... Again efforts taken on our behalf to get information like this deserve a thank you in my book!

I suppose he means the results of a good propecia without the side effects. Tho, I believe more in stem cells than just altering your hormone levels. I haven't yet gotten to read all of replicel, looking forward to it.

Exactly it sucks hair falls out so fast. Still, it takes more than five years usually for a hair to fully crap out, so hopefully this stuff will bring back a fair amount. If it's as good as propecia we will have a lot to be thankful for. Fingers crossed.

I personally beleive prices will be reasonable as they want to profit from majority not minority, in now day and age woman are also suffering androgenic alopecia!

God job! How did you managed to get in touch with them? Could we use your contact to address more questions from other members of the forum?

[Swooping]

Very good job on getting some information from them, interesting!

The main problem about Replicel is that would be very expensive treatment for most of us and it will be only in Japan, so most of people can’t afford to travel 4-5 times in Tokyo to get a treatment. And they can’t afford it to a big population, because they dont have time and sources to do that.

How much does it cost? Do you know something or are you trying to drive the price up?

You can get a round trip to Tokyo from new York for $1500.
