Will an official cure ever be found? Honestly

[No Cure]

You guys are very optimistic, I wish I shared the same positive vibes about the future of hair loss cures. When I first signed up to *H....L....T* in 2009, I was reading about cures coming in 5 years. When I signed up here in 2011, I was reading about cures coming in 2013, 2015, and 2017 outside of the US. None of them ever came. We're one month shy of 2017 and now i'm reading cures coming in 2020. I really hope it's true, but my thoughts about a "cure" are more in line with the poster who said 20 years.

Been lurking since 2004 and Intercyrex was supposed to cure us by 2007. Trust me, there is nothing in sight right now =(

[PatientlyWaiting]

seems you're not up-to-date. there is tons of new hot info on H+L+T. even an interview with tsuji labs.
tsuji is officially targeting a 2020 full cure release in japan.

follica also showed some new stuff on their website. they can create denovo terminal hair with their wounding device. question is only, how efficient will it be. we will see, but i'm personally very excited about follica.

replicel could turn out good as well, but it could also fail.

histogen is still a write-off in my opinion.

however, tsuji is the real deal. if they run into troubles, maybe it will be 2021 or 2022, but we're not talking a decade anymore. the cure will come, sooner than people think. we have to be strong for another 3 to 5 years. then hairloss is a thing of the past finally. to hell with all snake oil con artists.

I have male pattern baldness. Both older brothers are NW7, father is NW7. I'm a NW 2.5, only because I've been on propecia. I assure you, my hair line receding and diffuse thinning has nothing to do with any allergy, or substance I put on my face.

[hairloss2thickhair]

Hair loss along the hair line.

I'm about to just give up on a cure. My hair line is disfiguring, diffuse thinning is all over. Nothing is gonna reverse this. Nothing.

Hi BoSox:
I was just wondering, because your hair loss is along the hair line, is it possible that you are reacting to something you put on your face, like face soap, shaving cream, after shave or something along that line. I'm thinking about a possible allergy. Just a thought.

Sorry to hear that. When I took biotin I was also taking BioSil, so maybe the biotin wasn't all that effective. I am going to start taking it again but this time it is because my fingernails are a real mess and I hope it will help.

[k9gatton]

I am so sorry. Losing your hair is very depressing. Do you have any idea why this is happening?
This is the third time I have lost my hair due to stress. I always end up with a bald spot at the crown. Because I know it is caused by stress I try to get rid of all the stress in my life. Sometimes easier said than done. Next I take BioSil for the added collagen. Biotin is also good. I have been taking BioSil and I am going to start taking biotin for my hair but also for my finger nails that have started to peel and split. I am not a doctor or anything but I believe in building up a healthy body helps. Besides, I have not heard of anything topical that works.

Tried topical Biotin myself. It did absolutely nothing for my hair. It was a waste of my money.

if there is a cure, then its going to be a solid cure. There is nothing like it will slow down or halt the process( they aren't called cures). The thing is skull expansion or remodeling which is the major reason of baldness but we can't do anything about the expansion, we can't stop it. What they have to do is thicken up the skin with DP cells and DSC thing just like it happened in our puberty so that it copes up with skull expansion.
The bald men contains same no. of hair follicles as their full head hair guys do
here's the link

So its only stem therapy that's gonna a provide a solution and cure. For the first time in history, scientists are doing the researches on this thing. Before that there was only hair cloning and multiplication which means hair follicles from the back will be taken out and multiplied in labs and then transplanted back on the scalp but that's a cover up boyzz not a solution. In due course of time, he will be bald again. Alderan and Intercytex failed for the very same reason. RIKEN is doing their research on this method.

But this time its about the cells which maintains the hair follicles which indirectly causes the thickness of skin, so there is a good chance this method will be the solution.

Histogen- injecting the growth factors which causes hair follicles to reactivate. The good thing abt them is they have shown photos of their result, slide 15 was impressive.
Replicel- there is a good chance it will work as they are dealing with DP cells, but the downside is they haven't shown any proof of their work.

i asked abt the progress of replicel's trials in follicle thought here is this their reply in the attachments
they said sheseido is trialing their product in japan
i hope to hear from Sheseido soon.

On one hand I want to say "well people probably said this about aviation and heart transplants once, that those things would never happen". Some day, yes, they'll find a way and it will be possible.

Realistically speaking though, not anytime soon I don't think. If they do find a "cure", it'll probably only be something that stops any further hair loss, not something that's going to turn you from Vin Diesel into Lenny Kravitz.

That said (I'm no scientist so maybe I'm ignorant) I wonder how they can clone a whole bloody sheep... but they can't clone someone's scalp tissue and hair follicles? Really? The conspiracy theorist in me does want to say they (whoever this elusive "they" are) already have a "cure", but they make more money selling sham treatments to desperate balding men so they don't bother.

[tylerbose]

no, we're gonna die bald and miserable.

[Saltynuts]

Yea, only "cure" is going to be some form of hair multiplication/transplantation. I've been on HIGH doses of fin and dut (and harder stuff) for years, nothing stops it. Nothing.

[BoSox]

[skyguy]

Yes. On Fantasy Island. It will be possible, even after are follicles are dead and long
gone. At any age.

we can't say anything like this.
In the past, we haven't seen any kind of heavy research like whats happening now. Minox and Fin were discovered by accident and then they were tested to prove its efficacy. On the other hand, these guys are focusing particularly on Androgenic Alopecia now.
So there is a good chance there will be a cure(hair is a complex structure: they are dead cells man and it takes years to prove the efficacy of any products). IT WILL TAKE TIME.

Histogen--- WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU

[k9gatton]

I feel like we've all been told for years they're working on treatment they're working on the cure very soon they are going to find a cure. Blah blah blah! Do you guys honestly think A cure will ever be reached in our lifetime?

Yes. On Fantasy Island. It will be possible, even after are follicles are dead and long
gone. At any age.

[agp]

a question for more experts users...if we have an unlimited source of cells we need then we will be able to get in lab fully functional hair follicles ready to be transplanted on the scalp or even on this point there are still problems ? last problem is only the cultivation?
