I bet when they first tested on mice they had a few hairs sprout up and it took refinement, so why shouldnt humans be the same? i think aslong as it works to some degree there is alot of room for improvement in the near future. I just hope they get to keep on going and who ever brings a acceptable cure to this disease is going to be rich as they want to be.Comment

somebody should put a highlight reel together of all the funny speculation...
"if they do more than 50% increase its all over!"
"Do you think they'll be able to give me a hairline lower than my adolescent one?!"
"should I invest everything I have in replicel?"
I"m sure there are moreComment

chasing tails is fine, anything to give hope and take up the time... having hairloss at a young age is worse than cancer...you dont get the concideration of dying from others, but your soul is. these companys are all we have for hope.Comment

I'd be curious how quickly a *brand new* follicile takes to make a hair. Its first growth cycle probably doesn't succeed its second is probably not complete either.
Think healthy-ly fed babies. Some grow hair like mad in the womb, some have wisps for many months if not longer. But what about the same thing in an adult?
Given proper nutrition, and not boosters, that is.Comment

Jeez, people, Replicel may or may not be a flop, but at least give it as long as you'd give fin.Comment

I've seen the update also today, every little helps and while the i-told-you-so gang are busy smashing up another possible hairloss cure thread, take this time for positivity in this minefield i say.
I see it as the steppng stones are getting just that little bit closer together, before you know it we'll/they'll have a bridge we can all cross and we can then look back, and think, shit, we're here, we made it ...now lets get busy worrying over something else, haa!!Comment

I know I'm a woman and this is mostly a male oriented forum, but I wanna give my 2 cents.
I think that this announcement was made in order to make people realize that the previous results released were not all that bad. Of course some people will still think these are bad news, and I get it, 'cause we're all desperate for a cure (I should know, I'm a 23 year old woman with thinning hair, it's devastating)... but I still have faith in Replicel... I think they're on the right track and as has been noted before, these things take A LOT of time. These are new treatments, there's no background to compare them to, so results will vay a lot from time to time. I think that even if Replicel can't grow a lot of hair, if they can somehow make existing follicles immune to hair loss, that would be awesome! Sadly with science and new treatments it's all about trial and error and that takes time... I always remember that famous quote by Edison:
"I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that don't work".
And that's the way it is... but in any case I'm grateful thatt there are people working on this, and I think at least one out of the four main companies working on this will succeed. Maybe next year, maybe 5 years from now, maybe in 10 years... but some day, someone will make it. I know we all want a cure NOW - when I look in the mirror sometimes I feel very angry that there's still no way to fix such a fundamental part of my image... but I'm sure there will be a cure.
You know what would have been bad results, anyway? If this had somehow encouraged hair loss. Maybe I'm too optimistic or naive, but I'm one of the people who think that 6 months is still to early to judge Replicel's efficacy.Comment

I know how much we want to hear 500% regrowth guys.
But we need to interpretate the numbers released. We are not talking about regrowth after the use of Minox, Fin, or whatever, where the follicles producing hair are already there, hair strucutures are already formed. Donīt forget that this is introduncing new cells into the scalp, so it takes time for the body to establish them, evolve and finally start working(producing hair)
So, if from Minox we need at least 6 months to start seeing(if they are) results, and 1 year or more, from Fin, i think that having hair growth from new structures only 6 months after injection(and in phase 1), its definitely good news.
Oh, and with that little tiny detail: without having to take the chances of having your dick dead.Comment
