Bitmopost (allergen)

[neversaynever]

So you're saying Bitmopost uses PGD2 inhibitors? Wtf I thought that OC000531 drug was the only one fighting against PGD2...........

I dont think its an inhibitor. I think its an artificial PGF2-alpha, which encourages hair growth.

Cotsarelis has hinted that it might all come down to a balancing act between prostaglandins.

The prostaglandins approach is very encouraging. Increasing 'good' ones and inhibiting 'bad' ones might be the future. I wont pretend I know enough about it though

Histogen have said that transplants do not effect their HSC.

We DO NOT know how to wake up these sleeping follicles. ALL WE KNOW is that they still have stem cells. This is nice, but it might not be the full story. Perhaps there is a bio mechanism that will stop us waking those follicles? I say this, because NOONE has yet to wake them up. We can hope that allergen and histogen will do this, but stating facts about it is wrong. Especially when 'advising' people on their plans to deal with their hairloss.

Perhaps PGd2 is surrounding our follicles and keeping them asleep. So perhaps a combination of HSC + Bitmopost might cure us, but this is merely a hope. Stay positive, but do not mis-inform or speculate.

uhm no??? I'm not talking about regrowing your donor, I'm talking about the area where they inserted those new follicles.... I'm pretty sure there's gotta be some permanent damage guaranteed.

Getting a transplant without at least waiting until the end of this year would be the dumbest thing ever.

Hey what clinic do you recommend for FUE.

I've never had FUE so I would not be able to recommend anyone.

I was well aware of what you are talking about. The amount of scalp area that might be damaged is so minimal it would not matter. It is not enough to worry about.

"pretty sure" followed by "guaranteed"

dude you have no ****ing idea...

A very important thing to note here is that the actual amount of scalp area that might not respond due to previous transplants is so small it is insignificant. It is so small it just isn't worth worrying about.

Thanks Tracy. Hey what clinic do you recommend for FUE. I'm thinking about Dr Cole for CIT (whatever the hell CIT means ).

[Tracy C]

who says Histogen can't? All those prostaglandin analogs and inhibitors can definitely reverse your hair loss no matter what(unless transplants!) but...

What do you mean unless transplants? Do you have a link to something official that says Histogen wont work for people that have had transplants?

Or do you just mean it won't grow hair back in areas where there has been a transplant (which makes sense).

[Tracy C]

if that's the case, i can't see why something like Allergan, or HSC can't reverse hair loss 100%, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

They just haven't figured out how to restart them yet. Propecia can do it to some extent for some people, Rogaine can do it to some extent for some people and even LLLT might be able to do it to some extent for some people. The problem is, not everybody responds to current treatments the same way. Some people respond well. Some people respond just "so-so". Some people don't respond at all. Who knows why? There are many other treatments for many other ailments that are in the same predicament. That is why it is such a good thing that other treatments are in development. It is not likely that anything will ever work for every ailment and for everybody. The human body is a complicated thing. It just is what it is.

The future is bright

But how long

[the_dude78]

I'm pleased that we now have an active thread dedicated to Bimatoprost, which I think has real potential. Is there any way to tell whether Allergan is ramping up for a Phase III trial? I would think by now it would be apparent from the ongoing Phase II trial whether the product has potential.

In generel extremely uplifting to see so many potential treatments for hair loss. The future looks bright indeed. I had a minor fue done, less than 500 grafts, and was planning to have more done, but now I will definitely NOT get another transplant. I don't want to risk damaging more cells than the fue may already have. Depending on what the treatment/cure will be there's a good chance I'll be needing those cells
