Histogen at the ISHRS conference

They are onto something too

I always wonder how you guys conclude that something from Histogen, Replicel, Aderans etc will work?

Is it because they simply claim A) "It works!" or is it because you guys (wishful)think B) "It has to work even if it doesn't work!" ?

So your thoughts are based on WHAT exactly?
A) or B) - both?

Ultimately its up to the public. Demand enough of something, and you'll get it. If the FDA decides to take forever, you guys (Americans) will need to make a STRONG push to force them to speed up the process. I guarantee you that if you make enough noise and work hard enough on your efforts you *can* get some results.

Demand it, don't just mope for it.

I've worked in marketing agencies before and even started grassroots political rallys where I've been contacted by Jack Layton (former political leader of the NDP in Canada). We spread our message long and hard and we ultimately won our fight.

I'm positive that if enough efforts are put forth into this situation you guys can get some results... I've fought before and I'm willing to fight 10 times as hard for something as important as my satisfaction with life... my hair means a lot to me, my self esteem, my confidence, etc.

Actually, right NOW would be a good time to start a push for this....

.... you know what, on further reflection I'm going to reach out to Aderans myself and hopefully make some connections with some PR individuals. Get the ball rolling now and raise awareness both in media and in the public and get everyone involved and FORCE the release of Aderans ON SCHEDULE.

I think you should also contact Histogen. They are onto something too

I honestly can't see this taking an extra 3 years to reach North America.

Can you imagine the media alone when this stuff is growing hair in europe, and the FDA says we gotta wait an extra 2-3 years to get it here!

stopped shedding, hair has thickened a bit.

Nothing major but 6 months in I'd say i've gone from a NW3 to NW2.7 haha, definitely noticeable but nothing life changing.

the thinning on top I think has improved the most, just thicker in some spots.

That's awesome! You should for sure be good until the new treatments come ATLEAST... I'm 2 months in and noticed some increased shedding of miniaturized hairs only, but I think that is a good sign my research says they will grow back thicker...


ALSO, for the FDA process, I am positive I read somewhere that they only speed up the approval process for drugs that are treating life threatening illnesses, and such, and not something cosmetic like hair loss..

[rdawg]

when you say working do you mean you stopped losing hair or regrowth or thickening of hair?

They could streamline it in the USA.

I honestly can't see this taking an extra 3 years to reach North America.

Can you imagine the media alone when this stuff is growing hair in europe, and the FDA says we gotta wait an extra 2-3 years to get it here!

I'd say one extra year to get it to the US, I believe ASIA is trying to do it in the style that the FDA would want, so that they can get it to market here faster(or at least something along those lines).

Pretty exciting time, get on some transition stuff guys! Fin just started working for myself after 6 months so it looks like i can hold on to my hair until then!

The are real stem cell treatments for far more serious conditions than hair loss available in parts of the world other than the USA, and some of them even work. When did the media last report on those? They have better things to focus on, like celebrity scandals - you know, stuff that normal people care about. The FDA is rigorous, and arguably for a good reason. I hope it doesn't take them too long to approve Histogen, but don't hold your breath.

i disagree.. the CEO of histogen said in an interview with spencer (november 2012) that asia will have by 2014-2015. and usa by 2017.

i hope histogen will have an all inclusive package that will allow people outside of SE Asia to come and get treatment

[koolx]

results are good it will be in Asia in 3ish years and probably 5ish for the US

[szn]

so i thought this was supposed to be available after phase 3 in 2015? Anyone have anymore details on the release date, etc?

[Thinning87]

Damn the difference between 2015 and 2018 for me is huge. Starting in July, I'm gonna put 1k per month in the savings so I can do the procedure as soon as it comes out, wherever it will be in the world.

[rdawg]

2015 asia, 2016 usa.

Not a huge deal though, you have fin/min to tide you over for a bit, then aderans and BIM are potentials for even 2014.

[FearTheLoss]

sooner than that...5 years...they already done with phase 2...get out of here.

I hope you are right brother, I'm just going off of what Dr. Ziering said in the interview with spencer
