If this is in fact anything close to a "cure," and it's coming out in about 2 or so years, then that's just amazing. I will start saving now to fly out to Japan, have them harvest the dermal sheath cup cells, then before I leave, have the treatment done.

Technically it isn't a cure all because they stated that follicles must be present for the treatment to work. So if you have hair then it's awesome, but for people with more advanced balding, it really won't be that beneficial.

I agree, but still, those who have been balding for many years still have many active follicles, even if the hair is short, thin, and wispy. Just may mean that person would require more treatment. The ones who are screwed are those whose scalps are so bare, that they are shiny, with little or no evidence of vellus hairs.

in part 2 they speak abot new follicle formation and in the old video of rch01 a bald guy regrows hair.

[iamanidiot]

for me the best realistic scenario we could excpect it would be if in 2018, with replicel, we could get back the hair that we have today in 2015... it would be a success...

The main reason why hair loss science is not progresing enough is just like Tsuji said in video that there are only 50 hair loss scientist in this moment. For cancer and heart there are around 10.000 scientist. Its big difference. Science dont pay too much attention on MPB and thats why there is no fast progress just like we want to.

And the sickest thing of all is that the pathology of AGA is incredibly hard to reverse in it's nature. Sometimes even the most aggressive and harsh cancers sporadically get cured without any intervention.

AGA? Zero recorded cases in history. Go figure.

[Ziggyz123]

Yeah totally agree with all. I hope something crazy happens and they release it sooner

We should all meet up in Japan when that happens and say peace out to progressive balding

In part two they talk about Tsuji and his research. It is different than replicel. It's confusing with that title but it has nothing to do with replicel

[FooFighter]

I dont know when is this documentary filmed, but its really nice to see that Tsuji is in the game still and working on solution for hair loss. Its too bad that we are not born 10 years later, lol!

Bad News?!

Replicel has changed subtitles for part 1 video:

old:
"So people who have taken cancer drugs, have injuries or burns or are bald - this technology cannot apply to these people"


new:
"Health condition such as hereditary conditions or as a result of injuries, burns or the use of anti-cancer drugs. This technology can't be applied to those people"


What does it mean? Is there difference between hair thinning and pattern baldness?

[Ziggyz123]

Yeah what the hell? Pattern baldness is a hereditary condition lol....

[macbeth81]

Could be speaking about other hair loss conditions such as Alopecia Areata.

[TooMuchHairWontKillYou]

They should choose every word correctly. Millions of eyes are watching them! btw I don't think they meant AA

[brocktherock]

Even with zero regrowth, HT would be a viable long term solution. I waited a few years to schedule mine because I realized I was still losing a lot. If it has 20% permanant regrowth and no further loss then I will be 100% satisfied. I think if you saved the remaining hair, then shock loss wouldn't be permanant either so you could fill in the weak points as needed with HT. Im thrilled for this to come out.

[Ziggyz123]

Well that kinda killed the hope for me.
