this. I'll be over the moon if a prodcut that does not mess with hormones comes out to the market soon which as just as effective as fin, I can empathise however, because I am NW2 I would love a product that I can maintain with for 10+ years then let balding take its course, If I was NW3+ however I think I would be more desperate for a regrowth product/cure to be out soon so I see where those people are coming from.
Agreed. I took fin from 16-20. Ill never do it again, even if it means going fully bald, which I'm well on my way, a NW 4 now at 26. Ill just be bald and wait until they have a full cure, and if it never comes, then ill just be hairless. I do not want to jack with my hormones ever again. A new effective treatment non-androgen based would be a giant success and a huge money maker for some company, while others develop the ultimate cure.

Very interesting that Samumed is also a main sponsor. Perhaps they'll lets us know of the phase 2 results at the congress.

Would be great if they gave us some result pictures, that would really get some excitement behind the product!

Call me crazy but I think the idea of getting out own bodies to do something they used to naturally do (grow hair on the head) is more plausible than trying to do it ourselves outside the scalp environment, and put them back in. The fact that the stem cells are still present is of gigantic importance and gives me hope that this is actually possible. Whether we'll get this result in 5 years or 20 is anybody's guess.
Yes, stem cells are still there, active, and it is possible. There have been bald transsexuals who went to NW0 in the matter of weeks after hormone therapy.
Also, the few actual documented cases here and there like the old man who grew his hair back after accidentally burning his scalp.
The question is figuring out the pathways well enough, or discovering a lucky combination, how to accomplish this without becoming a transsexual or jumping 'scalp' first into an open fire.

Good things to come and being presented at the congress... We need to start planning who can assist in representation of BTT similar to last year with Desmond in Korea.
I'm local and will try to go to a few session however if a member with a deeper scientific knowledge can assist it will be great!

I've never seen a transsexual go to a norwood zero. I've seen significant improvement but it was like the best case scenario with finasteride and minox

What information will the public be able to see however from the hair congress. I called to attend and it is only open to research. Same for the recent dermatology conference in Canada, Cotseralis was suppose to speak there but what good was that if WE cant see his presentation or see what was published..?

I agree. We had all the new theories in 2013, and hope. I would say no theory has become a reality and will not for some years. It is like the cure for cancer, we are closer but very far apart.

Heavin at Prostemics said their treatment will get your hair back after one 6 month period. Gee, could she be blowing smoke? Talk is cheap Heavin.
