    I don't think I'm missing the key. You have a good point about the extra-toxic environment in balding scalp. But it doesn't mean #2 and #3 are a waste of time. Just adds an extra level of complexity. In this case it might mean using CB-03-01 and HSC together, or something like that.




    I agree. I don't think HSC will work on NW7 slick bald scalp. Not only are the follicles too far gone but the blood supply and other supporting structures in the skin have atrophied away. But I think as long as the follicle is still producing a vellus hair that breaks the surface of the skin, there is hope.

    At least, I bloody well hope there is hope. :rolleyes:

    I agree with you man. This is why I'm thinking on throwing in .5mg of fin till HSC or any other company come to market. Just to keep these follicles under control you know?

    But I am damned scared of permanent sides.

    If you are not thinning right now, but just receeding. (mature hairline?)

    I very much doubt you will be a NW4 or NW7 in 2 years.

    The guys with the aggressive loss are normally in their late teens and are diffuse thinning.

    I do enjoy reading your posts Pate. They are very informative and you sound quite clued up!

    I think that if/when HSC is released it will be a major step forward. On most younger guys the hair follicle is still there and not been out of commission for too long. Therefore I think that HSC would still be able to grow hairs out of these follicles.

    If you have lost your hair for a long time and the follicles are ''dead'' then HSC would work very well as an adjunct treatment to a HT.

    I'm just hoping that sometime soon Histogen do trials on the whole scalp so we can see how it works in certain areas. Crown, temples, top of head etc

    yeh - thing is so many times a mature hairline is confused with balding - it really isnt the same thing, when you go bald you're thinning very early on & shedding loads + even if they did cure hair loss I wouldnt want a juvenile hairline that would look stupid if you're in your mid - late 30's, it's the thinning crown & SIGNIFICANT frontal recession that's the issue.

    How much hair do you guys shed with aggressive loss?
