    When I opened this site just now, in big letters i saw "Fin Syndrome". Hmmmmmm.

    Anyways, lets keep on topic.

    I see, thanks for clarifying that.
    But I was under the impression that follicles no longer producing hair are not "dead" as much as in a permanent telogen phase. "Dormant" I guess. Am I wrong about that?

    Look at those temples man. Those temples! This is the best thing this forum could get after Replicel results.

    Is it too early to speculate on price?

    oh and just on fin (dont mean to bring this thread off topic) and I know people have reservations about fin and i respect that.

    But stabilizing hair loss with fin now could be a very wise move. If histogen is released around 2015 it would reap the best outcome if as many hair follicles are non-DHT inhibited as possible. Also in the next few years, CB and other new antiandrogens may very well be available. So keeping as much hair as possible for the next few years should be a priority.

    Not to push anyone into fin, just my 2 pennies worth

    Not a huge cost I think. Its a product they can mass produce, and is only injections. Impossible to say really. Maybe like £4000?

    They might even over price, because in comparison it defeats fin and other drugs. But even over pricing it would probbaly keep it affordable.

    Who knows.

    Spencer...we need an interview!

    So this is a Phase 1/2 trial. One year trial? Can anyone confirm?

    Wish those temples were male temples....

    greatjob!
    The percent increases over baseline are very promising. However I see everyone getting so excited about the temple growth in the pictures, you do realize that is a woman in the pictures and not a man right?

    Maybe because women don't get MPB; they lose hair differently than men?
