    I dont know. From what I see, almost all men are going bald by 50. More than half by mid 30s.

    Definitely not half.

    I'd say the numbers are probably accurate, maybe 10% in early 20's, 30-35% by age 35. 40%+ once you hit 40.

    10% in early 20s? Why you're only counting early years?

    There is no way 60% of people by the age of 40 have ZERO signs of hair loss. Slight recession/NW2 counts too. I would say that about ~60% of men by age 40 show SOME signs of hair loss.

    Probably not TOO far off, it's definitely around half, but for alot of those guys it's very slow(a slight thinning on top that doesnt get huge for 5+years etc.)

    I guess I meant moreso noticeable kind of hairloss.

    yeah not all these guys would be visibly balding to the casual observer. However I have become a disturbingly good "Norwood spotter" and definitely more than half of men are losing hair to some extent before they even get into their late 30s, from what I see.
    But I live in the USA where there are a lot of white people. Maybe some ethnicities are less likely to go bald, I don't know.

    I think most close to all people probably around 95% show some kind of hair loss by the time they're 40, I doubt very little everyone has the same hair count as they had when they were 14.

    OK guys, in 2 weeks Histogen will officially complete their entire Phase 1/2a trials :)

    Not only that, we know for a fact that they ACTUALLY got very strong positive results both in terms of Safety & efficacy (unlike Aderans which is completely silent about what the hell they're up to :( )

    So we can safely assume that:
    • 2013 (Feb/March) will be the Phase 2b trials (48 week efficacy trial), and
    • 2014 (June/July) will be their 48 weeks Phase 3 trial.

    This makes October 2015 a very realistic date for Histogen to become available in Singapore and Feb 2016 for USA.

    Don't forget guys, Histogen is like "Laser Hair removal" just in the opposite way. Normally Laser takes 12-14 sessions at 2 month intervals to have a satisfactory cosmetic effect in a male subject, which takes approximately 2 years. The patient will then need to do 1 follow-up session every 1-2 years to maintain these cosmetic effects.

    Histogen will be exactly the same. You will have to go back for multiple sessions to get back to where you want to be, and then a single follow-up session every 2 years just to keep it stable :)

    To 2015 :cool: Hipip ..........
