Why are you always so negative? This is really exciting news! Their results are even better than they were in the pilot study, and I'm sure they'll probably keep on improving.
Even if all it does is stimulate resting follicles, that's freaking amazing. For people with bald scalps, it could get some of their hair back, and for people with thinning it could possibly be full recovery.
Do you not want them to succeed or something?
I dont think that is negative. Just stating a fact.

Then this product is great for lower norwoods, who can use this in conjunction with a HT to get back down to NW0.
would you want to go to a NW0, will most ethical Dr's do that?. I think you would look odd a NW0 at 50!

Why not, if I have enough donor hair?
TBH that argument of it looking weird at 50 is silly. It's a statement made by HT doctors in order to make the patient feel better about themselves with a more recessed hairline.

That post wasn't particularly negative, but there's just a trend of his posts being extremely skeptical about results that have been produced.

So what has that go to do with the treatment not working for men with thinning spots?

Hair follicles in a bald scalp aren't simply in the telogen (i.e., resting) phase. A treatment that prompts early cycling of hair in the telogen phase therefore won't do anything for bald scalps.

Where do some get the idea that having a Norwood 0 or youthful hairline at 50 or 60 makes you look odd? So what about all those senior citizens out there with a full head of hair (NW0) ? Do they look odd? Don't think so. Who really wants to look old If they don't have to? You are only as young as you feel and if you can look how you feel, go for it.......and another point, isn't looking young or keeping young, through finding a cure for MPB Everybodys objective here? Because last time I check , baldness adds years if not decades to ones appearance.
