Replicel

[Conpecia]

If the new stuff works, you're no worse off. You get a full head of hair and nobody sees your scar/dots. Worst case you get a few FUEs to fill in gaps/hairline.

I've asked about this specific point a couple times on here, and have received various responses, some of which differ from your response. Some people express uncertainty toward the notion that transplanted hairs will work in harmony with future treatments like Replicel. If I knew that I could get a transplant now and just wait for Replicel, or any of the other promising treatments, I'd sleep a lot better tonight. I'm not really sure why it wouldn't work, but it does make sense to my armchair-scientist mind that if you transplant hairs over dormant follicles it could effect them negatively. I'm thinking of a situation in which you transplant over a wide area. Just fixing up the hairline shouldn't bother the rest of the head, right? But again I know nothing of the science in all this, just guesswork. I'd like to hear what you think.

Wow, thanks so much for your reply Pate. I guess there are a couple things making me wait...mainly...in my situation, although I do have some reserves, I'd like to use the money as wisely as possible...MHT is not a bad solution, but it has it's potential risks and drawbacks as well, so trying to assess whether it's worth it or whether to save my money to wait for a better result. Like you hinted, it really comes down to personal choice, and with some talk on the forums of these treatments being out in 2015, it makes it a difficult choice for me.
