Haters gon' Hate
or should they wait 10/15 years until they get 100% results and replicel/follica is already at your local store?
One product is sure to dominate the market if it's fairly effective and comes first.Comment

Yeah my understanding is that Histogen hair will last as long as your original hair before you started balding. Do if you started balding at 30 you get another 30 years. Im sure by then none of this will matter and entirely new and different options will be available.
So who cares if Histogen hair isnt truly permament :P
1. You don't go through baldness until adolesence. So if you start balding at 25 and hit puberty at 15 that's only 10 years. Which is still great but... Problem #2 is a bit more of an issue.
2. It's not just a case of cumulative DHT exposure. The mechanism of DHT damage is not fully understood but seems to involve age somehow. If you stop taking Propecia you experience 'catch-up baldness' even though your follicles have been exposed to much less DHT over the time you took Propecia. If cumulative DHT exposure was the only cause, you wouldn't experience catch-up baldness, you'd just start balding again where you left off at the same rate you were balding before. It's like there's some sort of body clock running independently of DHT, and when the DHT levels return to normal, you 'fast-forward' straight to where you are on the clock.
So I think realistically we just have no idea how long Histogen will last and there's only one way to find out - conduct the trials and wait and see.
But even if it only lasts two years, I don't even care. I would sit through a series of injections every two years if it restored me my flowing locks.Comment

Kinda close now aren't we, phase 1 results to be announced (more than what they've given us thus far) end of March, phase 2 about to be underway, everyone holding tight til then?, i feel the thread's gone of the boil some what.
If any of you, like me, have seen the amount of good things coming out in the news regarding Stem Cells being used in all manner of human 'improvements', you'll see why i am actually excited by Replicel sorting us lot out.
Though, on a downlow, it wouldn't be for atleast 10 years for the average jo to have this new advancement done due to the legalities, money and of course the queue.
good luck you lot, regards,

i know i know sorry, but that's just me saying it, the classic 10 years sorry.
What i meant was -
released in 2015 (4 years away if end of 2015)
cash to get the treament (say 4 years saving)
balls to go ahead and get it done when you've the cash (12 months thought process)
umm, ok lets opt for 9 years, that ok?
You may have to update your profile name by then 2020, haa!
regrads,

So many hoops to jump through. Actually that's not fair, they have to go through all these checks.Comment

btw, Replicel has been working on this for the past 9 years. I'm sure they're very close by now.
We already know that Histogen stuff works, the rest is just tweaking and maximizing results...Comment
