    According to Cots follicles don't die but sleeping.

    Yes, but the follicles need to still be producing hair in this case. If they aren't, or if the hairs are so small you can barely see them, it's unlikely that bim will help create cosmetically significant hair.

    That's also why he's using a different method to create "follicular neogenesis." It's not as simple as applying a topical compound to your scalp.

    Yes, and in the patent for their hair growth solution, the most preferred concentration is 3%, 100X the strength of what is used for eyelashes. Even .03% works somewhat well for hair.

    Where can information on follicular neogenesis related to bimataprost be found?

    this should at least in theory be much better than Minoxidil.

    What I was hoping for in the next few years was essentially an upgrade on our old tools, so say minoxidil gave you 10% growth or thickening, I expect bim to be 2-3X as strong, giving noticable growth, just based on what people got with such a low dose. As well it seems we should be getting an upgrade over fin and dut(finally) soon with all of this PGD2 stuff coming.

    I never expected a full-blown cure now, but it seems like we may be getting some bridge products within the next 2-3 years. This is all just speculation btw.

    Expect bim to be out much sooner than that.
