Replicel

[NotBelievingIt]

Two things happen:
1. The hair strength and thickness become weak and are unable to push through the skin
2. The follicile continues to get strangled to the point that the cycle is so short, it might as well not even exist. I don't think they ever go dormant, but perhaps they do. Something tells me the truly dormant cells cannot "restart" without a growth stimulant.

RepliCel's transplantation of DHT 'resistant' Dermal Sheath Cups will harden the 'non-resistant' DSC's and hopefully in doing so it will allow nutrient absorption and given enough time, those hair folliciles will return to their normal growth cycles. I wouldn't be surprised if a successful turn around on advanced cases is at least a year. Those early in the stages might see it within a few months depending on cycle.

RepliCel believes new folliciles might form, but its hard to say if that would absolutely happen. But if it does, thats why I believe a hairline HT might still be necessary to regain a non-haphazard hair line.

Its also why I proposed that if new hair DOES grow, injections near the hair line will be smaller in size to prevent odd patterns.
