follicept - what's this?

[Justinian]

Again I'll say it one more time to you. People have tried IGF-1 several times including other growth factors. They have injected them directly into the scalp. They have applied it in combination with microneedling. They have also used these nano formulations. Many people did.Not only IGF-1 but also compounds like FGF-2, FGF-7, KGF, VEGF, WNT's, NOGGIN. If it was a success you would be using it right now, but perhaps that is something you can't grasp baboon.

Some PRP formulas include VEGF, IGF-1, and FGF (Greco at least), and PRP seems to have decent re-growth potential. It's not amazing, but it definitely works (~15% increase in hair counts) http://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2014/760709/.

Seems like Dr. Hsu also designed this:

So does green tea give back hair or was that a wrong research direction?

Hey Follicept!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer the questions in this thread. Please dont let the odd morons scare you of. There are lots and lots of us out there that really appreciate what you are doing. So often we are forced to speculate about developments. You guys being approacheable about your research is awesome. Keep up the good work!

And to those people that think this is a snake oil. Well, if that is the case I have to say they have really earned their money. Not many snake oils salesmen would dedicate their career to doing research, hire a top scientist for a front, develop a band aid as a cover story, use the university of Florida as a cover for the entire operation and film a youtube video with their own face just to scam a few baldies.

Im not a scientist and I dont know if Follicept will work or not. But I do have half a brain and to anybode else with half a brain it is obvious that these guys believe in what they are doing.

Yes. So does Dr. Kenji Okajima indeed; http://www.jhgc.com.sg/theory/igf-1/index.html (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21839661)





That's the study that sdsurfin showed. I'm convinced it will work actually now. DHT was never the culprit, low IGF-1 levels are the culprit in the hair follicle. Btw, they sell products too which increase IGF-1. Look at the pictures they provide with the regrowth, quite awesome actually. I'll order it next week. Seems like a cure imo (at least preventative). Hopefully the products by follicept will prove to be even better! Btw what's awesome too guys is that IGF-1 is highly anabolic, so its good for dem muscles. Dr. Kenji Okajima is a god actually it will also increase sex hormones, meaning increased libido. Can't wait to try this. To hell with only dermal delivery, both dermal and systemic delivery seems even better.

Haha

So DHT has been Blamed all these Yrs & had Nothing to do with it?
Rolling Eyes.

[sdsurfin]

Ps I never linked that study. That was off of follicept's website. Either way I'm pretty sure were all ****ed until someone figures out a genetic fix or a way to implant whole follicles. All this stuff is just preternaturally flawed bandaid.

[shaft]

I agree

This only FDA Drugs is just a band aid and maybe at best buys us all time.
As far I'm concerned these are 2 piss poor Medications and well past there sell by date & getting very old in this day & age.
Millions of people are just pissed of how slow this crap is and today 2015 we are no closer than we was 30 yrs ago IMHO.
sad but true.

I think the only way forward would be to clone human Hair follicles.
They can clone a sheep, why cant it be done with a poxy hair?

Wait what just happened?... Haha

[zeos]

IGF-1 is nothing "new" at all, has been used for ages, and dermal delivery to the hair follicle isn't a problem, has been tried by many people too including directly to the hair follicle, simple as that.
