So how close are we to a new 'cure'

[sausage]

I am on the verge of deciding whether or not to have a hair transplant within the next 6 months........

But day to day I hear about another potential cure/treatment which is listed on this forum.

Ideally I would like some views on how close we are to a significant step up from hair transplantation and current meds.........

What is out there that is looking promising.

Aderans
Histogen
Replicel
Stem Cell therapies
Something else.

Intervention with the pdg2 pathway seems to have the most potential for the near future.

According to Follica, I believe we are extremely close. I'd hold off on surgery, just maintain for now. It's coming soon.

I think the NW7->NW1 cure won't come anytime soon. It might be even decades before we'll see it. The best chance is of course hair cloning, donor regeneration etc.. It's hard to imagine that they could have non surgical cure i.e. you inject something and BOOM you have NW1 soon.

However IMO there's a better chance we might see preventative cure that will keep our existing hair forever (i.e it will permamently protect our hair from DHT, prostaglandins etc.) in the near future. I don't think it'll happen earlier than 2020 unfortunately.

Remember that in early 2000s people also thought we would have a cure by now for example because of Intercytex. And what we have now? That's right - shit!

So I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now we still had nothing.

Follica hasn't proven anything yet though....

I am also guessing that by Follicas's method, hair will be prone to the effects of DHT, so the hair, over time, will fall out...

This would be annoying but if you could get treatment to counter-act the receding hair etc easily and at low cost then I guess I could cope.

Nigam is the only one being really proactive. At this rate he will probably crack the code and have a treatment before anyone else. IMO

Where is the evidence that follica has the cure

I believe we are many years, if not generations away from a "cure".

Your belief is wrong.
