General Replicel/Shiseido News

Yes, unfortunately, there will be a necessity to fly 2 times. But the cell cultivation will take 5-8 weeks according to the information from their recent presentation from june 2015: http://replicel.com/wp-content/uploa...-June-2015.pdf

Be sure to save for two round trip flights, unless you can stay there for a few months. The first trip to get the biopsy, a few months to culture the DPC cells, then a second trip for the injections. Going to be spending about 3,000USD on flights alone. The treatment will not be worth it unless they can increase efficacy substantially. Would be nice if we could get the biopsy at our host country but I doubt it.

Even with zero regrowth it'd still be worth it if it stops further loss. But they got up to almost 19% regrowth after six months from one shot in the pilot study, I think we have a lot to be excited for.

There's a 3 injections trial, so Imagine just a 30% regrowth with nor further hair loss for many years. That with a top surgeon HT, it will literraly save my life haha! (nwd 4 at 27)

Does anyone know when their next presentation is?

Yesterday they replied on their Facebook to one of the desparate users' posts:

RepliCel has expanded its platform of technologies to include products for chronic tendon injuries & aging and sun damaged skin; however, this does not mean that we have abandoned our hair loss product. Please know that our doctors and scientists are working hard to move RCH-01 into the clinical trial stage. We anticipate starting the trial before the end of the year in Germany and even soon in Japan via Shiseido.

So they confirmed starting phase II this year again. Maybe they want to start it before World Hair Congress to avoid embarassing questions about their delays?

Well if they aren't lying about that "even soon via Sisheido", that sounds good as Sisheido could have temporary approval before phase 3. Fingers crossed

Shiseido's trial is really the only one that matters in my opinion. They have the power to get it approved during phase II and bring it to the market the quickest. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

Well someone better hurry the hell up because we need hair and the longer they wait the less customers they are gonna have because once this generation completely loses their hair they are gonna say screw it I'm already bald I'm not gonna pay for some expensive procedure

[Folliman]

I want to see pictures of the results so bad...
