Baldness cure on the market by 2018 !!
Japanese cosmetic company Shiseido expects to have baldness cure on the market by 2018.
Three more years…
For much of my life I’ve been waiting for this moment. Even throughout my youth I glanced at the hairlines of relatives and wondered what would become of me. At the same time I figured medical science would have to have developed something by the time my hair would start falling out.
However, as I entered my thirties and began to look more and more like an octopus was attacking me when my hair got wet, there still seemed to be no true cure for baldness on the horizon. They were out there cloning sheep and growing ears on the backs of mice, but they still couldn’t give me a little action up top.
And just as I raised my razor to go the Bruce Willis route, a ray of hope shone on my news feed. It said that the cure to baldness actually lies inside me and my delicious stem cells, and that the key to unlocking it would be available in just three more years…
This isn’t some chemical treatment with only a chance of working and slew of side-effects. Nor is this some implant or transplant requiring you to take a leap of faith in your doctor’s artistic sensibilities. It’s a method to kickstart your own hair roots to work like they used to back when people were making money with rock music.
First medical staff will take some cells to reprogram as induced pluripotent stem cells, the scientific breakthrough that won Shinya Yamanaka the Nobel Prize and a fancy new washing machine back in 2012. At the moment it seems fibroblasts are the go-to ones for the job. These can be found in joints and scar tissue. That sounds a wee bit painful but there is already research into alternative methods such as getting them from urine.

This is replicel, and let's not get ahead of ourselves, this is a very unproven treatment.
is it possible it works, 100%, but nothing has been proven here.
exciting to watch but don't go too crazy here.
I will admit the treatments have risen alot in the past year or two, alot of treatments starting or coming to the end of their phase II trials(BIM, CB, SM, SETI, Replicel)

Really?! Have I just read the title of this post and the first line is sheishedo?
Please you have over 200 posts have you not visited the cutting edge section?

i know no one has any real idea, but how much would something like this cost? A painful amount I imagine?
-
Maybe but maybe not. And it's all relative really. If it's below 30k which it might be and means you don't lose more and they have improved on there previous results then I would pay it.
-
I hope you're talking 30k as in US dollars and not British pound!
But yeah, if it provided a teenage hairline and head of hair for life I'd endure and pay that.

What´s the problem with his post? Maybe Replicel really has something for 2018.

This was posted yesterday. As Rdawg pointed out, this is Replicel's technology, although never stated in the article. Unless Replicel/Sheishedo have drastically improved results, this will be no were near a cure. I wouldn't be surprised if 2018 is delayed unless they start trials soon. Anyway, Japan is late. Wasn't Aderans suppose to be released this year?

They are aiming for stopping hairloss but their treatment will be low on regrowth.

Haha I did mean British pounds but I just rolled a figure out there as we just don't know. Sheishedo has a massive set up in Japan and has all the networking ect so who knows. I only rolled 30k cuz after that money your not gonna have much donor left.
Paul73. There is a thread which is like millions of pages long about replicel on this forum. You throw a title like that out and I would expect something more than a company which published some of its first ideas about its treatments in like 2003. I'm not arguing replicel has something, I think they do but this isn't IFLS why say 'cure in 2018!' why not post this link in the replicel threads?
Newbies will click on this and be swayed by buzz words when really they could visit a thread with replicels mediocre results, delayed timelines and revised new timelines.
