    Yes HM - and even if you are starting off thinning, the cells they inject will create entirely new follicles or migrate to "damaged" follicles and rebuild the follicle.

    Sounds cool huh?

        Once recruitment is closed and you've taken a biopsy and taken the punches from the back of the head the trail has absolutely started, I don't know where you got that idea from... Also they have an update on their website that they've actually cultured and reinjected the cells already so now it's really underway. Cross your fingers.

          Science wins (:

          You think this will be ready by 2015? Or are we "decades or many years away from HM?" Like most experts think

            depends on the results of this first trail, because the material needed to be reinjected is derived from the human body it will not have to undergo super strict FDA passage like other products (i.e. Histogen, although they went to Asia where trails move faster). If it works as they anticipate then we have a winner and it could get here before 2015 I believe.

              Better start saving. Can only imagine how expensive this is going to be.

                Probably double the cost of 3000 grafts from a decent clinic.

                    Spencer has an interview with Replicel? I didnt know that.

                    Should be well interesting, they finish phase I in six months.

                      What's up UK, yeah I'm sure he does or he is in the process of doing it. He talked about it in his show and said they had "interesting" info. Joe from Staten island even made a comment in which he said that Replicel might be ahead of everyone. I know we always here shit like this, so it really depends on efficacy. We just need to hope everything goes as planned. Nonetheless, it would definitely be interesting to hear from them.

                        The video was pretty interesting. I think their process might be the one. If the trials go as well or better than planned maybe 2013 or 2014 will be the year it's released. I bet this process costs $10,000 at least.

                          I don't care if it costs an arm or a leg.

                          As long as the results are there, I'll find a way to finance it.

                            Cost was never an issue. If this process works (which doesn't leave scars all over your head), I would even pay $20,000. Having my hair back is absolutely priceless for me. I believe that there are so many people out there like myself who would pay anything to get their hair back, but they don't want their head permanently scarred for life.

                              It's my understanding that conventional hair transplants are expensive due to the fact that the procedure requires a significant number of man-hours by technicians trained in microsurgery. This technique seems fundamentally simpler less labour intensive, which could mean hair restoration doctors could charge less, lower the treatment price and treat more patients to gain an overall increase in revenue.

                                I know this is slightly off topic but does anyone know anything about the PRP doctor in Canada offering treatment? They have pics on their site and say it's $600 per treatment and you go 3 months after your first treatment and then possibly once a year for maintenance. Check it out at the PRP thread under the histogen thing on the top of the threads. Sounds interesting but I'm skeptical
