2. It's not just a case of cumulative DHT exposure. The mechanism of DHT damage is not fully understood but seems to involve age somehow. If you stop taking Propecia you experience 'catch-up baldness' even though your follicles have been exposed to much less DHT over the time you took Propecia. If cumulative DHT exposure was the only cause, you wouldn't experience catch-up baldness, you'd just start balding again where you left off at the same rate you were balding before. It's like there's some sort of body clock running independently of DHT, and when the DHT levels return to normal, you 'fast-forward' straight to where you are on the clock.

I often wonder about this. Surely, it must relate to the aggresiveness of a person's hairloss. I understand that you lose what you gained within a year of stopping treatment, but surely you can't go from 3 to 5 within a year, especially if you taken fin for say ten years? IDK maybe I am just confused. Anyways hope replicel works out for all of us, even if it stops further progression.

Kinda close now aren't we, phase 1 results to be announced (more than what they've given us thus far) end of March, phase 2 about to be underway, everyone holding tight til then?, i feel the thread's gone of the boil some what.

If any of you, like me, have seen the amount of good things coming out in the news regarding Stem Cells being used in all manner of human 'improvements', you'll see why i am actually excited by Replicel sorting us lot out.

Though, on a downlow, it wouldn't be for atleast 10 years for the average jo to have this new advancement done due to the legalities, money and of course the queue.

good luck you lot, regards,

10 years? really? Both Histogen and Replicel claim that they will release their treatments in 2015.

i know i know sorry, but that's just me saying it, the classic 10 years sorry.

What i meant was -
released in 2015 (4 years away if end of 2015)
cash to get the treament (say 4 years saving)
balls to go ahead and get it done when you've the cash (12 months thought process)

umm, ok lets opt for 9 years, that ok?

You may have to update your profile name by then 2020, haa!

As much as it pains me to say it there's zero chance of either being out in 2015.

So many hoops to jump through. Actually that's not fair, they have to go through all these checks.

you do realize that investors too are pressuring them to release their treatment as soon as possible so that they can make their money back. It's in the best interest for those companies to work as fast as possible.
btw, Replicel has been working on this for the past 9 years. I'm sure they're very close by now.
We already know that Histogen stuff works, the rest is just tweaking and maximizing results...

The process takes as long as it takes. Nobody is served by releasing a product before it's ready.

People have been working on a whole lot of cures for much longer than that, without success.

Actually, "we" know no such thing.
