There might not be any viable treatments in our lifetimes. There might be one in ten to twenty years. There could be one in the next five years. No one knows if anything is going to come about, not even the most knowledgeable researchers in the world like Dr. Cotsarelis. But we are living in a time, the very first time I believe, when very sophisticated medical research is really leading to an understanding of the mechanisms of hair loss and applying that understanding to developing treatments. There is reason for some cautious optimism but I personally don't think anything is right around the corner, although Histogen/Aderans supporters might disagree. At this time, I remain interested in Bimatoprost and will be watching the developments over the next year and a half.

Agree with this 100%, alot of reason for cautious optimism but unfortunately this biotech industry moves at SUCH a slow pace I cant imagine anything significant being done without going grey market and taking a few risks.

I think histogen will come out and give you a solid 20-30% hairloss boost which is great, but full-out cures and alternatives wont be coming in the next few years, unless we go out ourselves and buy a product in early trials, which in itself is very risky!

judging from the latest theories, it seems to me that it wont be one single thing that cures your hairloss, but a combination of 2-3 different medicines(say PGD2 inhibitors, wounding/FGF9 to kickstart the cell, then PGE2 supporters) PGE2 we have in a minor way with say Minoxidil or the oils i believe, PGD2 we are very close to finding something grey market wise, however the major need may be that FGF9 wounding process, which I dont believe we may be able to do ourselves yet.

I think single medicines like histogen may reinforce and boost your hair, or FIN may maintain your hair, but i think the process to actually reverse hairloss will take multiple things.
