Maradona,
I understand what you're saying and how shi*ty it must be to be losing/have lost a lot of hair. But in his defense, at least based on my personal experience, the slow journey from NW2 to NW3 was AGONIZING.
yeahyeahyeah,
Great post.
Naysayers, I feel ALL of your frustrations. But for those of you all who are NWscrewed and believe there is no hope, and thus bash X treatment, why are you even here? If this is your pattern of belief with these future treatments that haven't YET showed Brad Pitt level regrowth, then accept you are screwed, buzz the head and move on! SO many guys are going bald now, starting at seemingly younger and younger ages. It's almost almost a f*cking norm!

Some of us have very agressive hairloss and some people don't even have donors. So we won't make it with hair to histogen.
As for the slow balding guys, there is nothing to bitch about but there's no way in hell I'll make you guys them understand that.
Be considerate, man. I'm bald enough that I could give the exact same speech to you.

And btw, if worst comes to worst maradona, just go to Gho.
Worst case scienario:
No donor regeneration, with no scarring...Can easily shave it all off.

Its probably always been like this, just that more younger guys are posting on online forums.
Also it doesnt help that we live in a superficial society, where hair is valuable.

I ain't complaining. I'm just complaining I'm going to be slick bald so soon.
Trust me I have good evidence that this will happen.
NW 3 ain't so bad, in fact, I'm shaving my head if RU isn't so effective on long hair.
Like the posters said above, worst case scenario you can go to Gho.

Since this is a thread on naysaying, I'm still sort of wondering why you're seemingly 100% sure Histogen won't work in areas that have been bald for some time. What makes you think that again?
And don't worry too much about shaving. You'll find girls like it a hell of a lot more than substantial balding. If you do go that route and want any tips, feel free to message me. I've just about perfected the technique. Maybe I could help you avoid all the nicks I got along the way.
EDIT: Unless you meant "buzzing." Sorry, seems like how people use those terms is just all on where they're from.

I am not 100% sure, it just seems very unlikely. But ARI can definitely do that, that is their main goal.
What is your norwood level bro?
Yeah I meant buzzing it not slick bald, I want RU to be effective. I'm not buzzing it to get baldness over with lol.

But why unlikely? Is it just because nothing seems to work on those areas? I think we gotta consider the fact that stuff coming out now-a-days is nothing like the old stuff. Whether the new treatments will work or not, I don't know. But it seems silly to base an opinion on whether they will work on how well old stuff works.

I'm not sure. I've never been good at that. Usually, when people say they're NW2, I can hardly tell there's any balding at all. Plus, I shave it, ya know? Hard to tell. If I had to look at this chart here and throw something out, I'd say 4A, maybe a little in to 5.

Now, RU is the anti-androgen (DHT blocker)? I sometimes get CB, RU, and OC mixed up. Is there a source for that stuff?

Every time I speak with my Dad about hair loss - he's literally taken back by how many young kids he sees suffering from the degree of hair loss that they are today.
His words exactly when I was on the phone with him last time we spoke about it: "I'm telling you, back when I was a kid, NOBODY lost their hair before their late twenties to thirties. Well, I can actually remember ONE kid in college, I think he might have gotten too close to some plutonium or something!"
My mom, who has been separated from my Dad for like 10 years now (so have not collaborated on this) made the exact same observation. For those of you younger guys who are curious, ask your parents the same thing and see what they say.
Now, 8 of my 10 closest friends from college, including myself, are all suffering from some degree of hair loss. All of us started before or around the age of 20. The levels of severity are much different between us, but still, 8/10!
I am 24, and now work with mostly middle-aged individuals. I would honestly say that >80% of those individuals have either no hair loss or significantly more hair than myself. I am a NW 3. Of the <30-year-olds I work with, 3/7 are balding and one of them is a 20 year old FEMALE!2
Anecdotal, I know. But a real-life observation none-the-less.

Yeah but RU is stop your shedding, very little regrowth has been documented.
You may be right Histogen might work on slick bald areas.
If I were you and if you have a good donor, I would go to Gho.
Last I heard he is treating nw6 Dean Saunders.
I firmly believe it works to a good degree. You can get Sneijder's hairs at the very least.
