A vaccination against baldness

Replicel’s website shows dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells migrating to hair follicles when injected among other things. Let us ASSUME (big assumption) that their technology works and works as claimed.

This raises an intersting question of whether young men who are destined to go bald can use this therapy as a kind of “vaccination” to prevent MPB before it starts.

Injected cells from the dermal sheath cup (DSC) from the back of the head would mix in with the genetically vunerable DSC cells of follicles on the top & crown. This would create a semi (hopefully permanent) immunity against DHTs effect at shutting down the follicle.

In theory, it seems plausible.

The world would be a more beautiful place with fewer ugly bald guys walking around ASSAULTING our eyes.

I really don’t understand how this treatment could be permanent. And I really don’t understand how it could bring a Norwood 7 to a Norwood 1. It just looks unreal and unachievable to me.
