I have not been visiting these forums much lately.
So whats new guys?
I know now that PRP hype is over (read Chrome’s report where he says it merely stopped loss, for 6 months now for him, which is good, but doesnt grow new hair at all, just some minor thickening).
Follica - I guess ppl here start to realize how far off the treatment is. Is that right?
How about something actually new? I cant see any progress on this forum. You are talking about the same pipe dreams, is there really no new info?

The name of the forum is Hair Multiplication & New Hair Loss Research. All research is a pipe dream, no one is forcing you to read it.

Does anyone know if there are any risks receiving PRP injections 2-3 times a year? Would it cause tumors?
I think that tumors would be unlikely; it’s merely your own blood. The real question is whether it’s worth the pain of the dermaroller/ needles 2-3 times/ year.
If you want to worry about tumors… than worry about any WNT based therapy (ie histogen). Research has shown too much WNT cause benign hair tumors on mice.

Welcome back debris. We really missed your morbid outlook on research.

You guys think you can determine that it’s decades away. But whenever someone holds up a scrap of info indicating something sooner, you say that we don’t know nearly enough to say anything either way.
So which is it? Do we know when HM likely to be coming or not?

I know just a little about PRP, but seems much more safe than Follica.

Doh, histogen is WNT based as well? I thought follica was.
Follica’s “proof-of-concept” trial is nowhere-to-be-seen.
Histogen creates a few hairs (on a thinning scalp), .
On the positive side:
4. ARI keeps recruiting volunteers for phase 2, with a pretty significant advertising campaign on newspapers.

Will your future-self also know the difference between “than” and “then”?
I will continue to think that HM may possibly be 5-8 years away until the Aderans project fails badly enough to indicate otherwise.
I will continue to think that a practical HM method is probably coming in 10-15 years until the Folica project fails badly enough to indicate otherwise.
Of course Folica has not delivered a proof-of-concept yet, but the real world cases of the principle working are enough to sell me on it for now. They are early enough in the work for the lack of proof-of-concept to be understandable.
IMHO we don’t know enough about Histogen to say anything. But I am not very dazzled by what we know about the project so far.

My future-self would uphold the mantra that picking on people’s grammar (in a forum setting) is best reserved for the feeble minded, and meek.
I pretty much agree with everything you said, except that:
I’m not sure Follica really qualifies as HM.
I see both Follica and Histogen as two peas in a pod – they are immature “technologies” whose “inventors” don’t even fully understand, and these companies are willing to morph their “discoveries” any which way in order to get something out on the market, eventually. Right now they are far from crystallized into anything useful.
Both companies seem to be slick websites, high-powered boards of directors and scientific advisory boards, wedded to immature, unproven, uncertain technologies.
Aderans seems the most promising and credible thing on the horizon right now, but I agree with you, it will probably take 5-8 years for us to see anything on the market from them.

Your future-self might uphold that mantra, but your present-self sure keeps putting its foot in its mouth.

That’s funny, because earlier in this post you called Follica and Histogen liars.

Wasn’t it clear from that part of my post that I was talking about Aderans?

Nothing’s clear with you… I’m still expecting you to throw Michael Jackson and Dr. Rassman into this conversation.
Follica’s “proof-of-concept” trial is nowhere-to-be-seen.
Histogen creates a few hairs (on a thinning scalp), and they start to
fall at the 5 months mark. WHERE’S YOUR PROOF?
Didn’t I already warn you, several times, to stop spreading rumors, or did you forget?
