Hairsite can’t afford to kick any viewer off at this point.
There has been a kind of lull period in new topicals and new drugs for hair, so all the various hair discussion sites stats are assuredly a little down. This is also no doubt further due to the success of “the big 3”. Many guys have been able to catch their loss and use the “big 3” together and have sucessfully held on to the hair they have had, and have forgotten about it. If you caught your hair when you were a NW 1.5 and got on the “big 3” six or seven years ago, you likely are no more than a NW 2 by now at the worst. In fact, many in this situation are no doubt still sitting there at NW 1.5 (look at SEFreak’s photos at hairlossBalk folks, they are extremely impressive regrowth pics).
HM science is still in preliminary and initial human trial stages. Aderans supposedly is going to do a phase two here in the USA, but its their first phase two. Obviously ICX’ failure in P2 has shown this to be tricky stuff that is much more difficult to achieve in humans vs. human skin-grafted-onto-SCID-mice. Follica is testing wounding at HARVARD. Harvard would NOT be involved in any kind of scam. Histogen has already provided us with a pretty imrpessive growth pic in their mere preliminary trials. These companies have real scientists working for them and are trying very hard to make their investment pay off. None of them have made money yet, so you can bet these folks are working hard to make this stuff a reality. HM is much more complicated that making an alpha-five-reductase inhibtior or hair-growth stimulant, and there haven’t really been any new topicals or internals for a long while now. Dutasteride will probably be “it” as far as the last internal that might be approved for Androgneic Alopicia if Glaxo-Smith-Kline pursues it. Cosmo (Italy) and Androscience are both moving to phase 2 in testing topical anti-androgens. Thats pretty much it. Like I said, its a kind of “lull” period.
In HT’s, there has been a few years elapse since body hair was the “new possibility”. As we have all seen, its not as good as head hair and results can really vary, it doesn’t seem to be able to equal the density for certain of regular follicular units. FUE’s (or various names for them like CIT, FIT, etc) have become the gold standard in surgical transplantation. Thats about as far as surgery will ever be able to go. Now HM holds the promise or hope of creating MORE donor hair. We simply have to wait and check in on its progress or lack thereof. Getting mad isn’t going to speed the researchers at those three companies. Im sure they are doing the best they can.
BTW----I think Roger_that is annoying and probably trolling for a little business for one doc (who is talented, nonetheless) in particular, just my opinion.
