I do not understand your Point why maintenance is not good for Business. If I were Shiseido and have a product RCH-01 which gives People sideless maintenance then I would not aim the People which had lost hair. I would Focus on the People which are maybe 20 year old and begin with loosing hair. They would all do RCH-01 to safe their hair so it is a really big market. So that is also the reason why in my opinion also Tsuji would not have any customers if there was a product like RCH-01 on the market. Who would first go bald and do tsuji? Nobody! They would get RCH-01 every 5 years and live in peace.
That is why the Aderan and Intercontex bastards had fucked our lifes. We would have been safe if they had commercialized their maintenance product in 2012
And I dont understand why you cant see the same history of Aderan and Intercontex may happen to Shiseido if RCH-01 could not offer much regrowth. People only notice hair loss once they lose more than 50% of their hair and this is why regrowth is the reason for commercialization. Replicel phase 1 gave 10%-17% regrowth after 6 months and Shiseido's job is to maximize this number (and obviously, 5% after 6months reported by @Long John Silver is just a shame and shock, I still hope it was a troll or he misheard the info) and if they couldnt, I doubt they will bring it to the market.
I dont expect RCH regrowth and full head of hair BUT, maintenance + says, 20% regrowth, is ideal for business, at least, they have to beat the current treatment, i.e. finasteride / dutasteride / min.
I hope as much as you that RCH will be available asap.
