Histogen Interview: Hsc Clinical Trials Update

[Afro_Vacancy]

It's always @That Guy promoting non-fatalism.

 

[champpy]

You're closer to new, better, working treatments than any other balding person in history

Haha ok. We're also closer to the destruction of the galaxy but that's not happening tomorrow either

The reality is who cares if it is 2 years out if it provides solid regrowth? I get people saying get a transplant, because waiting isn't worth it if the results come back crappy, but with results coming from replicell in a couple months, and histogen less than a year later why not give it time, and see if the results suck then just get a transplant till tsuji/jahada make their procedures more cost effective.

 

[That Guy]

The results from histogen are great and replicels phase 1 data is also great.

 

[thomps1523]

The results from histogen are great and replicels phase 1 data is also great.

Hope they come back even better after testing for efficacy... Everyone wants to jump to conclusions that replicell will be for maintenance, and maybe it will be, but their goal was for restoration! Fingers crossed!

Anybody know the cost from a norwood 2-3 to 1-0

 

[Stupidon]

Anybody know the cost from a norwood 2-3 to 1-0

No one knows the cost.

And actually I wouldn't bet on a release in 1 year: should the trial start in June, that brings us to June 2018, then you have to collect the data, etc... Most likely 2 years is a more realistic time-frame. I swear to god, this law suit they faced, fucked us so much.

But hey, we went from "5 more years" to "2 more years". It will be tricky, but we might come out the other side.

 

[Afro_Vacancy]

Two years is a long time for someone like myself who doesn't have super aggressive loss, but also isn't maintaining. I can't take finasteride unfortunately, and I've been on rogaine about 4 years and I don't think it's working anymore. So I literally have no treatments at my disposal. I just got a haircut the other day and I realized just how much I've thinned out on the top. I was able to kind of move my longer hair around up top and conceal it a bit but I've lost a lottt of hair in the 5 years I've noticed it going. Now I'm basically a bald dude and instead of just holding out another 6 months- a year, it's going to be two years, and that's best case scenario.

Time to go hand gun shopping I guess, f*** it.

Add RU.

 

[Trouse]

Add RU.

Already did. It helped for a little while then stopped working. Also gave me gyno in my right side that I then had to take medication to get rid of and it's still not 100 percent gone

 

[constrictedvoid]

Anybody know the cost from a norwood 2-3 to 1-0

The first question would be whether that's possible. If it was definitively possible, that would be exciting news in and of itself.

Anybody know the cost from a norwood 2-3 to 1-0

Call me pessimistic but I seriously doubt this is going to get anyone with any significant hairloss down to norwood 0.

 

[luiza]

Have they said how it's gonna work for people who live far from Mexico? I mean, can't I take a big shot of injections or have the product sent to my local dermatologist? I live in Australia, I can't afford travelling to Mexico every 3 months.

Easy, just wait until it's released in China, or somewhere else closer to you.

It's a pretty realistic outlook

I think the best we can expect is to build a good foundation for a conservative hairline reconstruction with FUE

 

[coolio]

Norwood #0 is a female hairline. The lowest hairline that looks correct on any guy who has been through puberty is #1.

If you have a big forehead, I don't think it's true....

It would be illegal for them to ship it to a country to be used when it hasn't been approved so better start saving up those pennies.

 

[zaman]

Exactly. You can be NW1 and have a GIANT forehead if those are your genes. People might think you are going bald even when you are not.

 

[mr_robot]

I was Norwood 0 going Norwood -1 at aged 19, by 24 was NW1.

 

[mdmnota]

How many times do we have to fly, haha I better start saving money
