losing hair after HM

[person_123]

here's my hypothetical:

you pay 10k for HM. it looks GREAT! totally natural head of hair, best case scenario, you have the head of hair you had when you were a young man, (boy if you lost hair when you were young). maybe even thicker.

dht is still in the scalp. wont you lose the hair you got from hm? ok.... say you don't, say the hair is stronger, it adapts to dht, or is immune to dht because it is young. or whatever, say they found a way to block dht forever with the microinjections (which they may well have, because they know that dht causes hair loss, so they wouldn't develop a cure that doesn't last, because we already have those).

what about the hairs that we already have. the hairs that may thin in the future? wouldn't we just have to do hm all over again? does this mean that it's best to be "really" thin before starting hm? or can they implant hairs everywhere anyway?

just a worry i have about it, but it's still the best cure to look forward to in any forseeable future.

Think of it like a hair transplant. When the hairs from the back of your head are transplanted to the front of your head, they will continue to grow because these follicles are not affected by DHT. With hair multiplication, they will take some hair from the back of your head, make some kind of elixir out of it, and inject these cells where you are bald. The hair that will then grow will not be affected by DHT. This is because the hairs that were taken to the lab were from the back of your head, where hair is not affected by DHT.

so basically, you're saying hm is like a hair transplant, but the hair is your own, it regrows, and there will be no scarring?...

i suppose we could do it twice. if we had the money. twice should cure baldness totally. once now, and once again in the future...

It's not really a hair transplant though, it is the cells that are re-injected back into your head and they grow hair. People speculate that you may need to get touch-up treatments, but at a lower cost. Bottom line is, you shouldn't have any scars, and your hair should grow for life.

reading that makes me so happy i want to cry. no joke. if it were out now... i'd take a year or two off college/university, and work to save up to pay for it. i wouldn't care how much hair i lost in the process of working, as losing more hair = more hair that will "grow for life" later.

and the no scarring thing. feels like a wave of euphoria...

They are starting Phase II trials soon, so we will see if it is the real deal or not in a year or so. I'm not sure when (assuming it works) it will come to market.

 

[person_123]

well, after phase 2 is complete, i hope they'll release it right away.

maybe some hair studio's already in some countries will adopt this technique... hopefully we'll open up a forum to discuss which ones to trust and which ones not to.

fingers crossed. hair waiting.

PHASE iii trials will then occur.

 

[person_123]

isn't phase 2 for trials?.... what's phase 3 for?....

damn it, this means we'll have to wait even longer.
