New Press Release From Organ Technologies

[ALightInTheDark]

137k based on what?
There is absolutely no proof.
And even it it's true, no average man (majority of the baldness market) can afford it.
So they shoot a bullet in their own foot
There is still other products in development

 

[The last of the follicles]

Pray that this will be a reality regardless of the cost. There are people who had illnesses and have no hair no beard and no eyebrows. This isn’t being made for your ugly nw2 hairline to treat your vanity and small penis issues. God bless those people if they make it happen. The transplant itself and the 8-12 months time between each one is the least of our concerns if you’re nw5+ or hit by illness and left with no hair.

A nw3 is just as ugly as a nw7 unless you're graying and it's trimmed short. I'll shave before hitting nw3.

That said I get a warm fuzzy feeling thinking how many people this could impact positively, especially teens.



Oh and if the numbers here are not real it will still be around that price at first, let's be honest.

137k based on what?

Based on basic economics ? Intial market is going to have a Demand/offer ratio that is probably over 100 000 given that they will only be able to offer the treatment to a limited amount of people : 10 000 per year as per their saying. That makes it the price will be set to the highest possible for simple reasons :
- Filter the demand
- Compensate for the very high cost of the investment that it took them to be at this point
- Gather the funds for futur market expansion

among other reasons i imagine...

While i won't be able to afford this treatment in a million years, not only because of the cost but also because i don't think that hair is worth that much, 150k $ seems to me a very reasonable price if not a low price given the nature of this treatment and the amount of people that are ready and able to pay more to get this done. I can imagine NW0.5 and minor diffuses celebs getting in line to get this done.

 

[IncognitoMan]

Excellent! I just checked my net worth, and it's $144k... now, to liquefy my assets . I just need to sell my car and my home and all my valuable belongings, and move back into my parents basement (which is nicer than my home lol). Fortunately, my girlfriend broke up with me (coincidentally after I told her about my hair loss ), so I don't have a need for expensive things anymore.

Seriously, $150k is quite the price to pay for a new head of hair. Although, if it is true, it does make me feel better knowing that a "cure" is possible despite the ridiculous cost. My father just so happens to be very wealthy -- and has most of his hair for a 55 year old, but does have a receding hairline. He and his brothers didn't recede much until they were mid way through their thirties, though. Also, he doesn't have a single gray hair.... what freaking genetics did I get? Since I've never asked much of him before, maybe he'll consider selling his Ferrari 488 for a new head of hair for me? Here's a question for you guys, if someone came and offered you $150k to spend on whatever you want, how many of you would buy a new head of hair? Or, would you pay off most of your mortgage? Buy a new car? Pay off student debt with spare change lol?

I can't get on finasteride quickly enough! Thankfully my derm appt is this week... pissed they advise me not to get on it a couple of months ago, since I'm losing ground every day.

What the f*** is this comment ? People with no hair no beard and no eyebrows have a disease called Alopecia Universalis, and Tsuji can't do DICK about this you moron, do some research before insulting NW2 people with your little peepee

 

[hairloss_user]

Are people just speculating about the price? Sure it will be expensive, but what's the point really as nobody knows for sure.

 

[el_duterino]

I am a NW2 - 2.5 ish and would rather go for Tsuji treatment than a FUE because tsuji provides unlimited donor supply which means I can have thicker density than a normal hair transplant.

I don't see why a NW2. 5 cannot have a nice dense Fue today this sounds like you have ample donor supply.

And we will soon have better maitenance meds on the market with no side effects to keep that hair

I had a Fue in 2014 and haven't lost anymore hair thanks to those meds

But now you can ask for a very dense and aggressive coverage, knowing that should you run out of donor hair in the future they can clone and grow it in labs

This procedure will be able to get a Bruce Willis type of guy a full head of hair but it's going to take time and money

Imagine how the Japanese will feel they dont even have to travel and wont be able to afford it.

 

[Mykonas]

Why wouldn't they ? Japan is one of the most powerful and richest countries on earth. pretty sure tsuji can easily find a few million people able to afford this in Japan

 

[That Guy]

Guys this is what they said on private Japanese TV network they did a bunch of interviews in Kyoto a few days ago after the announcement and videos of that bald mouse

Sounded like it will be available quite soon but super expensive, at least for a while

I plan to have another hair transplant to get more density over my first hairline Fue and now I will also ask docs to be real aggressive since we dont have to worry about donor hair supply in the future once these treatments become more affordable in a decade or so

Not that I really disbelieve it, but surely there is a link, even on Japanese YouTube to prove that?

Look for yourself - there are a bunch of links more in coming days I guess

Honestly if there is only one location able to perform the service I can see the price being that high. But as soon as this is able to be performed at multiple sites around the country the price would have to drop. There really are only a limited amount of people they could have this done at that price. Once that client base is extinguished you got to bring in the common Folk

 

[kevin west]

There are hopes of enlightenment on hair loss and money treatment. These two conditions cannot be compared at all. Just like the cure for the disease. Although I have no money at the moment, I have the incentive to make money to go to Japan instead of visiting the forums again and again. I hope that every research can go on smoothly and be market-oriented by 2020. Then I can wait. Wait until 2022 or 2023. It's great to work hard to make money for 18-year-old appearance.

 

[That Guy]

Or just ya know, take two seconds and post the damn video.

Anyway, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Neither that video, nor the article it links to and pastes in the description even mention price.

 

[el_duterino]

This video is the official press conference they did so no discussions beyond what can be officially mentioned

No mentions of planned release dates and such

They did more interviews on TV where they went to the labs and had more discussions but obviously not all of this is on YouTube

I thought it went without saying most of the Japan will not be able to afford this as their average salaries are actually I believe less then Americas and this is even though they dont have the travel cost which if your (assuming this is well over 100k) willing to pay that much for the treatment the flight and stay isn't even going to be an object they kind of even out at that point somewhat.

It may be easy for him to find a couple million people to sign up for this in Japan but I think it'll be more complicated than that international certainly just in Japan I doubt it. Japan has 144 million people we can cut most women out most children will be out. What's the prevalence of male pattern baldness in the Japenese people? How many can actually afford that and of the people that can afford it how many are balding and of those balding how many give a f***? How many who meet all the requirements above will even hear about it? Kinda narrows it down wouldn't you say.

 

[el_duterino]

Eventually this technology will be exported and made available at lower prices because there is a lot more bald guys in Caucasian countries

You would be hard pressed to find many balding guys in Japan under their 30's like in Europe

Type prime Minister of Japan in Google and have a look at his thick teenage hair line well into his 70 this is the norm not the exception.

According to the articles that spoke about it recently, he seems to create hair follicles, not extract from donor area and cultivate them. Let’s not discuss the peepee part though because clearly I have you beaten in that area. Burn lad.

Lol, so what ? Still not working for Alopecia Universalis dickhead, you really are stupid.
Just go read some papers about this disease, if you can read of course.

He creates follicles.....right, from a DNA free matrix ? Are you f*****g dumb ? Tsuji is now a God ? No biopsy ? You just fly to Japan and get transplanted ? How they will be resistant to DHT ? Cultivation is already waiting for you ? Geez this forum slowly sink into stupidity.

If you done some research, you'll know that universalis has nothing do to with DHT, you can transplant 50k grafts, they'll still disappear.

You maybe got a big sausage, and it's a big maybe, but you sure got a nut instead of a brain
