Positive Outlook With Current/Future Science

[DarklyCharming]

When I first was hit with noticing hair loss, which was August of last year, I was overwhelmed with the feeling of helplessness. That this was something which would haunt me for the rest of my life, that I would eventually lose my looks and rely entirely on personality. It was superficial but devestating.

Now, months later, I do not worry about it nearly as much. I have a very firm understanding now of what is happening in the scientific world with hair loss and what is possible now with current medication.

Propecia is proven to work for the majority of people for at least five years. For me, Propecia seems to have stopped the hair loss and is maintaining. Right now, I can style my hair and no one knows I'm losing my hair. Down the road, Propecia might stop working. By that time, there will be options.

TrichoCyte is going to happen. The process of cellular implantation is close, and by close, I mean 4-6 years away. That's close for an end to balding. When this goes into effect, if you want, you can essentially drop all hair loss drugs and treat the areas that bald as they occur.

Ultimately, I feel I will have a period of my life that I will look back at as very trying, a tough time where I doubted myself and worth. Over something that is no longer an issue because science solved that problem. Knowing that changes my entire outlook now. It's a matter of waiting a relatively short time with a problem and knowing that the rest of my life, that problem will be gone.

Best of luck to everyone in making it through the waiting. That's all we have to do now. Find what you can maintain and wait a bit of time.

Hey, so what makes you so sure it will happen in 4-6 years and that it will work effectively? What is this cellular implantation your talking about and does it work on the hairline to make it grow natural like before you got male pattern baldness? I sure as hell hope it will be available in 4-6 years.

*sigh*

Look in the Research forum. I have multiple posts on TrichoCyte and Intercytex.

lol, yeah i just checked it out and thats amazing news man thanks! Lets hope it goes through fine with no problems and it works. Just one question though, where do they get the cultured stems from and are they non DHT sensative? Lets say they inject that stuff in a receeded area of your hairline will it grow back like before when it wasn't receeded and perfectly blend in with the rest of the hair around it?

 

[DarklyCharming]

They take it from the back of your head. The science behind these cells is that they take a very small amount from the back of your head and then multiply them indefinitely. Yes. They are working on how to make it appear perfectly cosmetically, hairline and elsewhere. These cells are not sensitive to DHT since they will be taken from the back of your head.

i dont think they will be able to make you have a natural hairline with implanting cells .. but so what . I heard talk that you will need to get an FUE on the hairline and implant cells on the rest of your head.. with FUE they can make you a perfect hairline .

 

[DarklyCharming]

I had read that they were working out how to do it on the hairline but honestly, if that takes 10-15 years to figure out and they can do the rest of your head with TrichoCyte, then like you said, who cares? You can have the hair removed, put into your hairline, and then immediately put back by the TrichoCyte. I'm very excited about all of this.

Great Post Darkly Charming,

Things will happen, slowly but surelly. In the years to come we will begin to breath a little easier and someday our worries will be minimal when it comes to hairloss. For now, we must battle with what we have and look forward to the future.

I agree Darkly. Things are happening! It might be too late for me to see a complete cure but there are some pretty good things out there right now. It will only get better. MUCH better IMHO.

 

[Petchsky]

I share your optimistic outlook, and f*** me its a refreshing one!

You're dreaming

I'm balding too. But you people have to wake up.

THERE WILL NEVER BE A CURE FOR BALDNESS!!!!!!

The reason is that drug companies would go under from no longer selling you certain drugs. CAlding affects so many people in this world, it's foolish from a business perspective to find a cure for balding. Just step back and think about it. Just think about it.

neomonk, you think Aderans and Intercytex care about whether Merck is making money? These researchers working on hair multiplication aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts; they're doing it because their company is going to be making millions if not billions of dollars off the procedures.

Do you really think these "researchers" are just doing fake research? I don't - I don't think HM companies give two shits about whether Propecia is making money.

 

[wotsthedeal]

I feel like adding that I think it's pathetic that no one has even released a photo of a successful HM trialist. Five years ago Dr. Gho was saying this procedure would be available within a year. I've really lost just about all my faith in him, and Bazan, and all the independant doctors working on this - I don't think they will ever figure it out. If they really had any idea what they were doing, you'd think in the last five years they could have at least had ONE successful HM procedure they could show us. The big companies, hopefully, will use their greater resources to be more effective. But at least the big companies aren't making ridiculous "within the year" claims like these other idiots.

How can you claim in 1999 that you will be multiplying hair by 2000, and in 2005 not have a single photo showing any encouraging advances? It's f*****g pathetic!

 

[Brasileirao]

It will happen sooooonnnner or later...

Hopefully soonnnnnnnnnner then later!

Dr Gho and hair cloning are two different things. Follicule mulitiplication is where he splits the follicle and it regenerates, which may well be bullshit, but cloning is hair multiplication, something quite different my friend!

And don't make me laugh Neomonk...I suggest you think next time before engaging brain, then hand and typing pure crap.

Have a nice day

TrichoCyte is going to happen. The process of cellular implantation is close, and by close, I mean 4-6 years away.

Speaking in non-hair context with regard to the term cellular implantation .It's already here. I saw a program on discovery channel where they pumped loads of liquid containing cells from a developing foetus into a patient undergoing heart surgery. months later he regrew extra blood vessells in his heart which improved his life dramatically.

in my country, one in 35 lasik patients underwent complications according to a survey done in a local newspaper. SO i guess optometrist can still make money out of this fear and paranoia

your just an idiot, no offense but speak so naiively and idioticly and you shall be treated as such. First off HM is a cure for a balding, however it does not stop parents from still giving to the gene to their children, thus introducing generation after generation to HM.
The only way to cure baldness is to disable any human being with every bald gene, undiscovered as of yet, from reproducing thus eliminating baldness from the gene pool

Wake up man. this aint rocket science.
