No dude, that's simply not true. The release dates for many treatments have been posted on this forum time and time again but I will repeat them: here are some new treatments with their projected release dates.
Shisiedo / Replicel - late 2018
Brotzu - predicted to be released 2018, hard to say.
Follica - 2019
Fevipiprant -2019
Setipiprant - 2021
There is also scalp threading, a new procedure similar to dermarolling but expected to produce better results. Read the thread in new research for details. Someone is getting the procedure done this month.
the statement "could be something in the next 5 years, or it might take 15" is just false. by 2019 we should see multiple new treatments. This is not optimism, it is fact based on what the companies has said. I understand that setbacks do occur, but even if they were to postpone their release dates, something new will absolutely be out in the next 5 years.
