Who really cares if this doesn't come out for under 5-10 years? If we find out this is legit and can regrow your hair with it Chinese labs with synthesize it and sell it, obviously not as good as reliable and cheap as it would be to buy from an actual company but it is what it is.

Oh yeah, who cares when it comes out? As long as we can have hair before we die right?

He’s saying it officially won’t come out on the market until 5-10 years from now, but Chinese labs will synthesize it and you could probably buy it on alibaba relatively soon.

the thing is, the guy (super reputable scientist backed up by the government, and not some "professional" hairloss researching charlatan going after easy money) claims what he's come up with is essentially the cure, including regrowth/neogenesis, so it doesnt matter so much whether it will come to fruition in 2020 or 2022.
quite different than waiting for some questionable maintenance treatment.
now, what the real value and potential of his research are, thats another story. but this forum section is about jumping on the bandwagons anyway.

Yeah, but what he said was that it won’t be out for a decade... since they haven’t even started first clinical trials yet.

I missed that part. Still, I'm hopeful they'll go through trials faster if it actually works.
To be fair, most of those companies need so much time because their ideas for a product/treatment are utter trash and based on wishful thinking, and not because administration keeps blocking them. Its not that FDA is stopping Follica, for example, from actually starting their f*****g trials.

Since I am in my late 20s I hate that there will be no chance of looking normal again till probably my mid 30s.I feel like my late 20s are just like, canceled or fast forewarded through. I really hope this is promising, I really don't want to go on propecia. I'm a short guy, so I don't want to risk my slightly above average sized Johnson. If I lost that too I'd really feel self conscious.
I really hope they do this quickly so I can still have so years of being confident again.
I'm assuming no one knows what form this will be? Pill? Some kind of microneedlong treatment?

Probably two tropicals (PTD-DBM and VPA) + wounding, I don't know in which order

You mean topical?
I tried searching for this guys name in Korean to see if anything different came up. All the articles were pretty much the same as the English ones I saw. Also saw a video of him talking about the molecular biology department at his university or something. Idk, I don't really know Korean. I'm surprised I even got his name right to be honest
it's 최강열 if anyone wants it. Although since it seems someone on here has his contact this probably won't be useful.

my knowledge of korean is pretty basic, but I think he says "watch and learn, cots" in the end
You can fanboy all you want, but whether or not you want to accept it, Follica is going to be the first thing on the market that will be able to grow hair. They're also in the midst of the pre-pivotal optimization study as Noisette posted, which means they are on track to begin the pivotal this year as they stated back in 2016.
"But waaah it's over 10 years!" I hear you cry. Yeah, it's been about 12, which is nothing compared to how long plenty of this sh*t takes. Like, finasteride began development in the 70s, but didn't see a market release until the late fuckin' 90s. Most people here b**ch about that drug, despite it being the only thing that can stop your hairloss and it took way longer than anything else in the pipeline.
The cheerleading on this site is retarded: Just go with what might actually work and will be here before Musk colonizes Mars.

I think this guy has been working hairloss for at least several years though, no?
I'm not Korean, so someone can correct me, but I think it was just general stuff. Nothing relating to hairloss.
It's true that they tend to have hairloss, or even a muturing hairline, less often. But it does still happen. Their beauty standards are a little more up front too, like you often have to put a photo of you on job resumes, this creates a bigger demand. Not to mention there is a lot of medical tourism in Korea.

If it really took that f*****g long to get finasteride in the market, people need to stop hyping stuff that hasn’t even gone to clinical trials yet...
Dude your faith in Follica is bordering on silliness now.
How re you so sure? I am hopeful for it... but that’s it. Hopeful, not convinced.
I’m reading a bunch of he says she says from this post. You sound like a hype man that every hairloss snake oils have.
