The cure

[Runninghair]

Heres something i never understand when reading peoples posts on the forum. Most guys here complain about how they would love to get a hair transplant but would never be able to afford one. Then in same breath they say they wish hair multiplication would become a reality soon.

Ok so imagine hm becomes a reality and one hair can be cloned into as many as you want. These hairs still need to be implanted. Its no diff to a transplant, only difference being there will be unlimited donor hairs.

So in reality if hm becomes a reality not only will u need pay same amount of money for say 3k grafts but if you want a full head of hair ud habe to pay major money. So really hm is no cure. And most guys wont be able to afford it. So why does everyone cant get a transplant now get so excited about it?????? It really just a bonus to transplant eligible people.

The cure in my opinion would have to be a pill similar to propecia that had a 100% success rate.

A cure for me would be a one time treatment (many sessions maybe?) that has a 99.99% success rate and can bring Norwood 7s back to NW1. A pill that I have to take everyday for life I would consider a treatment, but wouldn't mind doing it.

If I understand correctly, Replicel is working on a cure that will not require implanting grafts on your head. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. If it's proven successful i'll gladly be in debt with the bank for a couple years if that brings me peace of mind about hair loss.

did any o you guys ever try aape?

We are no where close to the cure. We could probably go into another galaxy before there will be a cure. I think they will be able to make dead people come back to life before there will be a cure.

Clearly you have no idea who Dr. Lauster is.

If I had a lot of money I would just do a body hair transplant and buzz the hair, problem solved.

if multiplication came about costs would be cut in half because they would extract 100 hairs and get 10,000 perfect follicles from them they could just basically MASH in there without having to worry as much about placement technique and such.

One of the reasons I Wonder if this hasnt come out, would drive costs down I personally feel.

A lot of the grafts fail from BHT. You wouldn't get the result you'd like unless you had a LOT of body hair. However, if you combined it with hair from the donor area on the scalp, you'd probably get some pretty good results.

You need less grafts for the buzzed look, I would definitely need to work on the hairline in order to frame the face since I lost the widows peak.

I disagree. I feel hm would be more expensive. Culturing the cloned hair and then having to implant all the hair which wud be thousands if hairs if you wanted full head again. And as with all cosmetic surgery the doctors will put a high price on it. Why? Because they can!

Because we'll allow them. Generally people are complacent and have no backbone.

but you forget when the product becomes easier and less liable then more companies will join in the sale. Youd be able to hire one company who will JUST clone your hairs and then send them to your salon for implantation. Remember the BIG money is on extraction because it has to be done near perfect to get viable grafts. Most places then hand them to the techs to implant.
My guys did them all themselves which was a selling point. A couple of the big names around me said they use their tech for planting.
Either or, "to me" it would def lower the cost.

Clearly you have no idea who Dr. Lauster is.

then why don't you tell me about him while patiently waiting 25 odd years after which he dies or tells you he's "still working on it". may this Dr.Lauster get you your hair back.

I dont, but sounds like yet another quack.

lol he is hellouser's Santa Claus who will come and leave his hair for him in a stocking.

You and Torturedsoul are incredibly ignorant. Do some reading on Dr. Roland Lauster.

No one really cares who comes up with "it"; that is a cure or better male pattern baldness treatment. Stephen King or Doctor Lauster, yeah I'm down with that. Santa Clause!? Hell no. We here should know first hand that that geezer is terminally bald (cap prisoner)therefore seriously a likely ped. Behold his chronic rosey cheeks; that's gotta be either seb.derm or rosacea. And jolly all the time? Well don't buy it, the perv is ****ing stoned all the time. In case you're too naïve or nice to realize, Big Red's been breaking into our homes every 12/25 cause he's casing them, not out of the kindness of his enlarged heart. Coal in stocking? Utter nonsense. Merely crack pipe residue. Anyone who has read the handbook 'How to Waste an a**h**' maybe might remember that no one can ever trust a man who seeks or bestows his affections exclusively to childen. Especially the bald, obese, and old and creepy sort. Santa is out I guess that still leaves Lauster in. Forward movement remains yet to be seen?

A cure would be great.

However, I'd be very happy with a long term treatment that actually works.

If I had to pay a few hundred dollars a year for a treatment that would regrow my hair to at least a convincing NW2, I'd be overjoyed, as would most of us.

Ideal? No. But lightyears better than being depressed every time we look in the mirror and lose our confidence.

Think of it like this: some people need to take a pill or an injection every day for blood pressure or diabetes, otherwise they DIE.

So I could live with a daily pill, daily topical, or monthly injections as long as it worked and didn't break the bank.

For many of us, it's the time and the price. We see our hair dwindle and we fight for it and we know once it goes too far we can't get that hair back...not yet.

So a procedure to actually re-activate the follicles and regrow the hair means that at any point, male pattern baldness would only be temporary at worst.

Let's say you go on a long trip and you don't have access to the procedure and your male pattern baldness starts back up. Just shave your head until you can get back on the treatment, and then voila! Your hair is back to normal again in 6 months. Imagine the security of knowing you can simply regrow your hair at any time?

For many, it's the anxiety of lost time and lost hair.

There is no cure, not for our generation anyway. The best I can do is draw on my hair with a make up pencil to fill in the temples
