I disagree, not completely. I just think it’ll make balding reversal a extremely upper class thing, for a while. Even at 180k, if I were to guess, more than 90% of balding men could not afford that. The lower-class you describe is certainly not this extremely large group of men.
Gotcha thanks. Sounds like it's going to be pretty expensive then.
Problem was that even the dropped price was insane. I'd probably have to be worth well into the 8 figures to contemplate spending that kind of money on hair and even then I think its a massive waste of money.
These are not hair follicles though, they're like very small tooth picks that stick out of the head to guide the hair out of. I don't think it would as difficult as placing follicles but Tsuji did just answer that 50k units would take 25 hours.
I'm sure he's had a few, although that hair cut in that video does have the signature hair piece cut.
Yes but no one in the public eye (eg media, entertainment) will not have this procedure done if it's actually perfect & unlimited hair, so you just really won't see baldness in media at all. You're forgetting that these costs are for a full restoration. The cost to just full in receded temples for a 25 year old actor or social media personality is going to be 30-50k at these prices (10-20% of the grafts of a full restoration), which people will pay and already do for hair transplants.
Do you believe that we’ll get an update from Stemson on how their preclinical trials have been/are going some time this year? The pig results will be a huge tell on the predictability of how far away a cure is truly viable
Yeah I think we'll get an update of financing very soon. Then the pre-clinical data will be available in in Q3 or Q4 and they'll announce human trials for early 2022.
Thanks my man, btw if pyrilutamide becomes approved in China next year how would it be possible to attain it if you’re living in the States? Doesn’t it first have to be FDA approved here before you’re able to get your hands on the drug?
Yeah you'd have to source it off the grey market, or alibaba or something. To actually get it prescribed in the USA/EU you'd have to wait until they finish the other legs of their trials. They're running separate trials per region and phase 2 hasn't started in the USA yet.
Sounds good, I did read that they are expecting to somehow accelerate the trials in the US by presenting their data from the trials in China. I don’t know whether that will be possible but definitely interesting.
If you did not need anything more than ~2k graphs, I do not think you need your hair cloned. Regardless of age. (Anything reasonable. i.e >=25)
It does, there are several hair transplant robots, but they just are not that good yet. Most clinics do maximally 2.500 grafts or so (depends on the clinic or course) per day, so if you are talking about 50.000 grafts (or are they hairs?) it would mean 20 working days worth of being transplanted. Lets be honest, nobody in their right mind would undergo that, besides, if you are going to pack such high densities, at a certain moment the clinicians will have difficulty to place the hairs / grafts. It makes sense to develop an AI which can do the work better and faster (and cheaper).
What are your thoughts on the future of Stemson and what their prices would potentially look like?
20% of a full restoration would be 10k grafts.
