How does everyone feel about Follica vs. Aderans, Interplex, Histogen, any others ?

They all kind of run together for me as companies who are promising too much. I'm begging for results, but Aderans claims the most in a short time. Claiming a Norwood 7, completely bald man can walk in, sit in a chair, have this procedure done in one day and within a year have a full head of hair and become a Norwood 1 or 2, is a wild claim I just don't know if they can live up to.

Also, even though "Why oh why"'s post is a bit old, PRP has been proven to not do much at all for most people, unfortunately. Another one down

Some updates from Follica at last. They are getting cash but no scientific updates, quiet job or a failure, you be the judge.

Follica, Inc. is developing novel therapies for conditions and disorders of the hair follicle, the epicenter for the development and replenishment of human hair and skin.You would think that the online hair loss community would be thrilled to get the news that the baldness inspired biotech startup, Follica Inc.

Some Follica updates. At last, some word.

Pale_Rider,

Thank you for the updates. I've seen several threads related to this exciting article, but I was unaware that the physician was associated with Follica. Definitely eager to see how this progresses.

All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

That?s why I have posted the news, we expect a lot from Follica so what they have to say is double of importance in my book.

Did you see this under the "TISSUE SAMPLES" section in the longer article ?


1.2-mm- and 1.7-mm-diameter cylindrical punches are performed to remove bald frontal scalp and create vacant recipient sites for donor scalp. This normally discarded tissue from the frontal scalp was used as the bald samples.

It seems whomever got these hair transplants went to a clinic where they are still using the old punch graft technology in 2010. Can you believe it ?

I guess these 54 male patients are just modern day lab rats, right ?

OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
