Hey guys, I seem to post this question once every 6 months or so. Are we any closer to this at all? Any new news or anything? Or is it the same old, same old, "in 5-10 years it will be possible."

I'm due to turn 31 this May and am really starting to notice my poor hairline receding, receding, and receding some more.

The reason I'm not opting for a transplant is because I'm afraid of taking propecia, which I've heard of WAY too many side effects to make it worth taking.

Anyway, any new news?

Thanks

yep, big news... go google "histogen 1 year bald truth interview" . You'll find an interview on there that will blow your mind. I'd link it here but this web site wont let me link to the bald truth.... they restrict the free flow of important information



most docs on here are probably losing sleep listening to this interview

Wow, that is very encouraging news. Thanks so much for posting finhair...

Hmmm... That's very interesting. I'd be curious to hear some of the veteran forum member's opinions/thoughts on this.

Obviously those articles want to make it sound better than it really is, but what are your thoughts, for those of you guys that know MUCH more about HT's etc. than I do.

Thanks!

No docs on here are losing sleep listening to this. There are still many millions of men out there who have completely lost their hairlines and this treatment will not replace the need of a talented HT surgeon to recreate that. At best this treatment will be a SIGNIFICANTLY superior "conjunction" therapy to be used along with a great HT.

This news IS extremely exciting though !!! And here's why: if it all pans out and is available in 3 years, then I can FINALLY flush all of my proscar pills down the toliet once and for all ! That would indeed be one of the happiest days of my life. With one great HT recreating the hairline and front 3rd one should be able to get these injections and fill the rest of the hair in. It would eliminate the extreme stress associated with worrying about a HT looking unnatural in the future if the hairloss progressed to NW6/7 and donor thinned out exposing the scar.

So IMO news like this only makes me even more confident in getting a great strip surgery today! I'll never have to worry about donor thinning and exposing the scar, just get these injections and you'll always have enough hair to cover that up! And the whole lack of density issue associated with limited donor in HTs today would be effectively eliminated for most. So if you want Brad Pitt or Elvis's hairline (NW0/1) then you have no worries about that decision as a younger guy.

I literally PRAY that this stuff comes to market !!!

Finhairloss,

We do not prevent the free flow of information. However, we do not support links to promotional sites. This is clearly defined in our terms of service. Besides, you go ask Spencer Kobren if he allows links to this educational community on his forum. The answer is no.

Get your facts straight before you accuse this community of preventing genuine information. It's the very fact that we promote free speech which gives you the ability to ignorantly, falsely accuse this community. Now that you know our policies, I expect you to follow them and leave the false accusations behind.

Bill

Back on topic...

There are a number of promising future treatments being worked on and tested. Whether or not any of these will prove safe and effective and when is another story. Hair cloning in particular has been projected to become available within 10 years, 10 years ago. We are still hearing the same thing.

Regarding Histogen, only time will tell what happens. But anything with years of study left typically takes a lot longer to become available.

Hopefully for all of us, new and better treatments than finasteride and minoxidil will become available in the not so distance future. Until then, I remain cautiously optimistic.

Best wishes,

Bill

The more proper description of what is being talked about here is hair multiplication, not hair cloning.

i dont think we will ever see this, our childer maybe..

Like Bill said, there are some exciting prospects on the horizon, but good science takes time. I think everyone involved with the hair transplant community wants the next generation of treatments to be as safe, effective, and accessible as possible, and we're all looking forward to future studies and results.
