Regular Member Badger Posted August 21, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2007 I e mailed them and asked them the same question a while back. This is the response i got: Thank you for your interest in Follica. We are extremely excited about the research and are working diligently to translate the findings into clinical treatments. We cannot anticipate precisely when this will be launched as a commercial product, nor have we announced any specific clinical trial plans at this time, though we hope to conduct initial testing in humans soon. We are not currently tracking potential volunteers or creating a distribution list, but please feel free to check back in 6-12 months. We look forward to announcing additional information as we progress. We know how much this means to so many people, and are focused on making it a medical reality. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member giants Posted August 21, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2007 that sounds like a generic but pretty good honest response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member omar77 Posted November 1, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 1, 2007 this is their answer on 1/11/07. In 1-2 years we should be in clinical trials. There will not be a product available for at least 2-3 years after that. If you are worried about the next 5 years, you should probably get at transplant. This will not prevent you from doing something new after that. George Cotsarelis, M.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Badger Posted November 2, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2007 Here we are again i.e. within 5 years.... why is it always 5 years away with every hairloss treatment. Why not 7 years or 4 years. But if he's tellin the truth, it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted November 2, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2007 This is a bit strange don't you think?How original hair is going to grow after a hairtransplant? It says they are regenerating follicles. If that's the case then it shouldn't matter if a HT damages old follicles or leaves a scar in the donor area. In addition it's also possible to get new growth from follicles that still exist in between the transplanted ones. This already happens to some extent with using rogaine and propecia after having a HT. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Regular Member omar77 Posted November 2, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2007 I mean you will be able to remove transplant hair and grow real hair in the particular area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
