Regular Member hairadv Posted September 22, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted September 22, 2009 How does everyone feel about Follica vs. Aderans, Interplex, Histogen, any others ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KeepingWhatIHave Posted September 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2009 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.

Senior Member Pale_Rider Posted June 2, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2010 Some updates from Follica at last. They are getting cash but no scientific updates, quiet job or a failure, you be the judge. http://www.xconomy.com/boston/2010/06/01/follica-the-biotech-with-potential-drug-against-baldness-nabs-7-5m-venture-financing/#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted January 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2011 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.

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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member EpilepticSceptic Posted January 15, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) 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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senior Member Pale_Rider Posted June 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 13, 2011 Found something very interesting about Follica. Type "Follica" in the "Search" field and then click on DE in the lower left corner. You will get some very useful data on what are they currently doing. https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
