If you're going to buy a laser-comb, don't buy hairmax. It's one laser split up into 6, it's an over-priced plastic thing. It costs them approximately 20 dollars or so to make in raw material and they charge 600 dollars for it. I bought mine for 90 bucks from amazing laserbrush and he was...

There is still the other company, and they might get it out quicker even though they're just starting phase 1. Who knows really. There seems to be conflicting reports; first 2008 and now 2010. Maybe they're just playing it conservatively. Last someone emailed them and posted it on this board, I...

Wait, isn't phase III just a polish of phase II? How can that possibly take 3,5 years? In any case, say it comes out in Japan first; does that benefit anyone outside of Japan? Is it ok to import medical technology that has been cleared in japan but not in the US or Europe? (broadly, I hate...

If they're starting phase II now this month, say it takes 6 months or so.. is it so out of question that phase III could start early 2007 and end after about 6-7 months? With some planning, the whole thing *could* come out late 2007, could it not? Just saying. I have no idea how much time...

I don't really have anything to add other than my sheer enthusiasm, if only at the conceptual form of HM as I'm totally broke right now :) But I hope Bosley understand that the majority of customers are like me - financially broke but willing in spirit :). They need to work with us, not...

I doubt that's needed. Blue Ocean is all the rage right now, and if Bosley's PR/R&D/financial advisor-people haven't talked this over and proposed it then they're idiots. If a lowly College student without a single course taken in economics can sketch out a rough plan as the aformentioned...

as stated, I think you're right. But I've heard conflicting reports from Intercytex claiming that it costs a fraction of hair transplant. Surely for them to say that, and taking in account that they would surely know the lab-costs, I think that's just retarded greed talking. Unless the hairs need...

Private companies never care how you feel. You're nothing to them, a mere blot in the paper-work. What they do care about is income over investment, and that's why I think my idea is way more sound. From what we've heard so far, HM costs a fraction compared to hair transplant. You need to differentiate HM...

Maybe I'm miss-informed, but isn't it a fact that if you're totally slick-bald the hair-sack is completly dead and will never regrow again? Even if there were some extremly minituarized hairs left and they grew out, they can't cover the bald area. If anyone wants to correct me, go ahead...

Something happened with the post I wrote a week ago or so, which rather eloquently, or drawn-out, argued the above poster's comment. In short, I find it tragically ironic that when the subject of conventional male beauty is brought up, *specificially* dealing with what kind of physical...

That's not what I said. I said it might cost the producer 1000 dollars to make and you double that amount for the customer to pay, so a HM costs 2000, or tops 3000 dollars. I honestly don't see why this is so unrealistic. You don't need 10 nurses slaving over a bench cutting your neck-flap...

There are levels of greed that go between practical and retarded. It's stupid to over-charge cause you'll only get people absolutely desperate for the procedure, who base their entire persona on the presence of hair on their head. Good greed is instrumental over-charging, in which the HM...

Has there been any talk about injection method? Cause the way of injection could affect the price. I'm thinking they could load it up in some kind of modified tatoo-gun and just let it dance over your head injecting loads of hair. If it's a fluid, why not? *Much* less fuzz than with a hair transplant. I...

I'm wondering, how can we get an increase in development speed if both these companies are funded and partially owned by Bosley? Wouldn't we need a completly new, second player? This is unlikely at this stage, Bosley has probably cornered most of the market, but I don't see how you get...

I have no idea, but from a business stand-point it would be absolutely foolish not to license it out, unless they're planning to start bosley-facilities world-wide. There's most likely much money to be made through licensing. Allthough with the money you're already spending on a procedure, a...
