Heck of a good run... maybe they found the cure and forgot about the site ;)

I've really enjoyed reading about all the ideas about how follica might work. The discussions have died down it seems. On this forum the thread has gone quiet, on another forum it's turned into arguments about expectations and optimism vs. pessimism. I'm really amazed that some people would...

Does minoxidil induce anagen, or just prolong it?

I see this thread has slowed quite a bit. Anyone still experimenting with this? Get any preliminary results? Too soon to tell?

The cure for hair loss is hair.

In any case, what I meant to write is that forum posters here are only interested in a nice head of hair.

Right. Even against the great odds that 1 man won't stumble on the exact process, people on this forum aren't interested in and couldn't legally SELL the solution (probably for many reasons). What's more, Follica's final product would more than likely have swifter, more reliable and more intense...

The patent for the kit is no longer on that link. The title still shows the same "METHODS, KITS, AND COMPOSITIONS FOR GENERATING NEW HAIR FOLLICLES AND GROWING HAIR" but the text is a patent for a multi-user gaming environment.

Someone posted this on another hair loss forum: http://www.expresshealthcaremgmt.com/20 ... et22.shtml It's a group in India. The article says their technique is different from anyone else's.

Someone over on another hair loss forum emailed Follica asking about trials and got this reply: "Thank you for your interest in Follica. 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...

"Currently coming down from dutasteride, now on finasteride. Never tried minoxidil. Doesn't seem worth the trouble or cost." Orin - so it sounds like you were able to rejuvenate follicles with wounding, but without minoxidil?

Orin- Are you on minoxidil or finasteride?
