CBS Evening News tommorow...balding cure

[nervx]

Lets hope hair cloning comes in 5 years max and lets hope by then they will be able to multiply as many hairs as we need. Also for those of us that still have hair but we are fighting the loss with meds it would be nice if we could have those cells injected over our existing DHT sensitive hairs to replace them with non DHT sensitive hairs. This way we can drop the meds and pain in the *** topicals like Minoxidil,ect.

Do you guys think that would be possible?

It wont replace your dht hairs. You can still drop your meds but you'll have to go back to rethicken your hair as the old dht hairs die out.

will be way tooo expensive for most of us here

Cost will depend on the marketing guys but intercytex says it can be offered for a fraction of the cost of a normal hair transplant.

 

[Private Ryan]

yeah...hope the price will be low compare to hair transplant...

but i think it will take another few years before most countries have access to the treatment...haiz... time to save up...

nothing is stopping my hairloss, this is my best hope...

but who know by then i already use to balding...haha...

 

[Aplunk1]

Your treatments haven't stopped your hairloss?

 

[Private Ryan]

Your treatments haven't stopped your hairloss?

as i started using topical only around 1months, i don't know what will happen after a few more months..

but from wat i see now, the balding process is still ongoing... from the hair i shed, i can see toward the root, it is often lighter in colour and smaller in size... so i guess it is still thinning... nothing seem to help...

although i don't have as much confidence as having more hair, i am slowly getting use to having a buzzed head... of course i can't say the same thing when my hairloss get worst...

anyway, suddenly i tot of my uncle hairloss which might be similar to mine... his hairloss is so bad that it left him with on a tiny thin strip of hair which also look pretty unhealthy... i wonder if hair cloning will work for people with such hairloss...

 

[DaSand]

Honestly, I'd want all my DHT sensitive hair to just fall out when this comes out so I can just do my entire head from scratch as thick as I want it.

P.S. I'm gonna invent a hairline I wasn't even born with

Good idea, I just want my whole top, hairline and temples back. Can this work on the temples too? This way, I want to grow it long. Not hippie-style long, but Edward Carnby Alone in the Dark 4 style long.

Listen carefully guys. for HM to be successful it needs to be cheap and affordable. A few valid points here i wish to make and i hope any rep at intercytrex will be reading this or someone can forward these points to them thru email

1)If it is beyond the reach of most people then Intercytex cwont be able to recoup its investment costs faster.

2)Since male pattern baldness is not life threatening, most people will just forego HM if it is too expensive. then Intercytex still wont be able to recoup its investment costs faster

3) the intended age group HM may reach out to will be the older men if it is too ex, men will just forego it since they may think it is not worthwhile as they have aged. The product should reach out and be affordable to most men

4) The most likely market for HM will be male. Since majority of hair loss targets the male species. Again being male many are able to cope and have been coping with male hair loss. hey just shave it all off and call it quits. Afterall being bald still is sexy to women who desire them

5) Pyschological research says "imperfect looks" is not a factor among the adult age group of people with relation to attraction. A recent study conducted says matured adult females are more likely to prefer less symettrical or compromised looks in a male compared to a younger group.In short they are more tolerant and accepting of impefectness compared to younger females

6) alternative simpler cures or competing companies with other cure strategies are likely to pop out in 2010 and beyond. In order to dominate the market HM needs to be affordable and when ne mentions a cure for baldness, HM should come to mind instead of other alternatives.

Bosely consultants are now giving a 2007-2008 release time frame for HM. The plan is straight to market after trials end. Since HM isn't a drug it can bypass a lot of the regulatory/licensing processes and speed things up.

That's not far away, where did you get this info? Link please? I wonder why they said in 2007-2008.

Something weird is going on here...

why wouldnt HM be able to replace your DHT sensitive hairs? It isnt possible for them to inject new cells over your existing DHT sensitive hair follicles?

HM grows completely new hair, i don't know if it replaces the old ones. They've said it could stimulate hair follicles that have stopped growing to start again but i don't think they've confirmed the hairs being replaced.

Like i said trials can move along faster due to hm not being a drug allowing them to bring it straight to market. Intercytex is doing phase III next year so 2007-2008 is possible but the date is still being double checked. Should have more information in a couple of days.

What is your source for this? It's way more optimistic than anything I have heard in the past. BTW guys, none of this is for sure...it still has to pass trials and everything. Not to be a downer, I have just heard this stuff before and it always seems to be "a couple years away"...

Nervx,

This should not be a concern... For male pattern baldness it is suauly the fron which goes first..just go and do HM for the fron..and wait for the rest of the hair like top and vertex to bald...then go get another HM for those areas..problem solved..

Well i dont like the idea of letting myself go BALD man. I will never let my self go bald and walk around balding. Balding could take YEARS to happen and i wouldn't want to do that. FOr fibrosis to happen it could take a long time. I dont see why they cant inject the cells inside the existing hair follicle? When guys with thinning go for HM to get a touch up and get density isnt cells being injected over hair that already exists? Or do they inject one cell at a time?

HM may be great for the bald, but for those of us maintaing hair or diffuse thinning we would want all the hairs to be non DHT sensitive so we can drop these meds and topicals.

 

[EasyEd]

So let me get this straight...if you're not fully bald, you can't have this procedure done. Let's say it comes out in 3 years and I have had good success maitaining the hair I have now (which is NW2 with slight diffuse thinning), can I not have the procedure done to give me the hair that I want? Do I have to go bald first to then have the procedure done?

 

[stax]

I hope we dont have to go bald first that would suck for a lot of us. Who the hell wants to go bald? And who wants to use pain in the *** topicals and drugs to maintain hair if we got HM? It would be ideal for them to inject those cells on our head to replace out DHT sensitive follicles with non DHT sensitive follicles. This way we will shed those hairs dying off but we wont be bald because our new non DHT sensitive ones will be there for good. Either this or we keep going back every 3 months for injections so we never appear to be bald. Somethings gotta give?

 

[Wezz]

looks like 2008 will be busy year for hairloss treatments.

get your scalpes rdy :freaked: :freaked: :freaked:

 

[Bet24]

2008? well I will have 28..... ummmm 28? ummmm a very good age to have a head full of hair with a perfect hairline...... something like this yeees yeeeeeessssss:

at my 28s with a hairline like that I will score very young girls without a doubt, man!!!! I will be a sex machine :lol: :lol: :lol: (kidding )


2008? a very good year indeed, yep

You don't have to go bald first, i don't see why you would think that. You'll just have to go back to get more injections to rethicken your hair as it thins out. After they take the biopsy they keep your cells on file for this very reason.

yes... problem solved..... if you are a millionaire

It's going to be a lot cheaper than todays hair transplant. The whole procedure only takes about 2-3 hours and can be done with one to two people compared to a hair transplant which takes 12-20+ hours and a team of staff.
