Determining when you'll be a chrome dome and hair mult. ques

[Stabber]

Diffuse thinning. Mostly on right side which is odd. The receding has stopped. Now it's diffused thinning. This started in January (well, noticed it then). But man. How can it can SO agressive in 6 months? And it seems to have gotten worst the past week on the right only!

I'm not freaking out yet and I don't plan to go on treatments. Mainly because you have to be on them forever and the side effects.

1. Any possible way to tell if/when I will be a cue ball

2. I'm holding out for hair multiplication. If I can keep some of my hair (enough that it looks good shaved) for the next 10 years....I will be happy. SO when do you think hair multiplication or hair cloning will be available?

1. Yes, very soon.

2. No, not soon enough.

eh Yeddie? HM will definitely be old news in 10 years. My guess is it'll hit the market in 3 or 4 years time.

As for determining when you'll be 'bald'.. there is just no way. You can chart your loss into a graph, but it will still fluxuate. Not what you wanted to hear? Ok you'll be bald in 1 and a half years.

Let me tell you from experience, if you're hair loss is that aggressive, you won't have any hair in 10 years, or you'll have a giant bald spot and a really bad pattern of male pattern baldness. I suggest at least beginning propecia. I wish I started on a regimen a year ago, but I guess I didn't take it serious at the time and did no research on male pattern baldness. God, I didn't even know propecia existed until a month before I began it. You also shouldn't put all your hopes on Hair Cloning, because who knows if it'll ever work out correctly. And even if it does, at $4 to $5 (hopefully!) a graft, you know how much it'll cost to have a full head of hair again? There's on average 100,000 follicles. Who knows how much hair you'll lose in 10 years time, but I'm guessing it's going to cost $20,000-$30,000 and up to give you a full dense head of hair again. Better start saving now!

Stabber -

First, your naming convention should probably be modified to be "Follicle Cloning". This is the technology that is on the way from several reputable companies. Hair multiplication relates to Dr. Gho and from what we last heard he is not in fact offering any Follicle Cloning technology after all. It may still be in the works, but as we understand it, it is not published work, nor is it currently a recognized research project by anyone in the scientific community. Its a proprietary term that could mean anything.

There are several legitimate reputable research teams that have taken on the real research of hair cloning recently. Bosley Medical has a huge team that is actively researching ways to effectively clone hair. Dr. Christiano and Dr. Jahoda of Columbia Medical in NYC are both part of a team sponsored by the Kirsch foundation to research follicle cloning, and there are others as well.

The scientists here in the US and abroad have all fully acknowledged that the technology of follicle cloning is in its infancy, and as such, they're beginning the only preliminary research recognized by the scientific community. Hopefully, if Gho truly has already researched it and is near to finishing, he will go the route of publishing his work.

Until then, we suggest following the legit research teams that are publishing their work "as they go".

Look here for information on follicle cloning, rather than there:
