Most of what I've heard about follica has been kind of vague info. Does anyone have an edjucated guess how much this will actually do? Could it half hair loss + maybe add some new stuff?
It’s all in the press release, just not spelt out explicitly.
If you read the press release, they claim the following:
“Follica device has shown significant therapeutic advantages in scalp treatment versus commercially available skin disruption technology”
Let’s assume that the other commercially available products are dermapens and rollers. What they are claiming here is that follicas device is better than them, however they haven’t ruled out that the head to head comparison yielding a better result for follica is due to chance. This might be because their sample size was too small, poor research design or maybe the follica results weren’t substantially better. I suspect it’s the latter.
Based on this, I would guess the device would be similar, and maybe slightly better than Needling.
If you look on the needling thread, you’ll see some insane results for some people. Follica will probably be suited for those who aren’t comfortable needling at home due to Infections/lack of knowledge/queasiness and prefer the comfort of a doctors clinic. This probably applies to most consumers including myself.
Meanwhile, they are also working on compounds that will improve on their treatment, which I think will be released at a later stage. I’d be more excited by this..
