In Your Opinion, What Unreleased Product Has The Most Potential For Hairloss?

[DJC]

There are a lot of new products on the horizon, with the majority probably being ineffective.

Any that are promising though? I was hyped about replicel but that seems to have been a bust.

 

[inmyhead]

I guess samumed or CB.. They both have shown some results. Could be nice combining them.

Not sure what else is coming fast enough and has decent results.

Weren't the studies done on CB come out as quite bad at the 12 month mark or something? sorry i forget.

I assume it was similar to finasterise at 6 month mark which is revolutionary, then the efficacy dropped below finasteride at 12 month mark

Tsuji's treatment or TissUse or maybe Stemson Therapeutics.

 

[Throwaway94]

Kintor's topical AA maybe? Long term of course the cell based treatments.

 

[Xander94]

its over

 

[TomRiddle]

It's never over. I'll win this war if I have to steal your follicles and transplant them to my scalp.

Lmao

I used to think like this, but honestly hair transplants are so effective now it would be stupid not to pursue

A friend had one done late last year, he was a diffuse thinner in the classic male pattern baldness areas (crown, temples, mid section) and around 7 months later he's nearly a fullhead again. Sure the density isnt quite there but its a huge improvement and it only cost €3200

Its really transofrmed his hair, and realistically it was only the first three months where it looked like sh*t. Now he has the illusion of near full density, and no normal person would say hey this guy is balding/thinning.

Its the only real long term solution we have right now, and for the vast majority of people it produces results. Take a look at JohnnyL's posts in the FUE forum.

What Norwood was he? Hard to believe a diffuse thinner would have enough donor hair to make that much of a cosmetic difference.

I've been wondering if it were possible to get a hair transplant using someone else's hair. Would the body reject someone else's follicles if you were the same race/ethnicity and blood type? What if the person who donated their hair was a family member? How awesome would that be if this were possible. I'm sure there's alot of older guys with a full head of hair that would be interested in selling some of their hair.

Jahoda did it 30 years ago. Hair follicles are immune privileged, meaning they don't get attacked by the immune system except in alopecia areata. That's why JAK inhibitors never stood much chance of working for Androgenetic Alopecia, because it's not immune related like AA.

What is the reason why hair transplant clinics aren't doing this? I'm sure there are alot of guys out there that would be willing to sell some of their hair.

I don't know. Jahoda implanted his DSC cells into his wife's arm, but they removed the follicles after two or three months I think. They didn't let them cycle, so they don't even know if they will grow back after the first cycle ends. Anyways, we will soon be able to clone and implant our own hairs so it doesn't matter. This is better than trying to find someone whose hair matches, and risking rejection if it doesn't work, because it won't work for everyone. I imagine for ethnic guys this would be easier. For instance if you're black it probably wouldn't be hard to find some poor guy in a third-world country with identical hair that would be happy to give it to you for ten grand. There are ethical concerns there, but there are countries where I'm sure it could be done. Whites have a much greater variability in hair color and texture, so finding a match might be difficult.

Good point, not to mention the extra $$ you'd lose paying for someone else's hair only to have your body reject it for whatever reason. How much longer until cloning is available? Haven't been keeping up as I've lost hope.

Who knows. Maybe a couple years, maybe ten years. There are a lot of companies working on it now. Tsuji/RIKEN is getting close, they were supposed to start human trials this year. Tissuse is looking for a cell processing center to run their trials. Either or both of those could be available on a limited basis within a couple years.

What other treatments are promising to grow new hair beyond hair cloning?

 

[Throwaway94]

Jahoda did it more than 20 years ago. Hair follicles are immune privileged, meaning they don't get attacked by the immune system except in alopecia areata. That's why JAK inhibitors never stood much chance of working for Androgenetic Alopecia, because it's not immune related like AA.

Maybe certain follicle cells don't trigger rejection but when follicular units are taken from the donor they will definitely come with extra tissue that will cause rejection. It might be possible if the cells involved in that process can be selectively removed but it adds a huge amount of complexity to the procedure.

If they figure it out I'll hunt down a homeless man with nice soft brown hair ASAP.

I did one also, lets see.,..

 

[Redgate]

The best potential upcoming is probably Tsuji or other hair cloning.

If you're looking for something within this decade then it's Breezula, Samumed, Follica & Almirall (topical finasteride), all three of which are starting/have started/finished phase 3 trials. I am 100% certain that finasteride, CB, SM, Follica/Needling, minoxidil & a hair transplant will cure nearly everyone.
The FDA approved drug cocktail will be extremely potent.

a DVD for self confidence for people with hairloss. That is the most potential.

But autologous treatments with gene therapy will still have the bigger potential than trying to compensate through a steady flow of medicine to precent hairloss

 

[Xander94]

Diffused all over, but not really receding. Your typical diffuse thinner with reduced density on top with temples, crown and mid section suffering the most.

People always say surgeons dont work with diffuse thinners or you get shitty results but i've seen it done enough times to know thats not true. Look at this guy for example, hes got a thread on here documenting his journey and he started off much worse off then my friend.

If hair follice neogenesis is solved by follica, a hair transplant + wounding/min + hair fibers is as close to fullhead as we're gonna get in the next few years.

wheres the before after?

 

[Kambrira159]

There will always be new ways of looking at a given problem.

Yoga, meditation and posture exercises and their effects on stress and DHT is an interesting area of research. Someone on this forum made a groundbreaking revelation that posture has a serious effect on hair loss. Simply put, if the head isn't upright then hairs are more likely to fall out. In all the years of hair loss research this has never been actively considered before.
