Yeah holding out for a cure may be getting as risky/costly an investment as enrolling oneself in a cryogenics program.

Hopefully the technology will be publicly available in 5 to 10 years.
*sigh*
Ah, the irony...

I sent an email to see if I can get in on this. Not sure if they'll accept from out of country though as trials typically take locals I believe.

Price would not be such a problem if it actually worked.

No you are right. To sarcastically put down a price on anything that could bring peace of mind to millions is pointless and I'm glad you've underscored how people's lives (well being) deserve a far greater display of care than that.
This actually isn't a screaming re-invention of anything. Plenty of people are not only testing adipose tissue for hair growth on humans, but also using it as a viable treatment as evidenced below.

I'm really excited about this one, it's by far the most promising new treatment available today.
Hellouser has already shared a couple of photos and they are impressive.
I read somewhere that Svenson clinics are already providing this treatment, is this correct?

It works!
I believe Svenson clinics are charging 10,000€ for a single injection but I'm not sure about this.

I'm no expert but these results seem impressive to me:
The authors (Drs. Perez-Meza, Ziering, Sforza, Ball, Krishna and Daniels) performed a single scalp injection of Kerastem's regenerative cell enriched adipose tissue in 9 healthy hair loss patients, and a total of 6 patients were followed for a period of six months using global photography and macrophotography with the Handyscope and Trichoscale Pro Software used to quantify hair growth. The authors reported a 100% patient response rate to the Kerastem Therapy at 6-months and in patients with early stage hair loss, the percentage increase in hair count/density was a mean difference of 17% (p = 0.02). In males with early grade loss, an average 29% increase (p=0.057) in hair count/hair density with a mean difference of 40 hairs per square centimeter was observed.

The male before/after is pretty underwhelming given the price. You can see results like that from a good finasteride/minoxidil responder. However, might be something for the higher norwoods to look forward to. I personally wouldn't pay 14K for that kind of result, not by a mile. I wouldn't even pay half of it. For 14K better damn well bring pretty close to a full head of hair.
However, this procedure seems to have potential. I think they could eke out better results or at least when the competition brings the price down so that the price/result ratio is much more favorable, it would be worth it to have it done I think.
