They have said it will be much less invasive than a hair transplant and that they can multiply by the thousands. With this logic, they would not need a "chunk" but more of a "punch".
Any treatment that requires a biopsy and wait time on that biopsy is less desireable unless it is literally your only option.
That is not necessarily true at all. If you're smart and keep up with this forum along with his team's updates, and you call at the earliest possible opportunity to book an appointment, there's no reason you can't be one of the first to be treated. If you're dumb and don't sign up quickly..... then sure, you'll probably get the boot to the back of the wait list.
You don't think other people, especially in Japan, will hatch the same plan?
I'm sorry, but anyone who would expect to be toward the front of the line just because they're trying to get at it early is naive, there is a significant element of chance here. Sure you can increase your odds, but you talk like it's a surefire thing — it's not.
I get that Tsuji won't be realistic for many because of the cost.. but it seems as though you're just focusing on the negatives in every aspect and at times looking for reasons for why it's not ideal
I don't have to look for reasons/disadvantages because they are obvious.
Tsuji is a cure, where as Follica is most definitely not. You can't even put them in the same league in terms of effectiveness.
You have no idea that Follica is "definitely not" a cure, especially give that what results amount to a cure are open to a high degree of subjectivity when it comes to hairloss. A cure is anything that relieves you of the symptoms of the disease
even if you have to perpetually use some device or meds. To people with hairloss, certain amounts of the condition are acceptable.
For some, NW2 or a bit of diffuse is just fine and a treatment that would take them back to it or maintain it is acceptable.
Some are more lenient than that; others are more stringent.
If the "hair primordium" technology works out, it could give you theoretically any amount of hair you desire.
With Follica, at least by their own reports and science that confirms the basis of their tech, there is also theoretically no reason why you shouldn't be able achieve normal density. Now, it is likely that the first generation of the tech won't be able to achieve this with just one session, but the only thing that has held the wounding tech "back", if you see it that way, is a lack of research and interest in research surrounding the specifics of wounding and compounds that amplify the effect; either way,
it does grow hair and will no doubt be a solution for many people.
Most people are also not high norwoods and would see little point in paying for something like Tsuji when cheaper alternatives that give them the results or very damn near the results they need. So I stand by my point that Tsuji is not going to have the entire market cornered.
Lastly,
what are you people going to do if Tsuji fails?
Because when it comes to hair cloning, there is literally no one else bringing you that therapy before you're old, bald(er), and your youth is but a distant memory.
