Kurt Stenn and George Costarialis are no fools guys................... (Hair Multiplication & Research)

benji,

I agree with you, for the most part. But I still strongly think that follicular neogenesis, if done like Follica plans, will NOT produce hair follicles sensitive to DHT. The entire point to the wounding/LiCl/DMSO is to create new skin and follicles through our own adult stem cells, which go to the wound and then differentiate into various cells, including hair follicles. These new hairs are created under non-congential genetic conditions. This is what the May 2007 Cotsarelis et al. article showed -- i.e., that WNT activation (aided by wounding) fosters de novo hair growth that bypasses the original genetic programming. So I'd still be taking dutasteride or finasteride while undergoing a WNT activation procedure (just in case), but the evidence seems to show that this wouldn't be necessary.

Anecdotally, a 47 year-old man named "hatchet" at regrowth.com reports using the wounding/LiCi/DMSO procedure and having new hair follicles grow for the first time in his life (he's been balding since 19). Several others report some growth, but most of thee posters are just starting out on this procedure. So we will have to wait and see what happens...

BTW, I liked the idea of using DMSO/LiCi with FUE to induce follicular growth. But why the "managed" healing? I don't think that would be necessary.

Best,
BB
