I hope it grows hair like a charm, but I do ponder this: When you see a receeding hairline.............the skin in front of it that used to be "scalp" skin bearing hair, sort of *turns into* forehead skin over time. Look at it. Believe it or not, there are vellus hairs all over that receeded forehead skin that used to be your hair. Look really close in a well-lit mirror and you see all those thousands of vellus hairs---that used to be your hairline. Follica is making hair, but will it make hair that is just like the hair in the skin around it? In this case that would be more vellus hair. For example, if you performed dermabrasion and blocked epidermal growth factor on your shoulder................I'd expect the new hair growth on the shoulder to be just like the hair that is there. I wouldn't expect "chest hair" quality follicles. This is my worry with follica. I hope they dont have a trial, get dissapointing results in the bald area and declare it a failure without trying it in the back of the head. If most men could just double their wreath just ONCE, they'd have enough hair for a very very good transplant. Imagine if you could take ALL of your donor hair and move it, you'd have nice hair up front. If a hair transplant (FUE) could take half the wreath (5000 follicular units) and regenerate it, and do it one more time.......that would be about 10,000 follicular units with the same density left in the back. It would be like Gho's procedure but much much more easy to do with small dermabrasion tools---and making "donor" hair back in the back again.

Im hoping FOllica can at LEAST do this. FUE surgeons would be very happy, and we'd all be happy. Its not as "elegant" as going and getting your head abraded and growing Brad Pitt hair or anything, but I dont see why this wouldn't work, especially if one was on cyclosporin for about ten good days--suppressing the immune system. I cant think of anything else that would phuck it up. Probably couldn't wash your head back there for those ten days though.......so what, you could still wash the front. I wonder if the FUE would have to be performed first though,,,,,,,,,,,as too many hairs being present might present a signalling problem, so it might be better to denude the forrest first before.


I want this to work "The One". I mean it when I say this..............if it doesn't it will be several years. Think about it. Phase two at ICX complete in 2009, a year review 2010, phase three 2011-2012, a review and MHRA approval................I cant see it coming out any sooner than 2012, and lets be honest; thats a best-case scenario. Aderans maybe has completed a phase one but we dont know because they dont say anything. I mean this.................hell it may be 2013-2014 with HM. ACELL, the HM in the Indian Clinics with the EHRS president overseeing it, and as a way outside shot Phoenixbio. Nothing else is happening in hair-MAKING. Its this or nothing in the near term.
