Comments from Daphne Zohar (Follica) (Hair Multiplication & Research)

Imagine for a second that it's about 2005 and ICX's depressing phase#2 reports weren't out yet.

Imagine if there were a bunch of cases over the years of men accidentally getting injected with their own cloned donor-scalp-area tissue of some sort, and then sprouting patches of thick real hair at the site of the injections . . . I think this would have made us a lot more optimistic about the ICX project being able to work, don't you?

Well, that's basically the situation with Follica's wounding method. There are enough anecdotal cases of wounding-based hair regrowth to believe that at least the THEORY can work. It's just a big question of whether Follica has really found a consistent & marketable way to do it or not.



And all the drugs & procedures that Follica is using (at least under the current patents) are already approved.





All of this still tells us nothing concrete about effectiveness or timeline to market. However, I think the baseline facts of this operation are worthy of at least as much optimism as any HM effort in the past has ever been.



(If some of you naysayers really can't live with the idea that HM might actually happen soon, then maybe it would make you feel better to remind yourselves that the new Follica hairs probably won't have better DHT resistance than the originals did.)
