There are 2 pages to this link and I wasn't too excited until I clicked on the 2nd page and saw who the researchers are. If it uses devices and drugs already on the market, then it seems like off-label use could begin whenever someone decided to do it.

I hope that it does work. I noticed that Intercytex updated their website again. They gave a re-cap on their products and where things stand as of the end of 2007. When trials are going on, the news is always good until they unexpectedly bomb out.

Louise,

My scalp is also very sensitive to regular minoxidil 5%. I order propylene glycol free minoxidil 5% from Dr. Lee (minoxidil.com). If it wasn't for that formulation, I don't think I could use minoxidil. I heard that rogaine foam also does not contain proplyene glycol, but I haven't tried ...

I'm hopeful, but a little skeptical. Their 6-month update really focused on their facial rejuvenation product. I know they are closer to launching the wrinkle/scar product, so maybe that's why they only really talked about that. Who knows

Tricia

Their most recent press release deals with the preliminary results of 2007. They didn't say much of anything about their hair product, but here it is........

Preliminary data from Phase II trial of ICX-TRC for hair regeneration shows increased hair counts and good safety profile

Thanks OverMachoGrande. I'm going to make that laserbrush. I really am skeptical that laserbrushes work at all and I do not want to spend more than it would cost for me to make one.

FYI, if you bundle up a bunch of blue LEDs, then you've got the at-home acne LED device. I thought about making that ...

The amount of hair that you lose in the shower is not a good indication of hair loss. Some people shed more hair than others. The problem of hair loss has to do with regrowth. If you are not growing back the hair that you lost, then eventually noticeable thinning will take place.

I do not have any direct experience with bonded hair pieces. What I post is based on what I've read in female hair loss forums on these hair club places.

Yeah, I wonder if that's the case. I had all but given up on Neosil and then they came out with their Phase II press release.

I really think it's overpriced for what it is. They use one laser diode and split into a different number of beams. The same laser diode in the lasercomb can be found in a $30 red laser pointer.

Sirna is the company that is exploring applications for the hairless gene. Once upon a time, they said they would work this two ways: permanent hair removal and hair growth. However, they choose to work on the permanent hair removal first.

Thanks News for the update. I figured the hair thing would be regulated in the UK. It is seen as creating new hair follicles.

Thanks for posting the link. It's a good explanation of where Intercytex stands with their cell therapy.

It looks like Aderans and Intercytex will be talking for 5 minutes each, if I'm reading that schedule right.

That's interesting though. I wonder what Aderans will say.

It hasn't slowed me down. When I first noticed that I was losing my hair, it freaked me out for the first several months.

Now, I really don't care so much. I have other things to worry about besides my hair. If my hair loss gets too bad, I'll wear a wig with confidence.

I found this little blurb in a Curis press release. I didn't post the whole press release, because this was the only thing that is related to their hair growth candidate. It sounds like they won't have a candidate to take to trials until sometime in 2007 (if at all).

RyGuy,

If minoxidil causes excess body hair/facial hair, it's minimal. I would imagine that a man wouldn't notice a difference. As a female, I've gotten some extra facial hair and thicker eyebrows but waxing works wonders. People would not say that I have whiskers.
