Should I Start Treatment Now or Wait for Follica?
Dr Rassman
I feel I might be facing a dilemma with regards to my slightly receded hairline. I’ve seen my GP and he said it seems to be in the early stages or recession and to start using rogaine (I suppose i’m not yet a norwood 2). However, I’ve read that such things as HM or the acell/follica treatments may be available before I’m middle aged (i’m 25 now).
Would you consider it a good idea to use rogaine or wait and see the test photos from Follica which I understand might be released in September. It seems to me that if the newer “one shot†treatments work out then I’ll have wasted time/money and exposed my body to hormone affecting drugs (something I’m not keen on doing)
Thank you for your time.
The longer you wait to do something about your hair loss, the more hair that is going to be lost. I would highly doubt that Follica will have something available to you this year or any time soon. You should realize that you are playing a game of Russian roulette with each hair follicle. If you’ve already started to recede, then what are you going to wait for? Follica has much promise, but your hair will not wait on the promises.
You can learn more about Follica from an article published in Scientific American over a year ago, Bye-Bye Comb-Overs? Hair Follicles Found Able to Regenerate, or at their simple site, FollicaBio.com.

Yes, of course, we will all thank the anonymous “B” that backs up his claims with zero evidence. Lets all look to “B” for answers that he pulls from marketing materials, press releases, and fantasy land.
