Washenik interview / Future of hair multiplication

Post by News »

I've found the interview with Ken Washenik I referred to a few weeks ago:

http://www.podcastingnews.com/details/w ... l/view.htm

Not sure if it's good news. Washenik says that he expects the first HM product to come out in 2009, but he also says that this would only be the first generation, and that it would primarily be used to add some density after a conventional hair transplant.
I can't help thinking that the product we've all been waiting for (i.e. one that allows you to grow a full head of hair - even if you're completely bald) is still years, or even decades away.

I def. agree with you about the real cure being a long, long time away.

Oh well, a bit disappointing, but I half expected as much. I remember reading about Ken Washenik talking about hair multiplication back on 2002, and back then he said it was 3-5 years away. I guess the science of it is harder than everyone initially thought
