Questo il commento di un doc a seguito di una visita agli uffici follica un paio di mesi fa se non erro
Questo è il commento di un utente che di hairloss2020 che sembra abbastanza informato:
Ok, a lot confusion about follica.
1. Financial report says : “Follica has
completed three human clinical studies of patients with androgenetic alopecia to demonstrate hair
growth and new hair follicle formation following application of its technology. Follica has also performed and funded preclinical work which, together with research from the University of Pennsylvania, serve as 25 the foundational observations on which the technology is based. Follica plans to initiate a registration study in the second half of 2016, with data read-out in 2017. If the data are favourable, Follica would
potentially plan to seek FDA clearance in 2017, with commercial release to follow as soon as 2018.” – 2016 pure tech.
2. Same thing in 2015 presentation indicating 2018 possible start
and 3 human studies done + results pics. http://www.jefferies.com/CMSFiles/Jefferies.com/files/Conferences/111815/Presentations/Pure%20Tech%20Health.pdf
3. 2 supporting publications proving method (obviously there’s unpublished staff as well), with one published in Nature (big shot science journal)
Studies are :
Dhurat, R., Sukesh, M. S., Avhad, G., Dandale, A., Pal, A., & Pund, P. (2013). A Randomized Evaluator Blinded Study of Effect of Microneedling in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot Study. International Journal Of Trichology, 5(1), 6-11. doi:10.4103/0974-7753.114700
to, M., Yang, Z., Andl, T., Cui, C., Kim, N., Millar, S. E., & Cotsarelis, G. (2007). Wnt-dependent de novo hair follicle regeneration in adult mouse skin after wounding. Nature, 447(7142), 316-320. doi:10.1038/nature05766 – theory mainly -The regenerated hair follicles establish a stem cell population, express known molecular markers of follicle differentiation, produce a hair shaft and progress through all stages of the hair follicle cycle.
I guess people care about results: so for those that cannot access this papers and see some pics available: Dhurat paper results from n= 100, using Follica’s approach as a third party. The mean change in hair count at week 12 was significantly greater for the Microneedling group compared to the Minoxidil group (91.4+-49 (n=50) vs. 22.2 +-19 (n=44) respectively, P = 0.039). Mean hair count for dermaroller group at 12 weeks increased from 226 to 317, minoxidil group 201 -218. after 8 monthsof completion of the study, at the time of writing the manuscript, all patients in the Microneedling group
reported a sustainable response
So does it work? Hell ya, at least statistically. Unpublished data probably contains way more staff, I do not expect follica to release them anytime soon. Those interested further read Cotsarelis’s new papers
Riporto solo, la mia idea resta la stessa, peró questo utente sembra uno che ,piuttosto che speculare (come facciamo molti di noi), si attiene al contenuto dei documenti che ha letto. Non sono andato a verificare che il contenuto si effettivamente quello. Mi auguro di si xD
