    RepliCel's potential hair loss treatment may cost around $1000 and aims to protect hair follicles from DHT, possibly reversing some miniaturization. It is not considered a cure and may be most effective in early hair loss stages, with its main advantage over finasteride being the lack of sexual side effects.
