Histogen Update - Spencer Kobren Speaks With Dr. Craig L. Ziering

[Follicle Death Row]

25FU/cm2 of new hair is a damn good starting point. Consider a native density of 90FU/cm2. Let's say your hair has thinned all over to 30FU/cm2. If HSC fortifies the remaining 30FU/cm2 and gives you 25FU/cm2 of hair back then you're looking at 55FU/cm2. That would be a pretty dramatic change.

Even a bad scalp, norwood 6 could shoot for a decent head of hair (average 50FU/cm2 all over) with HSC and 6000 FUE. No need for a horrible smiley on the back of your head.

If the treatment ends up being more effective than 25FU/cm2 and even compounds then happy days. There is cause for optimism here guys.

As I've said before, I really like what Histogen is doing and so do so many other people who so desperately want to regrow their hair but don't want permanent head scarring. I believe some one on here earlier said that in some countries they may be able to market HSC Complex after Phase II since many of these countries don't have an organization like the FDA hounding them. That would be an awesome idea!! Many of us would absolutely jump at the chance to get the results that HSC Complex is achieving right now. Also, with people paying to get the treatment before it completes Phase III, Histogen would have more money for more expansive clinical trials and to test different doses of WNT's and embryonic material that will ultimately comprise the final version of HSC Complex. It would be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Which do you think will dominate the market: Histogen's HSC or Aderans' Ji Gami? They both seem to be shooting for 2014.

Like Blu Ray vs. HD.

Histogen would rule Aderans.

[Curlybill99]

I also believe histogen will be better then aderans. But i would definitly get both if aderans would add more hair to what histogens could do.

LMAO this is stupid as f***, just last year it was the end of 2012. I mean is this ever gonna happen?

[Samiam]

And by this I mean any REAL cure or treatment

[RichardDawkins]

None, they will be simply overshadowed by a new transplant standard then sorry.

Also i can see the disclaimer there "Results may vary" which means "We dont care if you pay a few 1000 bucks and got no hair"

[CAlex]

LOL at a new transplant standard.

Surgically implanting hairs will NEVER be able to match anything close to normal densities or the normal growth patterns. Transplanted hairs look horrible and do not look or feel natural.

Obviously Histogen wouldn't have a grow 57 hairs per cm/2 sign or your money back but im sure if you got very low results you would be compensated either through more injections or some money back. If not word would spread and it would go from a legitimate treatment to snake-oil salesman scam fairly quickly.

...........

You're just blinded by your own desperation as evidenced by your notion that hair is worth more to you can a university education. I'm not saying there's not a lot of guys out there with your mindset, just saying there are not enough. Especially in the current economic climate. I believe the current HSC trial being conducted landed on 15 million for phase A and B and phase III is bound to last longer and be far more extensive. If they can't guarantee cosmetically significant results then it'll most likely not be worth it.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in Histogen. I believe if they can replicate the results from the pre-clinical trials then by the time they reach the market they will have increased efficacy exponentially.
