    Desmond84 seems to know a lot about Histogen for guy who joined just 4 days before Histogen's PR announcement... :tinfoilhat:

    "dose-range finding"... ok you do realize that you can only inject so much of their stuff with ONE INJECTION. It's not about dosages at this point, it's the number of injections.

    Yes, you're right that US approval is not needed for most us since we can fly anywhere. Millions of US residents fly to India to get major treatments since it's 10x cheaper yet the quality is still first world.
    Would be nice to get Histogen's approval - hey we're done here, come and get it - before 2015...

    Yeah I know that 2020. "Dose-range finding" study is a general term they use in Phase 2 trials just to indicate they are tweaking the dose and frequency of administration. In this unique case, dose actually refers to number of injections.

    No. Histogen showed that using another after pic increased the effectiveness...

    Furthermore, Histogen didn't show/prove "...that extracellular Wnt ligands can promote actual hair follicle neogenesis in adult skin" - as mentioned by Dr. George Cotsarelis and co-workers in this field (page 4, left column).

    And to prove this, is simple:
    Just inject the stuff into a COMPLETELY SLICK BALD SCALP, and after a certain period of time, simply look whether or not thick and coarse terminal hairs grow - in former slick bald scalp-skin.

    That being said, if its available in Singapore by 2015, you can always get a head start by flying over there and getting your treatments until it becomes FDA-approved.

    If you really care about keeping your hair, extra costs should not be an issue :)

    That's right - a lot of people interpreted that as the Asian release date and then went on a troll/misinformation frenzy on the boards.

    Lets be clear that Dr Ziering was referring to the start date in the US, which has never changed, he has said all along it will take longer to release in the US (give or take 2+ years) than in Asia.

    Thanks for the info Desmond, I really hope good things are coming. Even this amount of time seems too long though.
