    I think Histogen just provides wnt signalling to create new hair. I don't think new cells are created, that's another company.

    Well I meant new hair. Hair consists of cells :P

    Sorry, I meant I think it re-activates the follicles you had from stem cells, it doesn't create brand new ones.

    Ah I see. Well who knows. I think it might be making a completely new follicle from nothing perhaps. Since a dead follicle is probably.....gone.

    We will see.

    I thought Histogen re-activated the dead follicle, effectively creating 'new hair' from the stem cell.

    The only concern about the treatment I do have is the possibility that it could be too good. I mean, I want my hair back, but I'm not sure I want a juvenile hair line!

    I'm not sure that I do. For me, hair is mostly about conformity. I think hair loss has been hell on earth for me because I'm only in my 20s; I'm sure it wouldn't have bothered me at all if I'd lost hair at the same age my grandparents did, in their 50s.

    In terms of hair lines, I've always thought Ronald Reagan's Norwood I hairline made him look like a retard. At my age, I want a mature hair line, not a juvenile one. Although I must admit I'd take a juvenile hair line over baldness!
