Actually, I think Histogen's treatment would be much, much cheaper than a hair transplant, mainly because it would be a lot quicker to perform, it would be much less labor-intensive, and it could probably be performed by a wider variety of professionals. And since it would be non-invasive, one wouldn't need to worry about things like stitches, scarring, or bumps.
I was never really that high on Gho's method, because even if he did achieve donor regeneration, then it would take many, many hair transplants to achieve a full head of hair. And then if a person is experiencing diffuse thinning, Gho's method would still not address this. Since other than regeneration of donor hair, Gho's method is really just a hair transplant and that would cause a person with diffuse thinning to be very susceptible to shock loss. And then you've also got to worry about donor hair degrading in density and quality after it is plucked a bunch of times. That's why I like hair regrowth methods (like what Histogen is working on) so much better than these hair transplant derivatives.
I also like Histogen's mindset. I found this quote on their website and I couldn't agree with it more. "The hair loss market is both large and underserved, affecting over 40 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone, but with less than 7% of sufferers currently seek treatment due to the limitations of available options. HSC represents a potentially revolutionary new injectable treatment for the millions suffering from hair loss, offering benefits over daily-use, limited efficacy prescription products as well as invasive surgical treatments."
I couldn't agree with that more. Hair loss sufferers have been underserved for far too long, despite the fact that hair restoration is a multi-billion dollar business. Histogen really seems to "get it".
