Histogen?s HSC Complex - An In Depth Discussion

[TanCas]

Right, this idea of stimulating the growth of hair where previously there was none, is what confuses me to how the process would be controlled — its effects strictly contained to where they are desired, prevented from affected areas in which one wants no growth.

Also, I'm concerned new hairs might push around existed ones such the overall appearance is cosmetically unpleasant.

Even if Histogen's product works, I think at least these two points must be addressed if one is to be hopeful of its practical utility.

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 want a crazy awesome hairline.

But I doubt thats happening lol
