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

[jpm]

I do get concerned when percentages are quoted, a 100% increase in an area with one terminal hair is just, well, one hair. The percentage increase could really be an infinite number depending on the baseline. Ultimately the results need to be cosmetically significant to the individual being treated to make any product a commercial success.

If you only have one terminal hair, then that's ok because Histogen 'will' thicken up your vellous and non-terminal hairs.

My understanding is that, at 3 months 22% increase in terminal hair count. So if you have 100 vellous hairs and 1 terminal hair on your hair then you still have 101 hairs. Add 22% to this and you get 24 Terminal Hairs and 125 hairs in total. Also Histogen reports that it increases hair thickness by about 23% (at month 3). So you will have 125 hairs (24 terminal) that have increased in thickness by 23%!! - Not bad for someone at 3 months who started off with only one ''hair''. Results will surely improve at 6 and 12 months.

If this is actually what histogen can do, then it is a very very good treatment!!
