Spencer Kobren Speaks To Dr. Craig Ziering - Histogen’s HSC Update 6/16/12

[Kirby_]

Estimated cost - no numbers although he said that it will be affordable for most people and it will be much more cheaper than future hair cloning treatments.

That's the main reason why Histogen has, regardless of any results, always been my personal pick of the upcoming possible. 'super treatments'. I hope that Replicel and Aderans reach the market in some form one day, but they will be expensive expensive. The HSC injections at least can be mass-produced, and benefit from economies of scale... Much more viable in terms of affordability for the masses.

When it will be available? He mentioned that 2014 in Asia may be too optimistic. Too many factors out of their control. That's all.

Guessed as much for a while now. Oh well.

HSC sounds like a filler for a HT.

It'd be a great filler for diffuse thinners too.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Sure, only problem with diffuse thinners, is that they lose it the fastest.

[TravisB]

Sure, only problem with diffuse thinners, is that they lose it the fastest.

But they often gain very much from treatments.

Can they be anymore vague?! I'm sure it will depend on what NW you are, but does anyone have a ballpark price on what Histogen will cost?

They're vague because this product is around 3 years from full-production. They're still in the testing phase and thus he gave the "it shouldn't be too expensive" because that's all he knows.

If it were my guess, I'm gonna say itll cost anywhere from $100 bucks to $1000 depending on the severity of your hairloss. Definitely won't be hair transplant expensive and probably one of those things that gets cheaper as it's mass produced. Who knows if you have to have multiple injections a year or one every few years but we'll find out eventually.

[alanrudy]

Thanks for your reply rdawg, apologize if I sound frustrated, it was just because I searched through forum/had to read through all the negative posts trying to figure out the cost answer. That price sounds great if true, but I also heard "near hair transplant costs" which is also a little vague so just looking for an accurate ballpark number.

I'm willing to pay a couple grand a year if it means I get to have my hair the way I want it to look. Wouldnt even hesitate on doing so.

[TheDude]

Wow!

If I had this now I would have no hair problems.

Problem is when it finally comes out I might have no hair to save..

Nevertheless compelling interview

[doinmyheadin]

Excellent interview Spencer.
Where do I sign for Dr Ziering's next physician sponsored study.

With the positive results so far, hopefully they push to get this out sooner in Asia. As I have said before it will help with funding for the rest of there trials.
