Does this story say Histogen\'s skin cream is also their hair treatment?

Doesn’t this article say that Histogen’s Regenica skin cream is also basically the same things as their hair loss treatment? It looks to me like Histogen’s Reginica skin cream and their HSC (Hair Stimulating Complex) are very similar, although there may be some ingredient differences.

In their press releases Histogen says that their skin cream contains Wnts and proteins and growth factors, and that is also what is inside of their Hair Stimulating Complex although their hair loss treatment is a larger dose and their hair loss treatment involves repeat injections instead of topical applications.

Notice that in the article above Histogen calls their hair treatment “Regenica” and they also call their skin care line Regenica. Look at this ad for the skin treatment and remember that Histogen also called their hair treatment “Regenica” in the early days:

It looks to me like the skin treatment and the hair treatment are very similar and their Regenica skin care has been in the marketplace for sometime already.

Im curious to know if the testing of their facial products led to the idea of using growth factors to induce hair growth. Also, I purchased the facial rejuvenation cream you speak of and applied it to my left temple for a short period of time (one month), experienced no growth however.

Different doses and different method of administration could explain why it didn’t grow hair on you. The skin treatment may have lower doses of growth factors and proteins than the hair treatment plus the skin treatment is applied topically rather than injected right into the skin like the hair treatment is.

IIRC… Histogen’s patent is for the process of deriving the growth factor cocktail. I think that they use the same process to derive the skin product and hair stimulating complex.

Yea but they can put different amounts of these growth factors in the skin cream than they put in the hair growth treatment. Also, the base is surely different since one is a cream. Also, the vehicle is also different since one is for topical application and the other is injected.

Obviously.

I don’t think they’re putting different amounts of growth factors anywhere. They’re using fibroblasts in a hypoxic environment to produce these growth factors, and then using the resulting soup to do different things.

How effective are these growth factors in their facial products. One would assume that they lose their potency over time. Im asking because its been sitting in my medicine cabinet for over a year without use.
