ok true. but…
you just said
Initial Count: 20/cm^2
New Count: 41/cm^2
Increate: 105%
Total New Hair: 21/cm^2
now you’re talking about % of injections. anyway i do not say you are wrong. but:
as they state in their faq sheet, the treatments are repeatable. so these are some of the possible interpretations and what they would mean.
first interpretation: where % is the percentage of hair produced per injections. assuming what pat said: 21% chance for an injection to produce hair.
Initial Hair: 20
100 injections = 21hairs/cm2
400 injections made in 4 repeated treatments = 84hairs/cm2 - that’s good
result: supposing 3 months between treatments in 1 year you got 84 dht-immune hairs/cm2 + previous 20 = 104h/cm2
second interpretation: where % is the percentage of actual hair regrowth, assuming the initial count was 20 hairs/cm2, and assuming it will always produce the same amount of hair.
Initial Count: 20/cm^2
New Count: 41/cm^2
Total New Hair: 21/cm^2
second treatment:
Initial Count: 41/cm^2
New Count: 62/cm^2
Total New Hair: 21/cm^2
third treatment:
Initial Count: 62/cm^2
New Count: 83/cm^2
Total New Hair: 21/cm^2
fourth treatment:
Initial Count: 83/cm^2
New Count: 104/cm^2
Total New Hair: 21/cm^2
Results: after 1 year you have 104h/cm2, supposing 1 treament every 3 months.
third interpretation: where % is the percentage of actual hair regrowth, assuming the initial count was 20 hairs/cm2, and assuming it will always produce always produce 105% of the initial hairs.
Initial Count: 20/cm^2
New Count: 41/cm^2
Increate: 105%
Total New Hair: 21/cm^2
second treatment
Initial Count: 41/cm^2
New Count: 82/cm^2
Increate: 105%
Total New Hair: 41/cm^2
third treatment:
Initial Count: 82/cm^2
New Count: 164/cm^2
Increate: 105%
Total New Hair: 82/cm^2
after 9 months you could have 162h/cm2. this seems to be too optimistic.
logically, we assumed initial count to be 20h/cm2, if it was 1 or 2… we would be pretty f.ed.
