I'm not sure why "Hair Count" and "Terminal Hair" are different.

But here's what might be very interesting.

In the stronger of the two sets of responses you quoted, terminal hair was up almost 80%, and thickness was up just under 59%.

I wonder if that translates into the following:

Say you have only 100 terminal hairs in an area before being treated with Histogen.

Ater Histogen, you'd have 100 + 80 = 180 terminal hairs.

If after treatment the average thickness of the hair is also up 59%, then 59% of 180 = 106.2. So the overall coverage would be equivalent to having 180 +106 = 286 hairs of the original, before treatment thickness.

since before treatment there were only 100 skinny hairs, and after treatment you have the equivalent coverage of 286 skinny hairs, then the cosmetic improvement would be an astonishing 2.86 more coverage, nearly three times the coverage before treatment.

And possibly it may improve further as more time passes and/or on being given further treatments.
