That's also why I've been wondering: how do they make sure the injected cells nicely grow out as natural hair would? I mean, even hair transplant sometimes gets you twisted and unnatural hairs. How do they control the shape and growing direction of the newly formed follicle? How do they control an actual hairline on your scalp?
Swoop, do you know the answer to this?I hope there won't be problems injecting cells into haired areas and the new hairs won't get tangled up with the existing hair and cause infections, inflammation etc.
Do you think they'll be able to inject and regrow hairs on areas which already have hairs, say in the case of diffuse thinners? Their illustration only shows a slick bald area having the treatment done.

I imagine it has something to do with this:
"The transplanted primordium also forms connections with surrounding tissues (arrector pili muscle and nerves) and repeats normal hair cycles.
