Actual follicle regeneration, this is huge, please don't forget to take good pics etc. Are hypo pigmentation and follicle regeneration related? I mean did you see both improvement in pigmentation and follicle regeneration occur hand in hand?

Personally I don't care much about pigmentation, if you can regenerate the donor that alone is good enough for me.
