NEW Dr Gho-Spencer interview*your thoughts?

[Conpecia]

best Gho hairline I've ever seen. Thank God.

What do we know now about HST and its limitations?

1) max density is 50 to 60 FUs/cm2 (can't copy mother nature with HST)

okay, but that max density is about the same with FUT/FUE, right?

Also, how does this density compare with average natural density?

[didi]

Average density is 80 per cm2,

Average density is 80 per cm2,

aha. interesting. so can you explain me ...

... why this doctor just extracted 1-hair and 2-hair grafts (with a 0.95 mm !! punch) from a guy,
who has a young and healthy donor density of 96-104 FU/cm2 ?

Why didn't he extract 3-hair or even 4-hair grafts/FU's "to gain more density in the recipient site" ?

He extracted all in all 1500 FU's:
* 674 single hair FU
* 825 double hair FU

So, what?

And here we have a similar (brand new) case …

… same doctor (I think he is a good and experienced doctor in this field), and he reports:

Occipital donor density of ~ 80-90 FU/cm2
(the occipital density is mostly somewhat higher than on the sides/above the ears!)

Extracted grafts all in all: 3112 FU’s within 2 days

* 735 single hair FU
* 2106 double hair FU
* 271 triple hair FU

What? Just 271 3-hair FU’s from a virgin, young and healthy donor area?

What happens if this guy needs a second or third FUE-Procedure?
Will the doctor be able to extract again 271 triple hair FU’s from the patient?

[534623]

How many doctors post their cases online? Dozens out of perhaps 1000?

That's right. And there're lots of other reasons involved (e.g. in some European countries, doing this is already FORBIDDEN - by law! - and with good reasons) - for example:

Can you find online far more client reports about the VW Golf Mk2 or more about a Porsche Carrera?

What do you think is the reason?

But again, the mentioned reasons are just a few reasons.

Why there isnt more triplets harvested?
Well, logical answer would be that there arent that many 3s to extract

Why didn't he extract "triplets" at all in this case?

I mean, THIS patient is also young and healthy, and has an extraordinarily HIGH donor density. Why no 3-hair grafts at all? And why so many 1-hair grafts, instead of at least more 2-hair grafts for the CROWN area??

He used a 0.95 mm punch - so no problem at all to extract also 3-hair grafts with such a big punch.

Would it be wise to advise every future HST patient to ask Gho to extract as many triples as possible,
im sure everyone have 1500-2000 3s , since he can cherry pick grafts why not.

You are getting better return on your money, Unless you do hairline where you need singles
but for crown and midscalp 3s and 4s are gold.

Does it make sense

Of course, it make sense. BUT ... he he

From the early stages, it looks like a fantastic artistic result, something I wanted to see more of from HASCI:

Before:


1 week after:



That's what's so appealing with HST. You don't lose the option of buzzing your hair

To provide an update on the patient above, Tobban from a Swedish forum:



Although we can't do a hair count to confirm regeneration, the donor looks flawless to me after a month. He could shave his head to the skin and nobody would notice a thing. Pretty remarkable when you compare it to traditional transplants.
