Footballer Wesley Sneijder had hair multiplication with Dr. Gho

[RichardDawkins]

And your point is?

[ukman]

Sneijder?

Well if were name dropping on wesley sneijder i had the same surgeon who done wayne rooneys hair op lol

[uninformed]

Does anyone know if the HSI procedure is actually the same as Aderans i.e. culturing and multiplying cells for re-injection???????

hey UK i found these information on their site

THE DIFFERENCE
Up to the removal of the hair stem cells to be transplanted, the technique is the same as HST. The major difference lies in the method of implantation. With HST, the stem cells are "planted" in tiny holes made in the restoration area with a needle. The holes fill with a droplet of blood, which ultimately leads to sealing and healing of the wound. With Hair Stem Cell Injection, the stem cells are injected directly into the skin without prepared holes. This means the following advantages:
Higher density: now the hair stem cells can be implanted even more closely together. With HST, the implantation spacing is 0.2-0.3 mm, while with injection the spacing is 0.1 mm.
Faster healing: with HST, healing was already fast (1 to 2 days); with the injection method, there is essentially no recovery time in the restoration area because there are no wounds.
Even greater precision: Thanks to the refinement of the injection method, the precision of the method is unsurpassed.
Ideal for burn wounds: scar tissue from burn wounds has poor blood circulation. But the injection method does not require blood for healing, simply because there are essentially no wounds to require healing.

Seems like they still have to "extract" the follicle in donor area but they inject the instead of punching holes to create space for new follicles. Don't think they are culturing the cells but rather just taking them out and planting them at the front whilst the donor area is supposed to heal.

Why so little in one session? How come they don't have megasessions? And is no one here concerned that there are just some nurses there that put the grafts in but not the surgeon himself?

I can't answer the first two questions but the nurses or techs placing the grafts is standard practice. The surgeon makes the slits in the recipient.

So they are turning down NW6 and NW7 guys? Why oh why? I know their maximum is 2300 grafts per treatment. But still...

Can anyone get his hands on this and brief us?

In the abstract there is no mention about injections.

This is a journal published by Elsevier, so it's credible stuff.

Its just his HST procedure with a few pics.

what means exactly Q1 2012 ?

thx

fiscal quarter 1 of the year 2012

[elvispresley]

I have to say I have a generally favorable impression of replicel so far. I will need to see the results of their clinical trials before I get extremely excited but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that their first trial is a success. I can't wait for Q1 2012...

Background

Extracted partial longitudinal follicular units can be used as complete follicular units to regenerate completely differentiated hair growth. The partial follicular units that remained in the dermis in the donor area can survive and produce hairs. This technique enables us to multiply hair follicles in vivo, while preserving the donor area and therefore is suitable in persons, who have a relative small donor area compared to the recipient area, as in scalp burns.

Results

After evaluation of the donor area, sometimes a few little white spots were visible, but almost all hair follicles in the donor site re-produce hairs after 2 years. All treated patients had satisfactory or very satisfactory cosmetic results in the treated area.
Conclusions

Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation (LP-FUT) may represent the first reliable patient-friendly method to generate two hair follicles from one hair follicle with consistent results and preservation of the donor area. Therefore, this method is very suitable for people with facial and/or scalp burns.

This is a journal published by Elsevier, so it's credible stuff.

But one thing is for sure, every NW7 can be totally fixed in around 5 to 6 years or so, sorry i menat sessions (given they are 3000 or so)

I'm not sure this is correct because Gho is turning patients down with nw7 characteristics.. i reposted somebody from hairsite who had this issue.. its troubling




the reason for not offering the injection may be that they're still studying it slightly and burn victims are in a slightly more desperate situation than us and may make good test subjects... maybe... gho seemed to do the same thing with HST


I dont think they are culturing and multiplying cells like some of the other companies are doing... If somebody could send an email to confirm that'd be awesome....

what I think they are doing is a normal HST extraction of say 1500 follicular units...everything identical to an HST procedure at this point.... except when they would normally HST into the recipient area they instead inject with a even finer needle the stem cells.... I think they strip the 1500 folilcul ar units to fill this needle with the stem cells from each follicluar units... there is no multiplication or creation of new stem cells HOWEVER depending on how they reallocate ( or redistribute) the stem cells when injecting them back into the donor, you could end up with more hairs than the original 1500 FU that were extracted...... AGAIN this is just a guess... you may not be able to end up with more hairs than were extracted... it could just be a less invasive procedure for the recipient area than HST is...
this is how I read the information on the site.. they could be culturing and multiplying for all I know but the info given on their site doesnt seem to indicate this


if you go to their site.. go to treatments than you can see the injection tab in the navigation bar that appears

I doubt they are culturing and multiplying the cells - probably just a smaller needle.
