Consult w/ Dr Gho on Weds (Oct 12th), what do you want me to ask?

[Ronin]

No problem NeedHairASAP, he said I could email him any time, and he has been REALLY quick at replying to my emails, so if theres anything else you want me to ask, let me know and I'll send him an email.

I have few questions to ask him anyway...

1) If I sign up for this and I have a change of heart, do I lose all the money, or do I just have to give a certain amount of notice.

2) He commented on me having female pattern baldness, is this better or worse than male pattern baldness.

Could you also ask him, as a matter of curiosity, whether there are many other HT surgeons who are interested in learning his technique? I mean we know that he is teaching it for 50K euros, and we know that they already give a discounted rate to those patients who are willing to be the 'guinea pigs' in letting the new doctors perform the Gho technique on them.

I think it would be great if we had an idea about how many other surgeons will be offering this technique in the future. Obviously he might not be willing to give details, but I'm sure he'd make a few informative remarks from which we can draw conclusions

I'd say its worse because you're a guy






...jk
I would assume its better because I've never seen a woman horseshoe-bald







We need to start emailing surgeons and inquiring about HST... or asking for it... or saying we'll get HST from them if they learn it... ANYTHING to speed up the process of having other surgeons offer it.

If only one man made cheeseburgers in the entire world each cheeseburger would be 9 grand.... luckily thats not the case

demand more cheeseburgers, i mean HST clinics

Can't help you with first one, but I could say my opinions about the second one. I mean this is just guesswork, but with female pattern baldness you practically have diffused thinning. I think that is what he meant. Meaning you crown and hairline is intact, but your temples and top of the scalp is shedding.

The end result of female pattern baldness is somewhat higher hairline on the sides of the head towards the scalp. So it is basically reduced NW7 with intact frontal hairline above forehead , however most of males usually go towards NW7. So you having female pattern bladness only means different placement of grafts, nothing else...

@Richard Dawkins
Most of us dislike your immaturity and your somewhat fickle side but trust me if Gho is the real deal (he is goind that way) you can rub it on our noses all you want. For most us having our hair back means living your life and not giving a f*** about insults on a forum .


Please all of you keep us posted on Gho front. Don't have the income to save the money yet, but I hope that will change in the future. In the meantime even knowing that there is something like that out there is a good thing. Saving money is much easier than waiting for a cure...

[Follicle Death Row]

Sounds good. Unfortunately anytime you email the docs about HST they don't respond. It's like FUE all over again. If this really is working then it's simply amazing. I imagine it could give you control over your hairline that perhaps a cell based solution couldn't.

there must be some type of financing... dont most doctors do this?

I dont think it'll happen in a hurry... I mean even if all the existing GOOD hair-transplant surgeons started offering this or researching this...

.... then who wants to be the Guinea pig? If Gho has been doing this for years then he's the best to do it.

Heck there are still a lot of crap FUE surgeons out there. Need we be reminded about that. If we're not careful we'll create a sense of need amongst the docs and they will offer this even if they suck at it. Its just a concern, I'm not saying that WILL happen.

But all of us need to be careful about what we do and consult one another and be wary

Hey there is always some type of loan from the bank, people take big loans for cars, colleges and so on. Although that would be last resort for. It is possible.
However the problem is in my country, which is a colection of corrupt politicans who are staling from the countys funds. Our economy is in ruins.

c5000, first off thanks for doing this. I've only just joined the forum but been reading about all the potential new procedures quite frequently for a long time and hoped someone with the finances etc. would be willing to document their restoration with Gho to finally help prove exactly what the procedure is capable of.

If you can find out, then what I'm most interested in is exactly how Gho would prove that the donor has regenerated to prove his guarantee he gave you of 80-90% or whatever it is?

People before have commented how he uses quite a large donor area to extract diffuse grafts from, which makes it difficult to notice a lot of difference as opposed to if the same amount were taken from a smaller donor area. The less optimistic people here are claiming he simply does it to make it near impossible to disprove whether the donor regrowth actually occurs or not because the supposedly regenerating follicles are so hard to find scattered all over the back of the head.

So exactly how does he track the regeneration?

Much appreciated for offering to do this, thanks again!

this will happen. just like we see sketchy doctors offering FUE today. I would not get HST from any random doctor... I'd go Gho or maybe another top doc if he picks up the technique....

although, I think that Gho is franchising HST as oppose to just leasing the rights? so there may be quality controls in place to keep all the franchises up to par.

he would tattoo, or mark a small square section of the patients head and then count the regeneration.... he has been testing this since late 90s or early 2000s


also, you can see where the hair was extracted quite easily for the first 4-5 days.... so you can look and see hairs sprouting and estimate from there



go the hasci website and look up their scientific publications and it should answer a lot of your questions. There is really a ton of information on his website... publications, videos, etc. etc.

there is a table on the first page answering your "how" question

and pictures that everyone is asking for on page 8

c5000

Did he tell you how often can you have this procedure done, like what is the time needed in between each session?

If I recall from previous readings, it was many months?

[c5000]

Hi All.

Been busy at work again today.

I asked about whether he does a payment plan, i.e. 0% finance, but he said they don't because the banks charge too much interest apparantly.

I asked "do I have to wait 9 months between procedures" and he said "yes 9 months if we take from the same donor area"

I will definately email him and find out how cast iron this guarantee is, and what happens if the stated regeneration doesn't occur.

I have a small scar on the back of my head, around the size of a small pinky nail (probably smaller), maybe I could use this as a reference point? And take the donor hair from a measured area around that point?

I just have to make a decision now once I find out about the donor guarantee and whether there is like a cooling off period incase I chicken out or something.

Regards

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of him using a tattoo or marker as a reference, but I always assumed that this was only done on his research patients for publication results etc. and not for standard patients. So does that mean that every single person who has his procedure done has a mark put on their head then? because if he offers a guarantee of x% donor regrowth he has to have some way of proving that this regrowth has occured, otherwise his guarantee has no way of being disproven and is thus pointless.

That means c5000 will need his head marked then, or like he just said above, he can use that small scar he has as a marker?

So I guess my question probably should've been more specifically how will he monitor the donor regeneration specifically for c5000 and his individual procedure. If he does that method for everyone though then fair enough

As long as you have a way to monitor it c5000 then thats all I was trying to find out, so hopefully you'll be able to finally prove exactly how effective his procedure is. I wish you all the best whether you choose to do it or not though, good luck mate.

Ohhh I see. No, there really is no way to guarantee that... it is relatively easy to see where hair was extracted if it doesn't regenerate so... If it was that bad there is a chance it'd be seen.

I think the mechanical drill they use keeps a count of how many grafts they actually take so... theres a start...
