Is HASCI for real?

Thanks CVAZBAR and Damiel. Yes your right I'm going to need loads more. I will have 10,000 if Gho lets me. I'm not kidding.

Hey man how is your donor doing? Can you take pics of your donor area?

I think it would be great if you could put pre-op pics and those 17 weeks later. Ofcourse if you have desire the to do so.

Thank you for keeping us in the loop.

Hey Sogeking, my donor is great. I actually put some donor pics up about 1 week after the procedure showing shorter hairs growing through the extraction zones. Did you see that one or I can find it from hairsite and link it here if you want.

My head isn't shaved, so I don't have anything to show now. I did take some pre op pics also on hairsite.

It looks really really good. Congratulations for you, month by month it looks better. Obviously you will need a lot of more grafts but the % of growth in the receipt area is good.
What about your donor area? Do you have regeneration of hairs in donor?
Thanks

Well i have to say that this hair looks really really really normal and i admit at first i was like " Ok this guy is telling us lies"

man you can really create your normal density easily with HST, those hairs look like they were there ever since

Ha, can't believe you thought I was telling lies - lol

The reason I brought this all to the forums, was also for my own selfish reasons. I didn't want to go through it alone not understanding, e.g my hair shedding in the first few weeks etc or what I should expect. It's been useful bouncing my questions with more experienced people in hair loss and transplants.

You know I went to see a surgeon in the UK, Farjo I think his name was. They told me I would need a scalp reduction, which scared the shit out of me. I would surprised by this suggestion, but I was crazy enough to at least think about it and who knows I may have done it. To explain his logic, my donor is on the low side apparently and the density in the transplanted area would be too low without a scalp reduction.

So without this multiplication if you want to call it that, then I have almost no chance. I only read about Gho in August and less than a month after finding out about it I had the procedure, I had nothing to lose! Scalp reduction vs Gho? Not a tough choice.

Anyway I still have a long long way to go!

I haven't checked in on this thread in awhile. Am I right in thinking that gc83uk's results are from the hair stemcell injection method. If that was the method used I suppose you can make a case that multiplying the dermal papillae and injecting them (like Aderans are doing) really is going to grow appreciable hair and is going to be a viable solution. Am I right on this?

yes

however, in aderans last conference they seemed to say they still couldnt multiply the cells, or that the multiplied cells were not growing properly


but in theory, yes

Looking good GC and thanks for all that you do. I was surprised Spencer didn't bring this up in the show last night. After all the attention in these Gho threads lately, I'm surprised that they completely ignored it.

17 weeks

Hi,

Just thought I'd post another update, it's been 17 weeks since I had the transplant, so 4 months by my calculations!

week 17 pic

I'm already really happy with this considering there wasn't a single hair in the transplanted area to begin with. I'm seeing Gho on Tuesday, so looking forward to seeing what he thinks and to discuss when I can have the next procedure.

[25 going on 65]

That guy's donor does look very good.
Does anyone know if Hair Science Institute is able to show results yet from multiple procedures, or if they will be able to in the near future?
My understanding is that this method should allow a limitless number of procedures over time, which is why I expect to eventually see fully restored heads of hair if this approach is legitimate.
Thanks in advance

@jeffro5422; I agree, his donor looks incredibly clean.

[NeedHairASAP]

And it seems that their website is not up to date because i think those grafts are planted very close together and not like hasci always says 20 to 30 Grafts :-)

Its true what they say about Gho, he may be good at HM but his website pretty much sucks

I think his website is pretty good. Compare it to that guy from italy.. uhh... ferdini? or woods, or any number of "reputable" surgeons.

[jeffro5422]

That guy's donor looks really clean. Whether or not it regenerates, its still definitely an improvement in extraction.

[damielmillo]

Who cares about marketing or websites? jeje
the important is the hair procedure and the donor regrowth...
