Is HASCI for real?

[Kiwi]

He confirmed the donor area looked great and the regrowth has already taken place, which is exactly as I thought. He was really happy with the recipient area too, confirming that it looks great especially with it only being 4 months.

I also touched on the density questions, but it was hard getting him to tell me exactly what I wanted to hear. So in the end I said am I looking to get about 30 grafts per square cm? He confirmed that's the case... He then elaborated that he wants to cover the scarred alopecia area completely first and later on increase the density, instead of going with a bigger density right from the beginning.

I wish I would have asked: after we have covered the scarred area, what is the highest density with perfect donor we can potentially reach. I don't think I will be completely happy with just 50 per cm2.

Did you get any photos of the donor?

I will have the procedur the 15 may in Amsterdam Clinic.
I will discuse with Gho and ask him if i can have more than the 1600 grafts that he recommend to me. I am 25 years old and future NW6 so i will need a lot of grafts, and i want to use a really really short cut. maybe #1 so i will expect more grafts...we will see....
Did he check your donor area? Tell us a little more what he said to you and your impressions.
thanks

Hi Damiel,

Well I didn't see your message before I went to see Gho, so I didn't ask those questions sorry.

I left the follow appointment up a little confused tbh. I asked for my next procedure to be bigger than the previous 700 I had, but he told me that he wants me to do smaller procedures because of the labour intensity of HSI.

I should have queried this much more and asked why HSI is more labour intensive than HST, I would have thought the other way around.

I asked him if I could have 700 on day 1 and a further 700 on day 2, he is going to discuss this with his colleagues and get back to me in a few days to a week with an answer.

I was also really gutted that I can't have the procedure until the 27th of August, unless a cancellation comes in.

Damiel, are you having your procedure in London on 15th May?

[damielmillo]

Yes, i have date for 15 May. I am in another continet so he only see my hair by pictures and say the same to all...that he recommend to me 1400-1600 grafts.
But i will need more... i hope he can do to me at least 2000 grafts. and then i another 9 months 2000 more

[nrj]

Yes i know...maybe is an economical theory and also to save the donor regeneration....but for the people like me that will be NW6 at least, we must to wait at least 3 or 4 years to fill all the pattern by procedures of 1400-1600....is really little grafts for us....
I hope Gho do to me 2000 grafts in May...
Thanks

Hey damielmillo, i think he does up to 2300 grafts per session depending on certain factors, but you should be good to go, just book an appointment ASAP, because he is quite booked up.

Hi gc83uk, how are you? I know that tomorrow you will see Gho.
Pls, if you can, ask him if he is able to do a 2000 grafts procedure?
Becouse a lot of people here need more than 1000 or 1200 grafts and i think if gho is able to do more than 2000 grafts will be great.
And ask him if HASCI will open more clinics around the world?
Very thanks!!

Damian!!

I would be interested in hearing about any type of expansion for HASCI



@damian - I think Gho offers up to 2300, but i feel like he generically suggests 1200-1600 for anybody who contacts him. This has to do with

1. making sure yields are good in donor and recipient

2. he may also coincidentally make more money this way

Its probably already been said but Wesley Sneijder has had his hair done with Dr Gho and his hair looks good to me, he cuts it short anyway. Although it is hard to tell the difference between before and after in pics I have seen especially when his hair wasn't that bad anyway.

For those Americans out there...Wesley Sneijder is a Dutch footballer (oops soccer player) who plays for Inter Milan.

[nrj]

you should probably just chill out. If your density is the same on the sides as the top and your dad has a full head of hair.... you shouldn't be wasting your time on this forum

chill out on minoxidil? i still shed hairs in the shower ..

[NeedHairASAP]

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

no, not limitless. However, Gho can offer more sessions (aka more grafts) than any other surgeon on earth (at this point in time).

Hey Guys, i really need your advice on something !!

I visited Gho yesterday and he said im not even a NW1 yet, and was very opitimistic and said that the density on the side was the same as the top, i had told him i live a very very stressfull life (which i think i do).

Being that the side density was the same as the top and that i have shed from the sides aswell before he suggested it was stress related hair loss. He said i had lots of 2's and 3's coming out the holes and he could see the stress fallen hairs growing back. My hair line is mildly receeding but he saw my dad, who has a full head of hair but much more receeded than mine, and suggested it looks like i might be following his pattern. Although he made sure i understood i wasnt clearly out of the woods just yet and that he wouldnt operate until i lost alot more hair.

The question i have is - i have been on regaine/minoxidil for around 2 weeks and when i put it on i dont get a shed at all, i feel like its improving my hairs in some way, do i stay on it ?!?!? i dont want to stay on it forever especially if my hair loss is only stress related. do the hairs that come out after stress loss become dependant on minoxidil? do i have to keep taking the minoxidil forever?

i emailed gho and asked him and he replied

'You can always use Minoxidil 5%, even when the hairloss is stress related, because there is always a androgenetic part. With all medications agains hairloss, the effect is temporarily. You can use the Minoxidil 5% twice daily, that will be no problem'

now i dont know if i have to take it forever or until my hair is stable again?

please help, thanks !

A scalp reduction

Good grief this would have destroyed your whole head to the extend that Scarring alopecia is a cake walk compared to the after effects.

No no i never said you are a liar but your case and your presentation was something i wanted to see for a very long time while i had to fight with multiple idiots on hair los boards :-)

10.000 Grafts would definitely totally fix you

And yes a scalp reduction would have scared the living shit out of me aswell.

I am thankful that you are a new generation of hair loss sufferer, a generation of people who give those scalp reduction seller a big **** you finger

If its not to much too ask, would you mind after multiple sesions, to shave your head only once to show us your donor and then we will remain silent :-)
