yes this was noted in the first couple of weeks and pictures were posted online.

Thats great for the donor regenaration. I think you receipt area is better than 1 month ago...but you must to wait at least 4 or 6 month to see full benefits. What did you say GHO about receipt area? They say that there will be 95-100 % Growth!! and how many time do you must to wait to see full benefits?
Thanks for the picture!Comment

thanks GC. The recipient looks way way better. How many do you think have grown in? I see a few others starting to sprout too.Comment

Thanks NeedHairASAP and Damiel.
I honestly don't know how many have grown in, there is so many that it's hard to count now, a few weeks ago I think there was only about 100, maybe about 400 atm. I could do with taking a better picture, because I've accidentally cut off some more on the left which shows more growth, so I'll take a new pic and try and do a count up!
I've got a follow up with Gho in a couple of weeks, so that should be interesting plus arranging the 2nd session hopefully.
Damiel, I didn't ask Gho how many would grow in the recipient, but I would expect at least 90%, I don't see why it can't be 99%.Comment

Its so funny when guys like SPanishDude and certain individuals from here started to mock gcuk and said "Your hair looks like shit" even knowing it was just a few days/weeks after the transplant.
What i hate more then baldness? People who are balding who are ignorant assholes

Hi Dawkins,
What do you think of the latest pic? I have to say I'm quite happy already seeing as that it was complete bald before in this area and its only been about 14 weeks.
Jeffo, have a read of this and have a look at the pics, there are about 3 of the donor area which i took a few days apart, it was the best I could do at the time.
Make sure you comment back on it!Comment

For 14 weeks prett solid (i wont use euohemistic words because people will jump all over me for this) for only 700 sparsely planted grafts, they look very natural, so with more grafts you will bcome avry natural density, end of story, begin to save your money instead.
Also i like tis little curly hair where you can see that the under root looks very strong again, another proof *sigh* for the millionth time
Also i like some of those longer hairs whih have a very weak upper part, but a stronger under part.
In other words your case is a boring case of donor regeneration and of Ghs claims :-)
Sorry for saying boring but hey your case is just what it is, a definitely proof of concept ^^
Btw let me guess, you are a litle bit annoyed right now beause you didnt opt for more grafts right :-)Comment

I'd say the surgery was very successful. now,
we've seen regrowth from a third party's photos
we've seen the recipient grow out- and even on GC's scarred skin (right GC? if I remember correctly, you itched your hair out, due to the rare type of alopecia you have, and although it doesnt look scarred, we can assume that if the treatment goes smoothly in your case, it could go smoothly in less "scarred" patients...)
I'd say there is only one thing left to do...
get other doctors to offer it so we can get the price down.
In the next 3 years, I'd love to get the cost of nw7-nw2 down to about $20-50k... as of now it looks like the cost could be $50-70k depending on your luck. Hasci says people only need 3 procedures, but I know I'd need more like seven or eight 1,800 graft sessions over my lifetime to keep/gain what I'd like to keep/gainComment

Man to bad, i was ready to see some bash and insult action here and what did i get instead?
Honest and very rational statements come on guys dont be so rational, hair multiplication is still ahem 30 years away ^^
And yes Neddhairasap, scarring alopecia is consideres severe. So actualy its not a joke that HSI was used on this scalp, it simply prooves what a lot of people prayed all the time
"This is hair multiplication available today"
And sorry to crush in again, do you really think that any surgeon would offer HST or HSI? The only docs right now who at least investigate in that direction, are Cole, Cooley, Hitzig and thats it.
Armani on the other hand for example is still planting 5000 Grafts on 5 square cm bald skin on a NW 1,000001 patient, put make up on his face and let him star in a commercial video which resembles those videos from the Umbrella Corporation ( a fictional organisation in the Resident Evil / Biohazard universe)Comment

gc83uk thanks for the link. That was very interesting to read from the beginning of your procedure. It looks like thing's are going good for you!
After about 3 months, Gho's clinic finally responded to my email and consultation request. However, I'm a little confused about their response.
Let me review my situation quickly for everyone. I'm 29 and had a 1300 FUE in the front third of my scalp about 4 years ago. I've continued to thin behind my transplant (as I expected) and was hoping that Gho would be willing to work on my midscalp and crown due to his ability to regenerate donor hair. Other docs are reluctant to do this because of my age. I'm not slick bald, but I'm heading that way and it seemed like his procedure would be perfect to attack my hair loss little by little over time. I expressed those ideas in my email to his clinic and here is their response. I'll quote sections from their email:
"Our goal of a hair transplantation is not to achieve a “dense as possible” result, but a “natural as possible” result. We therefore don’t look only at the present state, but also at the consequences in the future.
Due to the re-growth of hair in the donor area of at least 70 to 80% and the fact that there are no residual scars, the donor area (following recovery) can be used again.
The number of grafts we can and/or will obtain depends on the quality of the skin and follicles, the size of the donor- as well as the recipient area and also your wishes.
In your case, we are able to place a lot of grafts in the recipient area. We can extract 1200-1400 grafts. With these grafts, we could do the frontal part, and therefore also your appearance."
Almost all of that makes sense. Natural result as opposed to densest result: cool. Donor regrowth of 70-80%: cool. Number of grafts depends on the person: cool. 1200-1400 for me: cool. But then they say that they will work on the front, when I specifically asked to work just behind the front and my previous transplant. That's what I don't understand. I sent them another email asking if I address the front with an initial procedure, could I then return once the donor has regenerated and work in the midscalp and crown. I haven't heard back yet.
What do you guys think about this?Comment

Here are a couple of pics to illustrate my point. As you can see, it looks ok from the front. Sure, it would be great if it was thicker there too, but I would rather bring my midscalp and crown up to a level consistent with the front before I worry about going for more density there.

If I had a shit load of money, I would probably go with Gho. Not necessarily because I'm convinced on the donor regeneration but because of the limited scarring. That way, if it failed, I would probably still be able to buzz it off.Comment

Hi jeffro5422, i think that with 1800 in your midscalp you will be ok, and then 9 month later you can do another procedure of 1800 grafts and have a good densityComment

come on man, we've seen the pictures of regeneration in Gho's PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE (that still has not be revoked- they do this)
We have also UNDOUBTABLY seen regrowth in GC's photos
so how can you say you're not convinced? Will you not be convinced until the FDA publishes a study?
I know CVAZBAR that you are a big histogen/follica guy, but come on bro... Gho has put more up then histogens shitty photos and follicas pixar movies... get real
personally, I want just something like this here
I'd take more, but if I can pull that off, I'll be happy enoughComment
