Is HASCI for real?

@gc83uk
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.

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

[gc83uk]

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!

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

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.

[gc83uk]

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.

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 :-)

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 !

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

[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).

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

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.

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

[damielmillo]

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
