CIT vs. HST?

[damielmillo]

I have email and ask Gho clinic...maybe i am so stupid but i don´t understand the difference btw HSI and HST?
I know htat HSI is for scarring alopecia but what is the difference?
Is the same price?

I started shedding around week 5-6 roughly. Went to the London clinic and the grafts were placed in the middle of my scalp more or less. I think everyone reacts different, I don't think I'm the only person to shed grafts from Gho as they told me this is what I should expect.

What I didn't ask is did you have the HSI or HST? They used the HSI method for me. I think it was suggested this is slightly less invasive than HST which was paramount due to my scarring alopecia.

they also told me to expect shedding, that's right.
HST - when i typed HSI, i meant hair science institute.

what was ur treatment like? how does it work?

[damielmillo]

HSI is hair stem injection and HST is hair stem treatment....both by Hasci.
But i don´t know the differences.
You must to wait 9 months to do another procedure?
Gho told you that you can do all the procedures as you like? i mean, you can do in some years 4 or 5 procedures of 1700 grafts each one?
thanks!!

From what I understand the only difference between HSI and HST is the way the grafts are inserted. With HST I think the holes are made first and then the grafts are placed inside these small holes, HSI, somehow they do it in one move create the hole and also place the graft at the same time, at least that is how I understood it. I should have watched with the mirror when I had the chance!

gc83uk , yes you are right.
Does Gho told you about the limit of procedures? or they told you that you can do all procedures that you want?

To elaborate directly from hasci.com

HAIR STEM CELL INJECTION
The Hair Stem Cell Transplant is the result of continuous research by HSI. One of the next steps will be Hair Stem Cell Injection (HaarStamcel Injectie®), not a new transplant method but a quantum leap forward with HST. This injection method has achieved very satisfactory results in practice. Thanks in part to the quality of the results, this method can be expected to be officially launched in the near future.
THE DIFFERENCE
Up to the removal of the hair stem cells to be transplanted, the technique is the same as HST. The major difference lies in the method of implantation. With HST, the stem cells are "planted" in tiny holes made in the restoration area with a needle. The holes fill with a droplet of blood, which ultimately leads to sealing and healing of the wound. With Hair Stem Cell Injection, the stem cells are injected directly into the skin without prepared holes. This means the following advantages:

I didn't actually ask how many times I could reuse the donor, sorry. I'm pretty sure Gho will never say you can infinitely use your donor, this is probably a dangerous statement to make. I think there could be complications of this of which even Gho doesn't fully understand. I'm fairly sure it will be fine to revisit the same donor at least 3 times.

My only concern on this is that the quality of the hair each time your revisit the donor will never be as good as the 1st time, I am certainly not thinking or worrying about this right now. One step at a time for me.

Might be a silly question, but does Gho's procedure still cost around ten thousand even if one was looking to get a lower number of grafts?

It is really really expensive. I will have 1600 grafts but i want more.
I hope the prices will not rise...
But if the donor is regenerated i think its ok

[clandestine]

Right on! Thanks so much for the info.
