What exactly is HST 3.0? I've seen it mentioned on another thread but can't find anything else about it. I googled it and tried a link to a thread here on BTT but it looked like maybe the thread had been removed or something.

...Ironman, this ones for you -
HST (Hair StemCell Transplantation aka HST 2.0) or an even more advanced version aka “HST 3.0” is, basically, just based on the good OLD idea…

Abstract
Hair loss affects many people, especially adult males. An effective treatment is hair transplantation which involves harvesting hair grafts from a donor site and relocating them to a bald site. However, this traditional method, equivalent to one-to-one transplantation [aka “from A to B transplants], simply redistributes hair rather than increases the number of existing hairs.
Although hair transplantation is actually the transplantation of hair follicle (HF), it has been confirmed that whole HFs could be reformed from parts of HFs containing different constituents, implying the existence of more efficient and smaller HF regenerating units in a whole HF. Thus we hypothesize that the most efficient follicular regenerating unit (EFRU) and the smallest follicular regenerating unit (SFRU) could be found in whole HFs.
As a result, the one-to-many hair transplantation would be achieved in clinic. One-to-many means to double or triple the number of hairs. In order to test and verify the hypothesis, we design a method called hair follicle micro-dissection (HFM) which aims to help find the regenerating units and increase the number of hair for transplantation. The postulation may provide a more mature and realistic treatment for hair loss if it proved to be practical.
**********************************************
So it’s just all about to double or to triple - or simply to expand the existing/certain number of hair follicles you have in your donor area for hair transplants.
In other words, methods to INCREASE the certain number of follicles you have in your (permanent) donor area for hair transplants – simply because you only have a certain number for transplants!
With conventional hair transplants (from A to B hair transplants), as soon as “your certain number” of hair follicles you can use from your donor area is exhausted for HT's = GAME OVER to increase the number of hairs in (still) bald areas and the bigger the bald area, the more follicles/hairs you need.
Basically, EVERY hair transplant doc out there can try this; that means, they simply extract/remove hair follicle from your donor area in a normal/conventional way (as they always do it with FUT or FUE), but instead of transplantation of the whole intact follicles they extracted/dissected, they try to get (outside the body) more follicles for the bald areas, simply by cutting whole follicles/grafts into 2, 3 or even more parts. But the problem for them is, still, to get these follicle parts to grow in the recipient side …
Concerning HST 3.0 …
… this idea (aka hypothesis) is specific related to Dr. Gho’s current “normal” HST technique; namely, 2 hairs from 1.
So how about 3 hairs from 1 in future?
Whatever happens in future concerning this issue/hypothesis in general, Dr. Gho’s HST technique will always remain THE supreme discipline in the hair transplantion field.
Why?
Because due to the nature of the HST technique, your DONOR AREA will always regenerate in a significant way on one hand (no big loss of hair in your donor area in general), practically no scarring at all on the other hand – contrary to traditional hair transplant techniques like FUT or FUE.
But, nevertheless, all 3 methods (FUT/FUE/HST) allow HT doctors to EXPAND the certain number of hairs you have for your bald areas. So everything it needs to get this to work is just – KNOW-HOW.
What appears TODAY as “impossible” (e.g. HST 3.0) – TOMORROW it could be already “no problem at all” - as with many other things in the past.Comment

I hope you are correct. If they can regenerate the follicles in the donor area , surgery will be the first cure for baldness.
I guess after that it comes down to how close you can put the hairs together.
Lets keep our fingers crossed.

very informative Ironman...has Gho set any timeline yet for when he thinks to achieve this?Comment

Ironman have you heard if Gho has talked about when he may have this available to the public or where he is at in testing this? or is this just theoretical right now?Comment

lmao, anyone who's watching nigams youtube videos of him in some shack ass room can tell this dude is a fraud...I didn't even waste my time looking into his stuff after seeing that...and the way he responds to people on the forum..brutalComment

hahaa no, I can only imagine..I don't understand how people still listen to the guy and still have hope for him. That is typical, vulnerable balding guys trying to get their hopes up for something that isn't coming anytime within the next 5 years and when it does it sure as hell won't be from someone posting shit like this!Comment
