    does gc have any pictures uploaded like this of his donor region before the 1st procedure or after the first one so we can compare the two?

      shouldn't we wait the nine months to count GC donor zone?

      If FUE masters told him they could only propose 2500 and Gho already gave him 3000 with open door for further procedures, it means that they are confident in their efficiency.

      Pity we don't have a shaved head donor from his virgin to be compared with a shaved head donor 9 months after his 3000 grafts.

      Hope there will be more new patients to bring their cases.

        Generally, I think the donor regrowth you get after 2 weeks or so is close to the final rate. For example, from gc's 2nd procedure, you can see that there is not a big difference between the Day 15 photo and Month 9 photo:

          which procedure is it? the first? the second? the third?

          I know GC did 2 with a six months rest instead of nine, doesn't this influence an eventual lower regrowth in donor?

          My impression is that 9 months is safety zone but one year is even better...

            That was from gc's 2nd procedure.

            Possibly but I honestly don't know how much of an affect waiting 6 months vs. 9 months vs. 1 year would make in practice. What I did find interesting though, was that the regeneration rate for gc's 3rd procedure was roughly the same, if not a little higher, than his 2nd procedure.

              He uploaded LOTS of pictures of all his (so far) 3 HST procedures. So if you want to find them, everything you have to do is just to check out

              3,545 posts in 91 threads in this baldtruthtalk Gho section …
              … and finally…
              4,747 posts in 210 threads at HS’s Gho section.

              Once you’ve found all pictures, could you please put all the photos/links/photo-reports etc in a chronological order and post them here?

              All pictures of his 3 HST procedures chronological separate, of course, as well as a little documentation to all photos you found of all 3 separate HST procedures would be nice.

              Thanks in advance.

                Would be awesome if we had a clear shot of his entire donor area completely shaved before his 1st procedure, after his 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

                One can only dream....

                  Aren't you the guy who says he is a "photo-expert" or something?

                  Could you please demonstrate this with your own donor area (shaved or unshaved - it doesn't matter) where we can see your ENTIRE donor area in 1 photo?

                  I guess one can only dream...

                    Of course from gc's procedures or any other HST patent - and not yours.

                    So when will we see a documentation of your own HSTprocedure so that we can see whether or not there are any differences concerning the re-growth rate, whether or not "Gho is splitting follicles" or whether or not there are "just single hairs in the recipient" etc etc.?

                    You mean in another 5 years or so until you find out how well or not HST works for others - while others like gc, me or many others solve their hair problems with HST during this time? lol

                      "Solve" is an exaggeration, is it not?

                        Yes, I am your superior photo expert. I also seem to be superior in regards to semantics. I'll repeat and explain myself to you though;

                        It'd be nice if we saw his 'entire' donor area before his 1st procedure... as in, a photo like this: back of head link (of course, without my grid or graft counts).

                        That wasnt so hard to comprehend Ironman, was it?

                          I'm not in a rush to get on the hair transplant treadmill. I understand some people are more impulsive and ended up with giant scars on the back of their head in the past.

                          I wish you all the best though. Maybe you'll have a nice head of hair when you're in your 60s.

                            Would it make sense?

                            gc’s 1st and 2nd HST – they didn’t shave his whole head, because it wasn’t necessary for just 700 grafts per procedure (700 per 1st and 2nd HST procedure).

                            As you can see (of course the full size photos of the pics above are still hosted as well) they just partially shaved gc’s donor area – just around 1 inch wide in a curved manner from almost ear to ear - similar to strip HT docs, as they do it before they amputate a big part of a patients head for some hairs in the patient’s bald recipient area.

                            So due to the very small and always the same strip-like area (look at the pics above!) they used for harvesting HST grafts – you can practically almost IGNORE this very small strip-like area concerning gc’s bigger 3rd HST procedure with 1600 grafts and completely shaved head/donor area – right?

                            In other words, this photo …


                            …shows gc’s shaved “virgin” donor area BEFORE having his 3rd HST procedure.

                            That means, this photo shows gc’s donor area situation simply “as is” before having HST extractions – aka “virgin” – so actually irrelevant whether or not the patient already had any extractions in this area, because the situation in this photo is simply “as is” BEFORE. And as for most areas, the photo shows partially indeed completey "virgin" areas, because these areas were untouched in the 1st and 2nd HST procedure - see the 1st pic above.

                            Furthermore, this photo (link above) shows around a THIRD (estimated) of his “entire” donor area. So whatever you analyze in this big area with AFTER photos – you can conclude that you will practically get the same result, conclusion or whatever in the remaining area(s) – right?

                            So feel free to conclude …


                            24 days after HST extractions in this area (1st link/photo above).

                            Open both photos (before/after) next to each other in your browser and try conclude.

                              You could have just said 'he never shaved his head prior to his first procedure'.

                                Can I consider this as "Thank you very much for taking your time and explaining me idiot everything in detail"?
