Another Gho question.

[JJJJrS]

I've been in contact with them and am having a procedure Q3 this year. They have confirmed that I will have approx 3000 grafts (Which was my request) but I haven't found out whether that is over 1 or 2 days yet.

How did you manage to convince them to do that?

I think 3k grafts is the most they've ever done in a single session so you're getting close to breaking the record. I noticed that they increased the maximum number of grafts per session on their website also to 3k. I really hope this is a sign that they're becoming more comfortable with larger sessions.

AWESOME!

Please keep us posted! Youre going to effectively come down TWO norwood levels, this is great!

wow, that will be a first. I take it you've sent over photos or had a consultation?

How much are they charging for 3000 grafts? This surely has to be over 2 days, unless your going to start at 6am and finish at 8pm

[Jasari]

Hasci have also increased their maximum number of grafts per day from 2520 to 3000 on their website.

That has to be good news, however we're still to hear about a single person having more than 1800 done.

The only plausible, but unfortunately slightly vague answer I have from you is:

"- Does this area, which is unique ("fishy") to other areas, still have an influence on transplanted grafts - besides the negative influence in general of fibrous tissue (as a result of scarring alopecia) in the receptor area?

So far, besides a somewhat lower density of transplanted grafts in this "fishy area", the hair structure is practically exactly the same as in gc's natural/unaffected front area - and that's the point of my "donor area" pic."

Also...

"So wherefrom are the many single-hair grafts you could see in the petri dish?
lol, this is actually easy to explain ..."

Is your explanation of these 1 hair grafts in the dish that basically I didn't see 1 hair grafts and I imagined it?

[gc83uk]

They didn't extract single-hair grafts from your donor area.

Ha, I must have edited my post 3 times just then, so I'll take that question back.

OK well the 1 hair grafts which I have in my recipient area, is that simply down to my scarring alopecia 'in your opinion'? Or might these 1 hair grafts develop into 2 hair grafts over time as they mature?

I'm assuming you don't have any 1 hair grafts growing and I'm on my own with this then?

[534623]

What are you trying to say?

They didn't extract single-hair grafts from your donor area.

[gc83uk]

No - definitely no.

Your 3rd HST - you have ...

- a 1-day BEFORE photo
- a 2-days AFTER photo

... from the same area.

So you know exactly what they extracted - at least in this area.

your basically saying all the grafts extracted in this area were 2 hair grafts because you can see the before and after photos. Right, well I assumed at least some of the extracted hairs were 1 hair grafts, but as you say that can be verified and it looks like you already have verified that.

So your saying they didn't extract any 1 hair grafts or what? If you think so, then why was there 1 hair grafts in the dish, my imagination playing tricks on me?

[534623]

I'll tell you where they come from, my donor area. There is no doubt in my mind that they extract 1 hair grafts as well as 2 hair grafts.

No - definitely no.

But neither Gho himself nor any other HSCI doctor nor any technicians extract INTENIONALLY single-hair grafts. The HST extraction technique is basically NOT made for single-hair extractions, because you always need at least a second hair-shaft (which is significantly harder than follicle- or surrounding dermal tissue) to get the "2 follicles from 1 follicle" principle. So wherefrom are the many single-hair grafts you could see in the petri dish?

But I still want to hear your explanation because I'm keen to know more.

[534623]

Technically you said it was the recipient area which also isn't true, but I'll let that go. The fact of the matter is, I have had 2 other clinics tell me I have lots of 1 hair grafts in my donor. Why would I make that up?

The fact of the matter is, Gho has implanted plenty of 1 hair grafts as well as 2 hair grafts. I seen the grafts in the dish. I can see hundreds/thousands of one hair grafts in my donor area.

Yeah, that's what you reported 18 month ago, 1 day after your 1st HST...


"there was mainly 1 hairs and 2 hairs [in the petri dish], I think a few 3 hairs, but hardly any" - and that's exactly what we can see today in your recipient area.

But neither Gho himself nor any other HSCI doctor nor any technicians extract INTENIONALLY single-hair grafts. The HST extraction technique is basically NOT made for single-hair extractions, because you always need at least a second hair-shaft (which is significantly harder than follicle- or surrounding dermal tissue) to get the "2 follicles from 1 follicle" principle.

I can see where your coming from, it does seem like he has an ulterior motive. Reminds me a lot of Spanish Dude from hairsite.

Interesting - I thought exactly the same.

[gc83uk]

hmmm, I think he should rather explain you and the other guys this...


I mean, why should Dr. Nigam (who has, in fact, NO CLUE about anything) "send on of his doctors to do HST training" when Dr. Gho's technique just produces single hairs??

didi's logic is phenomenal on one hand, self-explaining (low price) on the other hand...

btw - I like Nigam's "COMPARING NIGAM'S versus GHO'S DOUBLING TECHNIQUE" thread on HS.

I mean, how can someone 'compare' something really working with a WET DREAM or 'wishful therories'??

I've just had a quick look at Didi photo which is meant to show I guess no or hardly any 1 hair grafts. However I have marked about 200 already, I got bored of doing anymore to be honest.

hmmm, I think he should rather explain you and the other guys this...

IMO and that is the opinion of most HT surgeons is that Dr Gho splits follicles, he perfected it, his FUE looks clean and pristinie but he does not create new hair follicles, it is just clever and misleadin marketing..it is still a good technique since theres no scarring but you get low density since most of growing grafts are single hairs

His HST training with fully equiped studio cost only 60 000 dollars,
I think Dr Nigam should send one of his doctors to do HST training and open clinic in India at low price , it only taked 9 months to complete
