HST reply - claims of 6-8 HSTs

Not only are there no high-graft results, the results they do have don't look particularly fantastic. Go look at the work of Shapiro/Hasson and Wong/Rahal/etc and show me any results from Gho that come close to what they do.

That's right in a sense. However the way I see it, Gho doesn't do mega sessions, never has done, never will.

Gho is just about reducing/eliminating scarring in the donor area with 'some' regrowth in the donor IMHO.

That is a major step forward and should be celebrated as an advancement of sorts. It's not directly comparable to Hasson and Wong, if you've got good donor then there is no need to even consider Gho. Why would you? Just go and get your 10,000 FUT from H&W and move on. It's almost as if Gho is vilified for not giving H&W standards with 85% donor regrowth. If that's what you're looking for then forget it.

I would advise people to consider Gho, who have been rejected from other clinics, people with less than average donor or want to have the option of shaving at a later date, this latter reason is reassuring for people that worry about losing more hair in the future...
I should also add people who have suffered burns on the scalp and alike would be treatable by Gho, I have no idea if other surgeon operate on burns!

My biggest concern with using a normal clinic, was what happens after I've depleted my donor using FUE or FUT and my hair loss develops into a NW6 or 7 pattern? I wouldn't want to shave because of the scars, so it was catch 22 and Gho was the only solution for me and maybe others.

There are more doctors discussing donor regrowth now and being proactive, so if Gho is not for you I'm sure they'll be plenty of options with the likes of Dr Nigam, Dr Wesleys Pilofocus, Dr Mousseigne to name a few.

I think the depression inherent in hairloss pushes people to find a "savior", sometimes if the savior doesn't live up to the standards, then people become very pessimistic.

I don't believe it is monetary investment. Whenever somebody has a good result with a doc, they seem to develop an emotional investment in him, and become an unofficial supporter on the forums.

IM takes it to another level.

I have never quite understood that phenomenon. I mean I could understand someone making outrageous accusations about your doctor and then coming to their defense, but the undying allegiance is really weird. I mean in reality the only thing you owe the doctor is the money you pay them for their service, after that your obligation to the doctor is satisfied.

Your posts used to make me feel confident in HST and Gho.. but more and more I realize you're not objective and must have some sort of monetary investment in them.

Of course he's not objective. Asking IM to criticise Gho is like asking the Pope to denounce Christianity!

You could tell IM the sky was blue and he'd try to argue with you.

They are still asking stupid questions - like they did for over a decade now.

Yeah you know those questions that you ask to verify claims of 85% regeneration that continue to go unanswered, so stupid...

...I was referring to other 5k graft cases....

...where are the others?
Gho has been doing this for over a decade now.

Fair enough, will watch out for yours. But it does beg the question, where are the others? Gho has been doing this for over a decade now.

Where can I see Gho results of >5000 grafts? Don't say Dean Saunders, his result is very mediocre. I can see tons of results from H&W, Rahal, Lorenzo, Erdogan, Shapiro, but whenever we ask for evidence of Gho all we get is "look at Dean Saunders".

Agreed you won't find any YET. Give it about 10 or 11 months and I'll kindly document mine, which should be around 6000 by then.

[caddarik79]

Well bullshit or not, 10,000 grafts from someone claiming 85% donor regeneration is not impressive in the least, unless it were done on a slick Norwood 7 with very low donor density.

I so much agree with you!!!
85% donor regeneration should offer a galery of crazy and uncommon great results.
