C5000 3rd HST Yesterday

[c5000]

Hi there

Just thought I would update everyone and let them know I got my 3rd HST yesterday.

Happy to put up pics if anyone wants them, but I won't be going to down the donor regeneration photo path. (I simply don't take good enough photos).

I got the 1403 grafts placed on the mid scalp and temples. I'm very happy with where the grafts were placed.

Hi C5000

how many grafts in total then? + how do you feel? cured? OK result? mid bald?

what did they say about your perspectives and further treatments? and did you get any news of what might come next in HASCI to help us?

thank you, put the pics, can't wait :-) and congratz

Hi Caddarick.

I've now had 4200 grafts (3 x 1400).

Happy with the result, but I don't think I'm cured yet as my crown is still thin. I am definitely going back, its just a matter of where to place the grafts in the next session.

I have attached a few pics to this post (taken from my phone). Let me know what you think mate.

[caddarik79]

OK, it's not too bad and donor looks great as always, did you have time to talk a bit with them?
How many more grafts can you go with no problem?

curious to see you with a longer lenght in a couple of months...

****, to get cured, I guess you need like 8 or 9 sessions, that is shit loads of money!!!

Very curious to see Gaz, also.

[c5000]

Yeah, they said I can definitely go back, just have to decide where to put the next 1400 grafts.

I was thinking maybe 5 procedures total to get an "ok" density and then yeah, maybe 8 or 9 in total to get "the illusion of a full head of hair"...

Anything is an improvement on what it was though.

I think the problem for me is that my hair loss hasn't properly stabilised yet. So I have had 4200 grafts done, but god knows how many hairs I've lost during this time due to MPB...

Are you going back Caddarik?

[caddarik79]

hey,

to be honest, 9 sessions to have the illusion of a full head, meaning 75.000 € for the illusion of cure, I am not ready for that.

we are in 2014, there should be a treatment allowing a full NW1 back for such a price.

I wouldn't mind paying 50.000 € for a full blown cure, NW1 normal density.

but paying 10.000 every year or two years to keep a shitty haircut from being slick, not sure it's the right move.

I might, but I am sour about all this, cause it's incredibly expensive and for this shit load of money, we should be cured and not ever worried again about ****ing hair!
I know it's the only bridging technique, but maybe it is smarter to endure my thinning and my situation and still enjoy the rest of what's positive in life for an extra couple of years... and keep my money aside for when they will offer a real solution!!!Now even if they have a fine technique and are professionnal, I find it very much expensive for what it brings >> keep a low density that makes you grumpy under spotlights and when windy.

[caddarik79]

a fair price would be 1hair for 1€ (when I say fair, I mean realistic for what you've got from it).

10.000 hairs >> 10.000 €

Wish you a happy growth man...

just curios do you guys keep your hair long or just keep it buzzed?

for some reasons i feel when HST hair is long it's kind of obvious that you had an HT due to the low density and angels of hair....

Looks strong!

Although hst is not proven, it can certainly make a great difference.
We are also starting to have a few people that did multiple procedures, soon we will have a really good idea of what you can expect if nothing revolutionary comes to the market, provided you have the money of course.

Keep us updated with pics as it matures.

You always seemed so positive about HST before. What has changed?

Cheers mate.

I usually keep it buzzed to around a grade 4 or 5. I think with this 3rd procedure I'll be able to grow it out a bit longer.

In terms of angles of the hairs, i've noticed that you can kind of train the hair to grow in the angke you want by combing it that way.

I'm really happy with my procedures so far.

Thanks mate.

Yeah, i'll upload pictures every now and then to keep everyone posted.

Yeah, Gaz has had 5, I've had 3 and I think Iron Man must be due to get his 3rd sometime next week. So if Gaz goes back then we will have proof that people can certainly go six times and this time next year when I've had my 4th, we'll know that you can have 4 procedures. I think IronMan will go back again and again also.

[caddarik79]

I still think they are the best out there... and I might go bridge it as you do, as Gaz do, as ironman do, cause so far, you are the ones recovering from your hairloss!
The price bothers me a bit when put in relation with what you get (amount of hairs).
I paid 10000€ to reframe the front, but it's still weak in density, which means that you have at least to go for three to four or five procedures to kind of be mildly happy.
50.000€ for a low density kind of head of hair, I just think it's not fair. Especially with what your decribe yourself: while checking your HST hairs appearing, you can still expect to see some native, fall and fall and fall, so your situation remains sort of neutral.

If they could do the real multiplication 1 hair becomes 5, it would be quicker to fix, and 50.000 or even 70.000, I wouldn't mind paying them, but for a real dense, full NW1 result.

But, it is so far, the only good option, so I might consider it (here I just bought places and booked exotic trips)..... good that we can follow your progress, guyzzz, Gaz should be really OK in another two sessions.
I am very much hesitating because of the slow/low scale of progress for the amount paid.

[caddarik79]

in short: paying shit load of money to maintain a thin hair situation, it's shitty.
Paying shit load of money to be cured or almost cured, it's different, it's a choice for your well-being, (you would still find people calling you "sick", even majority of them, but I would not mind paying the price of a fancy car, for my hair....even if that would still be unfair to hair loss sufferers)

[c5000]

I just feel that I should keep getting more grafts added to the top of my head until hair cloning comes around.

If I were to wait until hair multiplication came around without doing anything, I would probably just rather stay bald and get on with my life... I'm in my late 20s just now and so hair is really important to me... But by the time i'm 40 i'd probably just leave my hair bald if it wasn't for HST.

I keep saying it, but i'd rather enjoy having hair now than continually wait for a cure...

Also who is to say I will even live to 40? Life is too short and I'd prefer to enjoy it as much as possible now... You can spend a lifetime waiting for something that may never come. HST is here now and its the best option we have
