    Those were just jpeg images. The bitmap versions should be somewhat better quality:








    Also, work remains to be done concerning the extraction-hole photos, such as these which are examples:

    (In this case, the red borders are merely approximations!)

    I hate to tell you to wait, just wait. It's almost always dark by the time I come home from work et. al. The light rental shop might soon have to substitute for the daylight, if I am unable to take photos prior to dusk.

    We need to decide how to make sense of all the material. Below is my partitioning of the entire donor area (before the procedure) which I recently completed. Around the "fringe areas" (close to the red borders), where the photos start sliding out of focus, you can usually get a glimpse of the hairs from two slightly different angles.






    Some alternate viewpoints exist separately in these image files:

    Yes of course!

    Cheer up! We're a just few days short of the planned three month mark! That said, a few conditions need to be met for the next round of photos

    a) I should take the next photos at daytime - just like in the extraction photos, when I had the benefit of sufficient sunlight.
    b) I have been (and will be in the near future) during daytime at home only about once a week. If there aren't many sunny days, I should need the big light equipment for rent... which is kind of a big hassle, to scheduled two successive days in order to pick up and return them from a bit of a distance. (In any case, I am going to rent the big lights for the one-year photoshoot)
    c) Yeah I've been maybe too much of a perfectionist with fleshing out the "before" pictures. Finding the best ones was very hard, and some of the pictures had no markers. A lot of time in summer has gone into that, but now almost all the work is finished
    You sound very determined to make this the one and only, final case on HASCI, I like that ! And I agree, one good case actually is all that's needed. As some people still seem to have some faith in HASCI, I would also really like to see this analysis happening. I'm very busy lately, but if I can be of any help, let me know please !

    funny how the outcome for HST follow-up is always kind of disappointing...

    Very busy ATM... But I haven't been hit by a bus yet, no. I'll report back when there's something more substantial

    hope it will not be like for Gaz and the guy will disappear, vanish, when it starts to be really interesting.

    How are you doing mate ? Just checking up on you, since you're almost at the 3 months now so you could start doing the analysis, at least the pre-post surgery part and when that's finished you can do the rest. You are still planning to do this, right ?

    I think what we need is the HASCI procedure to be immediately followed by a three week application of Follicept. Then in order for the hair follicles to begin regeneration, the head needs to be emerged in an ice bath, while wearing a laser helmet followed by onion and garlic therapy. that one's for you Arashi.

    Almost 2 months, yeah! Donor looks maybe a bit thicker than it did one month ago. Sorry, but you're gonna have to wait to September. Right now I have very, very much work. I might bring you the pre-op material sooner, but looks like whatever time-off I have goes into traveling etc. etc.
    Nah no worries mate. Personally I think it's a bit waste of time, we have enough proof that it doesn't work. But it would be the cherry on the cake to show it using a complete analysis of HST surgery.

    Hey Almostundone, next week you're at 2 months I think ? Did you do the initial analysis already (comparing pre surgery to post surgery) ?
