HASCI - -How well does it work? Now we'll be able to find out!

Arashi's analysis: 1166 hairs lost in the donor. (on page 15 of this thread)
My own analysis: 1243 hairs lost in the donor (on page 16 of this thread)

My analysis had a very different concept from Arashi's. The results for both oughta be re-checked at some point

Sorry did not see that. What were the conclusion for donor ?

[AlmostUndone]

Hello Almostundone,

Euuuuuuh, it seems that you provided pictures of your recipient.
But the regeneration debate is about what comes back in the donor area... no?
Their claim is that 85% of what is taken in donor will come back.

I don't get how could we figure this out with recipient ara pictures.

A while back we already did two separate analysis of the donor which you'll find earlier in this thread: Before and after, just like the recipient. What more do you wish for??

There is it. The final answer is in those pics! I put in immense markings, and now it shouldn't be hard for someone to count what the regeneration rate is.

Oh, time is up. I have done my share, delivered what I promised. I hope the pictures are enough to count all the new hair in the recipient, but I won't be doing it myself. Cheers

Thank you for taking the time to explore this thing in such depth! I am hoping results will show some regeneration, but if they dont show any i wonder if we have any sort recourse versus hasci...

[AlmostUndone]

Hey, I think one more week, and the final answer shall be laid before your eyes. We're almost there now.

I put the groundwork in place. The photo angles are beginning to match, but at this stage progress is gonna be very slow. (And my computer is even slower.)

Before (April 2015)
After (August 2016)

I've got myself some 200 new photos to sort out, today 15 months after the procedure. Looking pretty good, we'll see

[AlmostUndone]

Hmm sorry about the delay. Been very busy last month. I'll try to take the photos soon

[AlmostUndone]

So your approach would be to just count ALL the hairs in the both recipient areas that was implanted in ? And then do that for after and before ? Hmmm interesting idea, I think that would work better than trying to pinpoint every extraction point ... In that case we'd just need to link before and after without having to pay much attention to the extraction points themselves (other than making sure that we've pinpointed the whole area)

To consider pinpointing every extraction (implantation?) point, the before/after shooting angles should have to be very identical. But I'll somehow hope to achieve that at the end of July.

I'm getting the impression that the recipient looks the same as two months ago anyways.

Yes some of the hairs were strangely curled, but got better with time.

[Arashi]

I'm getting the impression that a lot of those 'thin' hairs in your recipient are hairs that just started growing in the last few months. Maybe it all gets clearer in a few months when those hairs have grown thicker. Hairs that start growing after a transplant, after haven fallen out, always start to grow in that same manner (very thin at first). So maybe we should wait a few months and then shoot the photo's again, what do you think ? Of course we could count before already (and even have a go at after of course)

*EDIT*

Look, here's an example of what I'm saying: http://hasci-exposed.com/images/example.jpg

These are new hairs that just started growing in the last 1-3 months. They start as very thin hair and mostly are curled in a weird way (which tends to get better of the months). I think this complicates the process at this point. I think it might be a lot easier to count in a few months, once these hairs are a bit thicker.

There's no way for me to take new pictures using natural light, before end of next month (the sun is now too high to reach any of my rooms). In the meanwhile I was hoping someone would try to count all the hairs in the recipient using the existing before and after-pictures. Let someone tell me it can't be done.

Still, it's quite difficult since there are a lot of those light coloured hairs, like you're wondering if it's even there or not, both in before and after ... This seems to complicate the recipient a lot compared to the donor. However this seems to be much more the case for the after photo's, which is a good thing cause these can be shot again. The before photo's seem to be clearer.
