Great thread! I have been thinking about this and I think the problem is that it is really up to Dr. Gho to prove his technique and not up to his patients who are being charged for his services, which is virtually impossible anyway. I for one hope that he is the real deal, but I think it’s unfair and naïve to put the onus on other hair transplant doctors who are not allowed to learn about his technique or even experiment with it unless they pay a fee and a royalty for each procedure. The best way to conduct the study would be for Dr. Gho to train several well known doctors in the technique and provide them with all instrumentation and necessary proprietary solutions etc, at cost of course so that a multi site, independent study can be conducted. This is the way things are done in medicine.
Now of course Dr. Gho has every right to hold this proprietary technology close to his vest, but it’s unfair to blame anyone else for holding it back when it is actually Dr. Gho himself who is not sharing it. The hair transplant industry would grow like wild fire if Dr. Gho’s technique pans out. These doctors would be busier than they ever were, so it only makes sense that they would want a technology like this to offer their patients. Those who believe otherwise can’t be very business savvy. This technique would even benefit strip doctors because most strip doctors do FUE also, so being able to do a strip which would supply a lot of hair for one procedure and then being able to go back in to extract grafts that would then regenerate would offer patients a faster result with the plus of having practically unlimited donor. It’s ridiculous to think that any doctor or businessman would not want this to happen, so those people who think there is some big conspiracy over this are a little out of touch with reality. Gho has to be completely on board for any initiative that anyone comes up with and I hope he is, because I want this to work like everyone else does.
