Is 2013 year of HST?

[didi]

As we can see Ghos technique is becoming more and more popular with forum members and people in general

Im I seeing change in perception towards HST, at first it was totaly ignored and dismissed by everyone you can say, in 2012 HST started to emerge as the real force, you cant see Gho bashers anymore, it must be said that Spencers interviews helped a lot in clarifying things about technique


2013sgoing to cause lot of uneasiness among trditional HT supporters,
Spencer promissed broadcasting HST live from Holland, thats gonna have a huge impacat on industry in terms of spreading awareness.
The problem I see is that most people who have fue/fut these are not even aware of Dr Gho and his technique and many Drs are quite happy with status quo,

I believe everyone who considers HT should consider HST, it cant be emphasized enough.

Is HST in 2013 going to be too big to ignore

[J_B_Davis]

I agree that if it were not for Spencer no one important, including Dr. Cole would really even take a second look at Gho, so kudos to Spence, but I don't think Gho's HST is even close to being proven. Just my opinion.
I think 2013 will, however be a HUGE year for FUE.

Why do you think this?

[J_B_Davis]

It just seems that every doctor is now offering it. I'm also seeing more and more FUE cases posted in this forum and I'm also going by what I heard of Spencer's show when they were discussing the ISHRS meeting in the Bahamas.

FUE is old news, i thought it was typo and you meant hst..

HSt and HM is future future, fue had its glory days

Gho is right n he shouldnt be sharing his technique with morons,Drs that can only move hair from point a to point b...nothing scientific about it..many still do strip

[clandestine]

Agree. Things are moving too quickly for FUe to continue to hold ground. HST is indeed the future, as it should be.

Feels good man. HST is essentially a near reversal (not cure) of baldness. Assuming enough finanacial ability + patience one could fully stop his baldness or reverse his Nw7 into a nw1

[kaandereli]

HST should replace FUE as soon as possible.i hope doctors are also willing to update their methods.HST will allow people to put their faith in science again.

[neversaynever]

HST is too expensive and limited right now to replace fue.

There are still far too many good fue results vs the very few hst results.

I dont see how hst can replace fue when we havent seen any kind of hst transformation. But i can dig around the forums and see plenty of fue and fut transformations. Until that changes, hst will remain in the shadows.

Celebrities dont count.

The price is important. Not many people can afford £8000 per year for hst.

hst price is on par with FUE or even cheaper..

the problem with hst is that we haven seen single transformation yet,
on top of that it can take you 5-7 years to see nw5-6 transform to nw1..

not many people have patience to wait that long...

unless gho increases number of grafts per session hst wont replace fue

[kaandereli]

does gho use beard hair as donor site? i ve been wondering on this

[kaandereli]

i ve been wondering that the reason there isnt yet a cure might be related to the lack of imperative for the current fue doctors to innovate their technique.

there is tons of money from patients pouring , why bother for sth satisfying also for the patients?

if hst leads to a drop in fue operations then those doctors could be urged to devise actually satisfying treatments.

True.

I think most people sitting at nw2-3 would be fine doing 1200-1400 grafts every other year (my first procedure was 1405). Or maybe three consecutive years, with a large 2-3 year gap before procedure #4.

I was nw3, after my first procedure (and some topic for the crown), I'm at nw2ish. I think another procedure up front, and if my crown thins too much for topic, then another one in the back, and I'd be all set for a few years ---- depending on future rate of hair loss. So, that's $30,000usd over 4,5, or even 6 years.

I could use another 1400 up front at my one year point (late august), but I think I may hold off. I'm comfortable with where Im at-- and can't really afford to blow more money just yet. Maybe I'll get in there at the 2 year point, or 1 and half year point. We'll see.



It would be nice if it became cheaper, but Gho must be compensated for his research, rent must be paid, taxes, secretaries, tools created, web designers, utilities at all locations, other fees, and technicians deserve to be fairly compensated. In the end, it can only be so cheap.


anybody interested in HST, whom has a job and decent credit, I suggest you look into cosmetic surgery loans... currently you can get an interest rate close to 1% or less, if you pay it back in 24-36 months. That's $295usd a month for two years... well worth an HST.

Yeah, except those who share my experience aren't feeling very safely reassured that we'll get what we pay for, given the persistence of the detractors (both doctors and regular forum members) we bump into and all the of suspicion (Spencer?) towards the treatment. What stops us from getting it is fear and not necessarily bling.
