Hairline improvement images for Gho?

[caddarik79]

so Arashi, I think we have the same type of hairloss

do you think that the smartest is to bridge it and wait for better things to come without doing to much costy HST in between?

I am clearly hesitating...wether it's better to push it with HST like Gerard Joling for example (bij voorbeeld ;-) ik spreek een beetje nederlands als ik in Belgie woon.

or is it better to extend a maximum between two sessions so that it leaves time for a cutting edge thing or even for Dr Gho to propose better in between.


Example: we are in 2013 and will enjoy the final result of first HST in mid 2013...should we run for a second one by the end of this year? or try to do 2013and 2014 with our first HST and see what's happening in the hair multiplication field???

Or should we push it and do the maximum HST our thinning situation allows, example 2 or 3 HST in two years, and then wait a good 5 years?

Maybe even consider Dr Wesley:

What this industry needs, what Dr Gho needs, what you and I need are HT doctors competing in this space.

It'll drive the price down and advance the field.

no, if there is no regeneration, I don't buy it!!!
I jumped for Gho because of the 80-85% regenerartion they seem to be sure about and their studies showing even more regeneration on 5 patients (but few grafts).

Now, the price and knowing that even a donor might have plenty of MBP hairs in it, I reconsider the strategy...

Rushing and give thousands and thousands of money for a slow reversing that might end up in a new hairloss in 15 years, I'm not sure... I mean, at the cost it is right now...

So, I might oblige myself to be more patient, even if I found Gho staff very professionnal, and the procedure absolutely not painfull.

I'm wondering if Nigam will not accelerate things!!!!
Anyway, I'm almost 7 months post op, another 2 or 4 months to see the final result... I hope I can enjoy it for a year or two without worrying to much, and then see what's new in the field... (the paradox is that saying that, I'm still torturing myself with the possibility to add an extra 1800 grafts with a second session, making the front fuller and starting a bit in the crown)

This is the worst thing about hairloss, it ****s you up psychologically. One day you think your hair is ok for now, the next day u dont like it and want to have something done about it.

You just cant live without thinking about it 25 times a day.

I think this also has to do with mirrors and lighting. in some mirrors my hair looks really good and i feel there is no need for any more treatments,, same day on other mirrors my hair looks thin as ****

Agreed, our hairloss seems very similar. I'm definitely thinking about another session in about half a year. I don't think I'll densify a specific area, but just the whole upper scalp+crown, with as much grafts as possible (they could get 1600 in my case last time). I think after this I'll be fine for a few years. Of course I'm going to discuss this with HASCI and ask for their opinion about it, but I don't see any good reason as to why not to go for it.

I do see good reasons for not going TOO often in the next few years, you and others outlined them in this topic. To me the most important is that we MIGHT have other/better options in the (not TOO far away) future, maybe from HASCI, maybe from others, so as long as you're happy with your hair, I think overdoing it is not wise.

But wouldn't there be a risk even if it's a tiny one to have shockloss in te areas where you still have hair.
I think even HASCI try to avoid transplanting grafts between existing hair, no ?

Sure, but AFAIK schockloss will always grow back.

what's afaik shockloss ? i hope this is the case! then i'll thicken all over while focusing a bit more on the front.

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

Haha, that makes sense

As promised, my 5 months update:

And my pre-op:

Seems I'm pretty much right on schedule. Can't wait to find out how it looks next month, will surely update again.

How many grafts was that?

[Arashi]

How many grafts was that?

1600. It's hard to guess how many have regrown by now. 5 months is still very early. In my photo's I could see the first signs of regrowth after 2 months, but I was also still shedding. It seems my 3 month mark was the moment when I had the least amount of hair. As you can see regrowth is kicking in nicely now and I'm expecting good things to happen in the months to come

Do you plan to grow it out at all once you have reached the full result? Or will you keep it buzzed as it is?

It'd be great to see a post op picture with your hair the same length as your pre op length.
