Pentarou, you assume i need the cure.Comment

wow, that was too easy. exaggerated photos of a scar that wouldn't ever be seen in the first place? nope, no problem with that. any other angles or is gho just a million dollar non-scarring fue that takes 10 years?Comment

If you don't have a problem with that, and if you think that you can get with normal hair transplants "much better, much denser frontal region at a CHEAPER cost from one of the billion superior ht doctors" - and in addition, you don't have a problem with any scarring ...
... wtf are you still doing here??
I mean, especially in a Gho forum ...Comment

you speak in extremes. both of us know it's a lost cause to use Gho past NW5, that he will be outmoded before you could be restored to NW1. if he speeds up the time between procedures and increases the number of grafts we'll talk. until then, you're still getting hair at a snail's pace, spending a ton of money, and keeping your hair buzzed most of the year, and by the time you catch up some other guy will simply combine something like histogen with something like RU or BNP and buy a Mercedes.Comment

I'm asking you why you are the single biggest Gho fan when he cannot help you before something else will.If you don't have a problem with that, and if you think that you can get with normal hair transplants "much better, much denser frontal region at a CHEAPER cost from one of the billion superior ht doctors" - and in addition, you don't have a problem with any scarring ...

Actually, i think for nw5 +, the only option is gho, but they need to have realistic expectations.
Let's face it, most advancd cases will not have enough donor supply to give them a decent head of hair, and by going for traditional HT, they will destroy their chances of shaving down without HT evident stamps all over their donor.
With gho, those advanced cases can go for couple HSTs just to frame their face with a decent hairline and have light covergae behind it, and then just sport the buzz cut.
There is a huge difference between the bald nw look and a buzzed cut (even grade 1 or 0) with a hairline and 5 clock shadow, with no scars showing on domor area.Comment

Right - such a "plan" counts especially for the kids (lol) ...
I mean, seriously: Most young guys start to struggle with their temple areas - right?
At the same time or a few years later, mostly the whole front area starts to "break away".
So why not starting early enough to restore with HST step-by-step at least the front area? The front area is the most problematic zone for most guys and to restore at least the front area step-by-step, while always KEEPING OPTIONS (donor regrowth) - that doesn't cost you an arm an a leg.
Just a few such examples:
The guy TOBBAN at the Swedish forum:
He is now at the 6 month mark, and his first problem (temple areas) is already solved with just 1 procedure. And if you compare his "now" photos with photos from 3 years ago (the point in his life when he started losing his hair in the temple areas) - nobody (not even he himself) will ever know (anymore) that he had a hair loss problem. And even if he is losing more hair in future (whole front area etc) - simply doing another procedure while always KEEPING OPTIONS in his donor area, just in case.
Yeah, and the guy NeedHairASAP, for example, is such a similar case ...
Anyway, they all have still OPTIONS IN FUTURE (contrary to normal hair transplants and IF you will be a NW5 to NW7 guy one day) and in case if hair loss is progressing ...
So instead of wasting time and waiting for any "miracles" or rubbing every day any BS onto your head and especially into the temple/front area - simply replacing "bad stuff" in your front area with healthy "good stuff" (healthy hair follicles) - that's the (affordable) KEY while still keeping OPTIONS or even if you "think" there will be a much better "miracle" one day on the market.
Restoring the front area NOW is the key for most guys. Everything beyond is just frustrating and a waste of time ...
Crystal clear...
I'm sorry guyzz but this is the reality.
For sure it "sucks" because expensive and you have to repeat but as IM said, you keep options and you can restore your frame while observing what's happening in your vertex.
I have the same kind of plan...I am currently monitoring my 1 HST results, comparing... I keep in touch with Deborah, keep in touch with this forum for new stuffs, I am not blinded by Gho, he is just the best option for now...punt aan de lijn.
and if you have money, why would you keep hating wind, rain, pictures, etc...because of a shitty hairline falling apart?
We are lucky compared to dudes who were 20 or 25 in the early 80's or 90's...
As we once said here with Arashi, and I'm sure IM sees it the same way, we can "bridge it"...
If you have a Ed Harris situation and Gho can slowly bring you back to a Jude Law situation, it's still cool...
If you are NW6 and you can restore a forelock, a top of head dense enough and yet have options with donor, you should just be happy of this reversal...
If it takes 5 years for a NW7 to reach a NW3 dense, it's already a good improvement, and in 5 years we are in 2018, it will probably be even better.
But why would you waste your twenties and thirties by just waiting and debating about stuffs that are always 5 years away when you can start to fix it and not be devoted to Gho forever but using his technique until for real, something better shows off???Comment

I agree with you to an extent that we want to do something while we still have youth, but HTs are always a risk. The only difference with a Gho HT is that there is the option of shaving if hair loss progresses (which, admittedly, is a major benefit). Of course, I don't like the waiting around in the hope that new treatments will come (who does!), but I just find HTs a risk. They are expensive as hell on top of that.
Even that Swedish Guy Tobban, in one of his posts acknowledges that his hairline will look weird when his native hair is lost, and is hoping for a solution to the hair loss problem. To quote him (slightly lost in translation as I used google translate;
''then we'll see how long it will be before the hair loss progresses so that the hairline looks odd. Then it will be said that shaving again so I hope there has been no revolutionary solution for us with hair loss. Please God!?''
HTs are NOT a long term fix IMO, particularly for guys in early stages of hair loss and for those who will progress to a NW7, UNLESS you are able to stop the loss at some point using medication.Comment

Sure, there is IM and Arashi and Tobban and gc, but then, there's also roger_that, maxhair, Kiwi and, dare I say it, Winston (unless he has revised his opinion) and guys like Umar. I don't, for the most part, know how to assess the credibility of these people, but I do know.... I'll almost certainly like to wait around for another few years to see what's happening (not excluding Gho's camp), concentrating on my own stuff, rather than invest time to become a hair expert or even attempt trying to put the pieces together from the thousands of posts. A few years - that's what it'd take anyway, plus the effort, if I decided to take the HASCI road and "find out for myself if it works" - maybe starting first with a very small procedure, and documenting it for my own use. Waste of time? Perhaps not, but frustrating, hm....Comment

BOOM! This is my take on it and the smartest so far.Right - such a "plan" counts especially for the kids (lol) ...

That's to say you care about having a mercedes. I can afford one but I don't give a **** about having a mercedes. I'd rather drive a taurus and look good with hair than have a mercedes and holes in my head. **** a mercedes.
It sucks but not THAT bad. I mean look at options a few years back.
NO REGENERATION AND HOLES IN YOUR HEAD
Sure this is slow... sure it's costly..but its as close to a "cure" as we have right now. and **** it if you're early enough you might be able to fake a full head for many years.. with the right $$$Comment
-
And although we don't have 100% proof regeneration occurs... this is still the best procedure by far for the anti-scarring alone.
Regeneration is just a super BONER plus side to it if its true.. and supposedly it is.Comment
-
Yes I'm sure about regeneration as well...
and if you have money with not so much limits, I'm sure you can really achieve something good...
The back to NW1 will probably come in the next 5 years...assuming that even HST has a marge of improvement and that Gho is a perfectionnist and will not wait that other doctors develop donor regeneration without going himself further to stay and keep on staying the number 1 innovative and safest and most efficient hair loss cure....
and IF, meanwhile there are some competitiors and other treatments, it's all benefits...
But like IM said, and I used to repeat the same before on this forum and hairs*te forum... if your hair loss is central, obsessing you, then start the fight, be smart, don't deplete your donor, make a good strategical decision, restore the front first, stop spending money on every other sh*tty treatments, because all the rest is BS.
if tomorrow, other talented docs are proposing real documentedHST, we will be free to try and see who is the best...
and we can monitor Gerard Joling and Sneider evolutions as well...I doubt Gho would go so public and so "show business" if not sure of his technique, but that's just my opinion.
The biggest issue is the money...this is the biggest STOP...
there should be a slight improvement on prices, not crazy but a good 20% or 25% cheaper would be good...
But again as one said, I prefer to drive a VW Golf and enjoy and go back to my previous appearence (because, it's not even like we are going cosmetic surgery to look like another ideal person, we just want what we use to have, back!!!)...so I would prefer a full head, my full head and have a rubbish car then a BMW and be worried at every date or any windy day, or whatever spotlight shitty situation... I mean, it's always there, and it sucks your attention...you are less in the present with that annoying dysfunctionning scalp situation, LOLComment
