While we are still waiting Kobren-Gho interview I thought this would be interesting read, HST was known back in 2005, means its been around for 7 years
JB: 14) I’m certain that you believe HST is a viable interim alternative while patients await the arrival of HM. HST obviously increases the overall number of harvested donor follicles that are possible. What do you feel the potential range of donor follicles is when performing HST? (IOW, by re-harvesting donor hairs over and over, what range of donor follicles can patients expect to yield in total before their donor site is exhausted?)
Dr. Gho: In theory, it is possible to use the same donor area / donor hair follicles again without any limitation. Practically, our main goal is to achieve a natural result. Therefore, it is not necessary to have more than 2 to 3 treatments for the frontal area and 2 to 3 treatments for the crown.
