Why Gho's HST matters

Kristel was the main doctor. I was very happy with her, she was not only very nice but seemed very skilful as well. I was also very happy with the technicians Stephanie and Rolf. They both have a very long experience as technicians (Stephanie said she had been doing this for 9 years already). When Stephanie took a break, an 'assistant technician' took over for half an hour and all I can say I was SO happy when Stephanie came back again The ratio between drilling and succesfull extraction was on average about 20:12 with Stephanie, where it was about 20:3 with the assistant ... As the drills are so extremely thin, it's a very difficult process ...Comment

Maybe if you had read my previous post, you would have seen that I had done just that already.Comment

I'm not 100% sure anymore, but I think it was aim4hair (>2000 HST grafts) who reported that they had absolutely no problems to extract such an amount from his donor area. But indeed, he also repoted that there was a certain area in his case, where they had problems to extract the grafts - but not in all other areas.
As soon there is an area, or if the whole donor area is "such a problematic area", the given donor area for extractions SHRINKS mathematical, so to speak. And the smaller the donor area for good extractions, the lesser the chance to get really large amounts of HST grafts. In such a case, try to get as muchas HST grafts as you can from such a donor area, and then convert to traditional FUE with SHARPER punches. With such punches, you can extract grafts even from hard scar tissue. Or you extract with normal FUE from all those areas, where hsci doctors noticed problems. But again: 1st HST, than FUE - and not conversely. If you do it conversely, forget HST extractions - they will have problems with extractions thereafter and in such cases they will also not guarantee you donor regrowth.Comment

btw - it was Stephanie who confirmed my theory, even without asking her outright "such complicated questions". She (nice girl) was a little bit disappointed, because I didn't even ask her "is there really donor regrowth??" lol. I only said "aha" after she herself (after a while) mentioned this.Comment

In my case the extraction was very smooth and fast in all areas.Comment
