Below – a 33-year-old AGA patient (it’s, of course, NOT damielmillo!!):
10 years before, the guy had a full head of hair and,
of course, not such severe thinning in his donor area …
Transplanting such a guy in his 20s, would have given him only a temporary benefit in the (balding) recipient area.
Anyway, when HSI doctors can’t manage to get more than 1600 HST grafts, as in damielmillo’s case,
how many grafts can normal FUE doctors get from damielmillo’s donor area?
what if 33 yo guy in the pic harvest (by HST ) every single hair from safe donor zone,
how many grafts would be there, 10k?
Today, and after around 10,000 HST extractions over the years …
… besides a loss of around 2k grafts (20% due to telogen hairs),
the safe zone of the 33-year-old guy would look like as the donor area of the guy on the right side.
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
********************************
Cotsarelis: “We discovered that hair follicle neogenesis following wounding
paralleled embryonic follicle development at the molecular level.
The regenerated hair follicles expressed KRT17, Lef1, alkaline phosphatase,
Wnt10b and Shh (Fig. 1i–o), which is analogous to embryonic follicles.”
********************************
Doing this (wounding) in such a way as Dr. Gho is doing this with HST extractions in the donor area (see pic above), is like making a “reset” or like making a “reboot” of the given number of hair follicle cycles.
This is a very interesting and informative thread, it highlights the fact that the safe donor zone for people who continue to NW6+ is potentially a lot smaller than is generally suggested, thanks for posting it IronMan
Yea didi exactly what you said. I don't think I'll pull off the buzz cut very well because I don't believe the 1400 I'm having will be thick enough over the bald area, so I'll prob shave it to the bone after a couple of weeks.
Incase anyone is wondering I'm having it done over 2 days, so there will be plenty of opportunity to photograph at the half way point.
my understanding is you are going to have around 35 grafts/cm2 ,
buzz cut will be ok provided you cut it very short, if its too long it will look a bit thin imo,
try clippers no guard and find your sweet spot
ask them many questions, any breakthroughs on horizon ,etc..and ask what they think abt dr nigam and his claims
