    Lightbulb Can Ghos .6mm punch extract anything above 2 hair grafts?

    We all heard FUE docs say how its very hard to extract multi hair follicles even with .8-9mm,
    and HASCI is using .6mm drill , thats significantly smaller needle,

    Looking at some of dr Ghos results posted on this forum all I can see are single and double hair follicles, thats is a worrying to say the least.
    Plus HASCI techs do extraction pretty fast without any glasses or anything that would help them with drilling, thats impressive but I have a feeling they dont transplant anything above 2 hair grafts?


    Also, hasci said they cant extract my beard hair with .6 punch as its hair is too thick and punch is too small,(btw they do BHT if conditions are right)
    so i thought If they cant extrct my single hair beard how can they extrct 3 hair graft with the same needle

    i came to conclusion that you get scarless HT at the expense of density due to low average of hairs per graft


    What do you think guys

    Might be an idea to email question directly to Hasci.

    They'll reply within a few hours, job done.

    I think he rather prefers Drs gc83uk's and IronMan's biased opinion.

    Would HASCI ever admit they cant or avoid extracting anything above 2 hair grafts? Their answer would be very biased, besides they say on their website average hair per graft is 2.5 then in email they say is 2.0..wht I have seen on GCs scalp its around 1.5..

    Just using common sense, if their drill is too small for my beard then you know 3s and 4s would be impossible to take out, then even if they manage to extract those types of follicles I doubt they would all grow, maybe partial growth


    Thats why Dr Gho avoids scrutiny from experienced FUE dos, they would call him out on it and Gho is fully aware of his achilles heel


    Perhaps he should consider increasing punch size for larger grafts, theres HUGE difference between getting singles +doubles only VS 2s and 3s

    maybe HST 3.0 can deliver

    WTF is that all about HST 3.0. Maybe I missed it but isn't it just some nonsense Ironman made up ?

    Next generation of HST

    AS we know HST is not perfect HT but tbh knowing how conservative Gho is we not gonna see any improvements in HST, nothing soon anyway

    btw HSI is unreliable as its yields are unpredictable, anywhere between 20% to 80%

    HASCI never claim to extract the entire follicle whether it's 1,2, or 3 grafts.
    They just extract a part of the follicle which should be doable with .5/.6 drill!!

    Just in case you guys don't know what "scarring alopecia" actually is:

    What is Scarring Alopecia?

    Alopecia is a blanket term for hair loss. Scarring alopecia, or cicatricial alopecia, occurs when the hair follicle is destroyed and replaced with scar tissue. Scarring alopecia affects both men and women and people of all ages. In some cases, cicatricial alopecia forms slowly over time and in other cases it may occur immediately following the scalp injury.

    Yup, it's well-known that grafting into scar tissue works superp...
