I think healing is overrated, if we see hairs growing withing a few weeks then after 4 months it should be fine, by 4th month these hairs are growing normaly and extracting neighbouring hairs should not be a prob,
I dont know if Gho tried this already but giving it a go wouldnt hurt,
As hellouser said, in 1st pas he could target 1s and 2s, then 3s in 2nd pass....

Hard to say. I'm 28 years old and my hairline has obviously receded. It hasn’t gone so far back as to make it noticeable that I’m clearly balding since at my age and up most men WILL have their hairline recede by at least 1cm anyway, so its stronger than a mature hairline. However, my temples have gone bad and my scalp all over has thinned out drastically. I still have a lot of volume and can make the messy bed-head spiked look, but it starts to look pretty thin. I don’t have any bald spots so essentially, I’d need 2,000-3,000 grafts to give myself some fantastic volume. 900 grafts would be used on my hairline alone (27cm in length with a density of 30-35 grafts per cm2), with the remainder on my scalp and temples leaving 1,100-1,600 grafts. It’d do wonders. My case is a little less severe than Wesley Snejder’s.

Dr. Gho IS GOING UP in the number of grafts per procedure. On his website, it now shows they can transplant 2520 grafts in one day!!!!

I think the 9 month waiting list is to gurantee the regrowth 100% for all cases, as you know ppl heal differently. Many ppl would be fine with less than 9 months, i beleive GC went for his 2nd treatment after only 6 months from the first and he was fine.
But HASCI make rules that could apply for all cases even the hard ones.

Any suggestions?
Yes, you're just wrong - if HST works as claimed then every other procedure is unadulterated $__t by comparison.
The main reasons HST hasn't taken off is that HT doctors don't believe/ don't want to believe it works - they have a nice little earner going - and because the HST growth boosters applied to the extracted part of each graft are not FDA approved. This means if it took off US HT doctors would be shafted.

I agree that the evidence is very very strong now.

What does it take to get a 2.k graft session done? I mean, suppose you have the money ready and you say to Gho 'I want this much, take my money' why would he say no?

also young people heal faster, for example 25 yo will heal much faster than 55 yo but currently they are both have to wait 9 months which is crap, healing time can be adjusted depending on age, also non smoker heals faster than smoker
Right now Gho put 60 yo smoker in the same bag as 25 yo perfectly healthy non smoker
Point is theres absolutaly no need for younger patients to wait 9 months
and also he could increasy sessions according to patients age, i.e younger guys get more grfts since their healing is faster
