CIT and HST are just varieties of FUE with different names. Both FUT and FUE have their places in the treatment of hereditary hair loss - but neither are appropriate for someone in their 20's - unless they have uncommon/unusual circumstances.

I'm well aware of this, but both of those techniques claim to have regeneration, giving you more hair to transplant in the future. How isn't HST appropriate if a person has to funds to keep getting the treatment as hairloss progresses? You can shave your head whenever you want and won't have visible scarring!

At this point it is just a claim and nothing more. Dr. Gho himself even admitted it will be many years before he will be able to prove he is regenerating any hair at all. By the time we do have meaningful proof, better treatments will likely be available - and those are less invasive than transplant surgery.

Okay I agree with some of that..but then tell me what harm is one doing at all by having HST done? you can lose more hair in the future..sure, but than you can just shave it off since HST scarring is at a microscopic level it isn't visible to the human eye. And more than likely, by the time you have an HST or two in the next 5 years there, like you said, will be better treatments out there...so one wouldn't have to worry about future loss...so worst case scenario, you have a few HST's and do that until you run out of donor hair (if HST doesn't regenerate like it is supposed to) and by this time..every treatment in the pipeline fails....you just bust out the razor and shave it all off...that is why I'm saying you can safely have a treatment with Gho at a young age, because you can always shave it all off

You're reading way too much of the BS on these forums. CIT is Dr. Cole's version of FUE, nothing more nothing less. And HST is questionable at this point (even though I am hopeful that it will be proven one day),
I also think Baldnessfalls should wait for at least a couple of years to have any surgery. It's apparent that he is not emotionally ready for this.

I know what CIT is and what HST is, I've done extensive research. I'm just stating that you can do an HST and have no harm done because it doesn't leave visible scarring, so you could shave it all off at any point of time
