Another Gho question.

Hasci have also increased their maximum number of grafts per day from 2520 to 3000 on their website.

That has to be good news, however we're still to hear about a single person having more than 1800 done.

awesome!
it also looks like they dropped their prices a little as well!

I thought the same thing at first, but then I realised they are now showing prices in GBP £ on the english section. It's actually a bad deal, I'd rather pay them in euros because from my calcs it works out cheaper.

...and there are lots of 1-hair grafts everywhere.

Nice one I.M.

Clear as day.

I have just converted/inverted the pic...

...and with this, it's even more clear as day.

The problem is, this is a snippet of your last donor area photos you posted - so after 3 HST procedures. I know in advance that didi will know claim that "there are so many singles in the donor because Dr. Gho just splits the follicles (1 hair for the recipient and 1 hair for 'regrowth' in the donor)".

This is tremendous progress in my opinion! Obviously with the big area that you had to work on, 3000 grafts will not be enough. As we can see the area of your 1st and 2nd hst is much less dense than your sides. Your 3rd hst area is even less dense(its still too early to judge that area anyway). No matter what, it is still crazy progress. I hope you are happy with the result GC!

Btw, did you ask gho how many more grafts you can potentially get?

[richunter]

you need 80-100 hairs per cm2, thats only 50% original density but considered enough to pull off illusion of density
with HSTs 1.35 hairs / graft you need 60-70 hst grafts per cm2 x 200-250cm2

12 000 -17500 hst grafts

of course if you are lucky enough to get 2.5 hair/graft as they advertize you ll need much less grafts

I was wondering if I could get your take on these figures for a NW7? The way I see it, the needed number would be at least 25,000 hairs to get an NW7 back to stage 1.

I have heard a rough average of hairs on the head is 100,000. So if you start with that figure and halve it (to give the minimum number needed for the illusion of density) that gets you down to 50,000 for the whole head. Now if you assume half of that area is the permanent hairs and half the bald area, that means to fill the bald area at that density you need 25,000.

I say "at least" because I would assume the bald area on an NW7 is more than half the original area.

Actually, doing it another way I very roughly estimate the bald area could be about 20cm x 25cm = 500cm2 for my head. Times that by the 100 hairs per cm2 and you get a whopping 50,000 hairs.

I'd really appreciate people's thoughts on this.

I'm 36 yrs and probably NW4/5. Noticed receding hair in my early 20s. My mum's brothers were all NW7 by their early 50s - so I figure I'm heading in the same direction, so don't want to start down a path of treatment without really knowing what this is going to involve, or if it is possible to really achieve, in the long run.

This is a close-up snippet from your donor area...

...and there are lots of 1-hair grafts everywhere.

Firstable,This snippet is not from donor area, it is from recipient area
and yes you are right, there are lots of 1-hair grafts everywhere

I don't understand? I wish that was my recipient area, but it's not. It's the side of my head I think.

[gc83uk]

It's actually my forelock area which is not the recipient area and it is quite a dense area. But still lots of 1 hair grafts.

[didi]

exactly, forelock area is not your donor area like IM said,
how could he get that wrong? Cant escape Didis scrutiny

this is snippet of side of your head, i can see bilions of multi hair grafts
