    Recipient & Donor hair cycle?

    Do recipient hair regenerate permanently?
    And do successful regenerated donor follicle regenerate hair permanently?

    Yes and yes. 80% of donor hair regenerates.

      Nobody knows.... I think this is the most important question that a person who is going to have the hst procedure has to ask to himself. My dermatologist has advised me that it could be the risk that the hairs transplanted could live just for one cycle in the recipient and even in the donor area. I'm not saying that this is true but i have some doubts about it. We should know how long can live a FU for just one cycle. Maybe somebody who is seriously involved in the field could help us, or we could just see what happened with the oldest hasci patients in terms of hairs survive.

        Well, HASCI have a lot of people coming back for a number of repeat procedures and they are not going to do that if the hair is not cycling. HASCI has had hundreds of customers and I have not heard one complaint of this at all.

        Frankly it sounds to me like your dermatologist is whistling in the dark - that is of course the kind intepretation - the unkind interpretation is that your dermatologist is an ignorant scaremongerer...

          Yes, he could be as he couldn't.... i was jus trying to be the devil's lawyer to resolve all the possible doubts with the help of persons which are involved in the field or the persons who did the procedure long time ago to understand if it is the big deal as i think.....
