    I think you got what you wanted - what do you expect to hear?

    The point is, with every additional procedure, you will see REAL improvements with HST - unlike those guys who desperate try to move their beard onto their scalp every year (tc etc lol).

    Did HASCI give you a limit of 3 procedures?

    They didn't specifically say that.

    They just said for my NEXT procedure that they want to fill the gap between crown and hairline... So possibly the use of the word "next" rather than "last" suggests that they are not limiting me to 3 procedures.

    I'll ask the question to them directly and see what they say.

    So what do you think hellouser? Does it look like a good idea to try to fill the scalp the way I have?

    If HASCI's regenerations claims are true then do as many procedures as you can afford. Most cases I've seen are limited to three procedures, which is about as much as the maximum donor grafts from a single FUE procedure.

    I just got a reply from Hasci regarding my specific case and how many procedures I can get before my donor would be noticeably thin:

    "Certainly 4, but more if you let it grow longer. You don't see the density loss in that case.. density wise you can do more treatments. There is enough (if you don't shave it to short)."

    So yeah, seems like I can do 4 procedures while still shaving my hair short.

    That's good news for me as to be honest I plan to have my hair a similar length to Bradley Cooper in the Hangover films.

    I how many more procedures do you think I would need to achieve a reasonably full head of hair? Another 2 would be my guess...

    That 85% regeneration claim is pure crap then. You dont charge more than an FUE with the same donor amount if you have 85% regeneration.

    I'm not sure to be honest... Whenever I look at how Gaz has been transformed, I think that there just HAS to be regeneration.

    I think maybe Hasci is just very very conservative.

    If the 80% regrowth would be real, HASCI could do 14 (!!) HST surgeries before an average donor starts to look unnatural. They advise you a max of 4 (and you're even below their regular 1600 per transplant). Go figure.
