    Don't get me wrong. A higher multiplication rate is always better then a lower one, moreso in the fact that you don't have to extract as many follicles from the donor. But there's only a certain amount of follicles you'll be able to implant at a time without seriously compromising the survival rate and your health. There's been quite a few unfortunate cases where implanting too many follicles at too high a density led to necrosis and other complications.

    Even if you have all the hair follicles in the world, I can't see procedures greater than 5000 grafts at the very most. If you have a doubling/tripling procedure, I think even the poorest donors should be able to get a few thousand at a time.

    So unless you find a way to implant hair cells and have them hone in on existing miniaturized follicles or come up with some other technique to achieve proper cosmetic growth, then I don't think you really need extremely high multiplication rates.

    .
    this... another reason that gho doesnt do high graft procedure. Could be a good cop out for him, but either way, it's the truth.
