Gho's files patent for Hair multiplication

[rhysmorgan]

Very interesting post Arash, thanks for this.

For me, assuming Gho is being honest is this:

"In addition, the methods of the present invention offers other great advantages over the existing hair multiplication methods, including greater hair density per transplant unit as well as improved aesthetic results, i.e. the achievement of more realistic and natural looking results. This is achievable because the methods of the present invention not only provides greater hair density per hair implant in the recipient area (e.g. scalp) but also allow the natural regrowth of the plucked hair in the donor area, which guarantees no hair density loss in the donor region of a subject. Furthermore, because the perforations (i.e. punctures made by the plucking and implanting needle) made to harvest and implant donor hairs are very small (pore size <1 mm), both harvest and implant locations are undistinguishable from the surrounding (unprocessed) areas. As a result, hair grafts can be placed much more tightly together, in a manner that mimic natural hair arrangement, so as to avoid undesirable (unnatural looking) effects such as "bunching effects".

This essentially would revolutionise hair transplantation IF it can be implemented as stated, and IF it is as effective as stated. It would be both scarless, not affect the donor area and also be much more efficacious.

It's hard to believe this as it sounds like a panacea.
