    Does anybody know if Gho does graft counts that include the number of hairs per graft. For instance;

    3000 1s
    2000 2s
    700 3s
    90 4s

    I ask because I'm curious as to whether or not the FUE tool that he uses is more likely to only produce 1s because of the diamator of his tool.

    I have the same concern. With HST you can't transplant a 3 haired follicle unless you transect a 4 which are few and far between. Likewise with 3s they probably transect and transplant 2 with hopefully 3 growing back in the donor. I'd imagine it's predominantly 1s and 2s. It is a legimate concern.

    If they are really getting these regeneration rates I wouldn't worry so much because you can go back in and put a 2 hair FU right beside another 2 hair FU. If it really works (we need to give it time, we'll know one way or another in 18months - 24months when the rich people want to go back for a third time) Europeans should go to Feriduni for a nice hairline and forelock for 2000 FUE then fill up the rest over time with HST. 2000 FUE, 9 months later 2300 HST, 9 months later 2300HST, repeat a couple more times, etc etc. That would be the dream.

    Tbh I'm kind of disappointed most by the reply from Dr Coles clinic just because I felt he has the closest technique to gho due to his minimal depth FUE and Acell giving 54% regeneration in donor sites.

    He does comment on it somewhat in the Acell thread in one of the other sub forums. If I recall correctly he said something along the lines of it probably works to some extent but he cannot quantify that or comment on the it's level of effectiveness and/or consistency. I think he believes it may have some merit due to what he's seeing with his own FUE Acell studies. He's definitely one of the good guys with an open mind to innovative ideas in the field.

    I don't understand why all the doctors say there is no scientific evidence. All this is a mess. It's hard to believe that all these surgeons would be lying. Why would they not want to offer this, if it's real?

    They're right, there aren't any scientific studies! But the theory is there and the evidence so far shows promise! We can only get a scientific study if someone bothers to do one!! But they take time and cost money, so ultimately every surgeon just waits to see what happens!

    That's it really. It's too early to pass judgement. What does worry me is I have yet to really see numerous multis regrowing in the donor and why is Dean Saunders new hairline a nw 2.5/3 if he can get vastly expanded donor via HST? Only really impressive result is Sneijder's. They really seem to have hit it out of the park with that one.

    True but I figured Gho would have this evidence.
