    HST by Hair Science Institute - final proof

    There is a guy named gc83uk on HS who went to Gho and had his 2nd procedure done.

    Results look very good and I encourage you to check it out for yourself


    There is no scarr and donor seems to be regenerating


    WHt you think abt HST as a new gold standard in hair restoration?


    I know HRN still favours strip/FUT and call it gold standard

    I find it sad that HT docs are so reluctant to admit that there are better techniques out there that actually work


    Rmbr FUE by Dr Woods was laughed at first more than a decade ago

    Re: HST by Hair Science Institute - final proof

    Well, now I think it actually works too, I am pretty much convinced. I have seen those posts by that guy on HRN also and have been following all the Gho threads. I will say to the naysayers that Gho went through the "peer review" process in order to get his HSC patent. If he was a scam, he would not have gone through that.

    Also, IMO, there really are only a few naysayers on HRN that continuously post negative posts about Gho (ie - SpanishDude). AFAIK, SpanishDude works for one of Gho's competitors, and TBH, I see right through SpanishDude. I think he is full of BS and he knows he's wrong about Gho. But still, he presss on and never lets up. IDK why

    I guess, like you said, in the beginning the HT community laughed at Woods' FUE technique. IMO, the HT community is scared of Gho, because they know that Gho may become the new "gold standard" as you say, and they will have to pay him royalties to use his procedure (BTW, Gho is now offering this option to his competitors!!!)

    The thing that sucks about Gho is that he only does really small procedures, like < 2000 grafts.

    The other thing is that if you look at the before and after pics on his site, most the his patients still have really thin and wispy see-through hair. Why is this? Why doesn't he have like NW6's that wind up with thick, lush NW1's?

    Also, although it seems that he now is getting up to par with the world's state of the art HT techniques, I think Gho's own HT skills are lacking. But, from what I gather, he has recruited some decent top-notch HT surgeons to work for him. But still, they are unproven, as far as them effectively using his HST procedure to produce top-notch results. Not to mention that most of these HT surgeons now working for him are no names, and unproven in general.

    Before I go to him, I want to see his clinics turn out just as I said above: NW6 (or 7) ==> thick, lush NW1.

    Maybe we will see them ... in due time perhaps?

    But I am waiting to see that kind of evidence, or as far as I'm concerned, it is still possible that it really does not work the way he claims. (90% donor regenration rate). I know the Dutch court has ruled in Gho's favor on the recent class action against him. And he now has a patent for his HSC procedure.

    But, IMO, that doesn't change anything (for me).

    Other concerns that I have about his procedure:

    1) Provided the donor does regenerate like he claims, how do we know that it will survive? What if it grows back in only to permanently fall out after one (or x numbers of) hair cycle(s)?

    2) Same as above ^ but with the implanted hair in the recipient region.

    3) Since apparently he IS using some sort of proprietary stem cell treatment on his patients, has it been thoroughly checked for safety, as far as long-term cancer?

    4) What if ... Gho deliberately only does small procedures so that nodody will really be able to tell if his procedure works or not, as far as producing hardcore NW7 => NW1 evidence? (Suppose that by the time people finally figure out that Gho truly is all smoke and mirrors and just a scam, he will be retired ... just saying )

    I am willing to take a gamble on #3 I listed above, but I still want to see Gho put out the kind of results I mentioned, or I am going to pass on him.

    I guess only time will tell. But still, I am tempted to have a procedure done with Gho anyways.
    Nothing in particular.

    Dudemon, that’s a pretty nice analysis you have made. I agree with everything you wrote. I also believe that Gho’s technique is very promising, but we need to wait some time (maybe a couple of years) in order to be sure for it (for all the reasons you mentioned too).
    Past NW6, now NW2 with 6.217 grafts at DHI (minox 2ml/day + Spirolactone + fungoral 1/week)

    This thread is highly lacking in proof.

    Strip is a fraud solution, a horrible invasive waste of time and money

    FUE if done right can be a patch job at best

    this, I don't know......

    Not sure about the OP's claims, but the info I posted above is the result of my own research on Gho, which I have gathered from reading through countless threads on several HT websites, as well as Gho's own site. However, I didn't keep track of the ones I read, and there would be too many to post links to. But there are a gazillion threads on Gho on HRN, hairsite, *********, and hairlosshelp, as well as a few older ones on this site.
    Nothing in particular.

    Wow I would definitely get in on a treatment that could fill out my existing nw3ish hair line without giving me a donor scar or making me look like I got shot in the head with shot gun pellets.
