Can I use body hair first before using head hair?

» You need to get your facts straight about this one ok.
» 1. I was involved in BHT well before your doctor came out… Proof? Dr.

» 2. The doctor I work for now is experienced with BHT also. Please keep

» 3. I am curious of how you take grafts with the hyperdermic needle also.
» I think it is interesting.
» 4. This is an open forum of discussion. Different
» techniques/technicians/doctors who provide good work and results.

I based my comments on the results/surgeries I have seen online from your present clinic.

Yes, Dr. Cole has been doing BHT. But then again, you do not work for him right now. Do you? Please read my posts carefully. That will save time.

Dr. A has been doing HTs since 1997.
We have more results, even with bht, than many of some clinic’s total number of BHT attempts.

Your random comments and the pictures you have posted lately do not inspire much faith in their genuinity.

I have nothing against you. I dont even know you. And before today I didnt even reply to you.
So, believe it, I am replying to you because you are posting a lot of inaccurate information, maybe in good faith and unwittingly, but inaccurate nonetheless.

I’m innaccurate about stating my opinions about BHT on a 23 year old as a first line hair transplant… Um no my opinion still stands.

Let us both continue to post our own clinical findings… I have not even commented on any of your clinics growth or poor technique. Do you realize that? I wait… clooect information you post… make a judgment call based on my experiences and that in my opinion.

I don’t wish to argue any longer. I wish to continue the quest for better techniques in hairloss. I like BHT. I love FUE. I have opinions of both.

I don’t understand. In general, are you talking about Dr. Cole or Dr. Harris in your posts? You kind of switch back and forth between promoting your current clinic, Dr. Harris, but then you refer to all of your experience with Dr. Cole. Or are you talking about your experiences with Dr. Harris? Or all of the clinics you have worked for in the past couple years? Not this post in particular, but in general, what clinic(s) are you talking about?

Maybe a signature would help the confusion?

This is going to be an incredibly stupid thing to say but life would have been so much simpler if a PLUCKED hair from the scalp or body could be used in a HTP rather then lethal strip surgery or FUE. No white dots,no trauma to the donor area,quicker recovery of the donor area & you would have an endless supply of donor hair.You could obtain an entire head of hair in no time & follow up procedures would be as simple as going out & buying groceries.
That would have been awesome.

Ive wondered about something like this many times myself. Stem cells should be left behind, and perhaps the plucked hair could be placed. I wonder if anyone has ever tried it…

Dam,

I did not see your question earlier. There was a doctor that did that exclusively… Dr. Gho. A pluck master. He was stating that plucking was all you needed and he plucked and plucked beard hairs and transplanted them. He was also one of the first to head up hair multiplication but I don’t know what ever happened to him.

I suspect… excuse me I know that plucking and planting grafts has an extremely low yield and unpredictable results… period. Good concept except there are so many intricate parts to a follicle… and especially at the time of the pluck… you may get all of the good parts and 7 times out of ten… you will just pluck a shaft.

good stuff hairtech.

we were wondering if enough of the stemcell population would be left behind to grow a hair in the donor area again, and the plucked hair having enough cellular material to produce a recipeint area hair.

Gho is still active. http://www.ghoclinic.com/

However, his results page, http://www.naturalclinic.nl/eng/patientpictures.htm
and
http://www.naturalclinic.nl/eng/results2.htm

just is not inspiring enough to get me personally to bite. There are a couple of very good results in there though. However, where are the regrown donor area pictures?

There is another problem I see…one would be getting alot of single hair units in the recipient area and no two’s or three’s. It might be kinda thinnish.

Nevertheless, as JB has pointed out…Gho showed this was possible and was probably the catalyst for larger more well funded organizations to attempt it.

Fastforward,

If you can’t take oral meds like propecia doesn’t mean that a hair transplant is the next solution or the next step. And any clinics in my opinion that have suggested it is, or encouraged you are wrong and not looking out for you. Take a deep breathe and wait before you do anything that could have serious consequences. At 23 and only small hair loss and with your father’s hair loss you really need to wait before going down the surgery route.

Good luck!

What are you talking about hair tech? I never heard that Dr. Gho evrr plucked hair.
He may have his theories that worked or did not, but I never heard this plucking thing from even his past patients. Please do not spread false info.

Good afternoon Dr. Ruby. Dr. Gho did do some experimentation with plucking beard hairs and seeing if it would grow. He got minimal growth. It is a fact. I do not lie. Thank you for your comments.
