SOMEBODY??? 
@baldlatino34,
and @all out there:
I know the entire history behind Dr. Gho. In fact, I know what most of you guys know about him, or what ever happend in the past.
IF/WHETHER Dr. Ghoâs patented (and trademarked!) HM procedure works well or not, THAT is not the point!
Sorry, I have NO idea, whether it works well or not. I read carefully his patents, and YES, if Dr. Gho is doing so, as (well) described in his patents, YES normally it could(should) definitlly work. I canât find anything, WHY his technique shouldnât work. Thatâs all I can say.
But the point in general is (without thinking about Dr. Gho), to make 2 (or more) hairs from 1, YES, it has always been possible - but unfortunately WITHOUT the help of regenerative medizin (extra cellular matrix etc), such techniques didnât work always perfect. And here the point: WITH the usage of tissue engineering, combined with important growth factors, its seems to work fine. In fact, much better than ever before.
So you have to ask all those physicians or researchers, who current work with such techniques, like Dr. Hitzig, Dr. Jerry Cooley, Dr. Gho or Dr. Cole or ? âŠ, who know, or knows not, if it works or not.
Be assured - if a physician performs this technique RIGHT and very well, this sort/type of HM technique, has truly the potential to work very well, whitout any doubts.

Proof. Thatâs all we want.
No bulls*t pics of a few follicles or a small patch of hair with questionable lighting. If it works then there should not be any trouble producing examples of money-shot NW#6-to-NW#2 type transformations.

If Gho can produce 2 hairs from 1, i.e. regenerate the donor hair, then he could turn a NW6 into a full head of hair. He would be publishing evidence of such transformation, and he would even OFFERING this transformation for rich people.
As this is not happening, it is very clear to me, that Gho is not telling the truth, and keeps reinventing the same hype over and over again. But good for him, there will always be fools ready to believe in the donor regeneration, even when they wonât be able to verify if it happened or not, until they finally shave their heads and find the little white dots.
Believe it or not, but Gho doesnât offer the patient the opportunity to verify the donor regeneration.
» SOMEBODY??? 
I posted an independent study a few years back that verified Ghoâs claims of donor regrowth are accurate. Getting the partial follicles to grow consistently in the recipient area is the most difficult part of the procedure. Gho got around this by soaking the grafts in cell culture medium prior to implantation.
Donor regrowth is real and has been independently verified by an unbiased clinic. Gho has a written guarantee that most of the donor will grow back. All it would take is one patient to photo-document the before and after doing donor hair counts to show there is no regrowth, and Gho would be sued out of existence, and the Dutch government would revoke his medical license and suspend his ability to do research. Itâs one thing to make a verbal commitment or hype up results, but to repeatedly, and in all cases, not fulfill a written contract is something that could not last for long. And what could he possibly gain from such actions? He could probably make more money by offering standard FUE, as it is a cash cow these days and lots of people run toward it.
A friend from Holland told me Ghoâs work is often in the Dutch media, and Dutch celebrity Gerard Joling recently got HST. Thus, I searched for some photo documentation of the procedure. Here is what he looked like before the procedure:
http://www.newsflash2000.nl/images/2009-11/gerard_joling_kaal.jpg
LOL! He is not as bald as that picture makes him look. He shaved his head just before the procedure. You commonly seen him before this wearing a toupee. Here are photos of the procedure. The strip scar is from a previous procedure with a different clinic years ago.
Here is a photo a week or two after the most recent photo at the previous link:
http://www.tomlempers.com/images/photos/gerard_joling_bonnie_stclaire_and_tom_lempers.gif
Here is a video shortly after the procedure. If he desires more density, he will have to have more procedures after the donor heals. You canât reharvest the same follicles from the donor for about a year because, although the transected follicles immediately start regrowing hair after the procedure, it takes about a year before they fully reform.
Here is a video of him a year ago back in his toupee wearing days:
Hereâs some recent videos now that the hair has had a couple of months to grow out after the procedure. Note: HST often results in the hair not falling prior to regrowing. So in some cases, you can grow the new hair in like a crew cut and donât have to suffer through the transitory stage common with FUE.
Be sure to be realistic about expectations. This is the first evidence Iâve seen that Ghoâs HST results in dense recipient regrowth. Prior to this, Iâve been under the impression not much hair can be moved per session, and Iâve only seen cases similar to the following:
http://www.dewittevrouwenhof.nl/algemeen/layout_images/brochures/hsi_haarjournaal_08_uk.pdf
Someone should ask Gerard about all of this just to confirm. I canât guarantee that this work is from Gho. I donât speak Dutch. Itâs what Iâve been told by someone who lives in Holland. After I mentioned I would use Gho only for filler hair in the back, he told me there was no need to go elsewhere for the hairline work and cited Gerardâs result as an example, saying that Gho gets a lot of local media attention and does excellent work.
Iâm just passing this along. Itâs up to you to verify.

i think it isnât possible to harvest your donor hair that some of them stays in scalp and grow back. How they can see through the scalp skin and take out hair so that some of them stays in donor area? it just isnât possible!!! They need some kind of very tiny instruments and microscope which shows through the skin to do that. do they have those instruments? i donât believe so. btw⊠i think if they harvest half of your donor hair then both hair (hair what they took aout and hair what stayed in your donor area) are damaged and you donât see any growth in the future.
i think itâs just hype and they sell FUE hair transplant method lying to people that their donor hair grow back. itâs just money what they want from patients. they just sell HM words and offer common FUE to you and nothing else.

Not only proof but a lot of transparency, no more working in secrecy. It has to be like what Dr Jones did with Acell, tell us right away if it isnât worth waiting for.

Be realistic - would that make any sense for Ghoâs clinic in future?
The only âtrickâ behind that is, trying to accomplish what Dr. Gho is claiming: multiplying hair. Because that is the only way Docs like Dr. Gho can keep their patients, which need as much hair as they wish to have. If Docs are unable to do so, because there is not enough donor hair, they canât keep their patients - and as a result, they are unable to earn far more money from this patient, if this patient would like to have far more hair. So it would make no sense, just to sell âcommon FUEâ to a NW5 or higher patient just one time.
Hopefully in future there are far more docs out there, who are truly be able to offer and to accomplish such a âspecial FUE procedureâ.
@James Bond - Thanks for your input!

well, if you sell words HM and actually offering common FUE then you least fooled one patient more, got his for example 10 000$ and fcuk what happens next. then you fool another patient get his money then another etc. itâs just dead circle. he doesnât need to post bad results and no one knows what he is offering there. easy to sell HM words and fool NEW people who hasnât got any HT surgeries and who hasnât done any BIG research before surgery.
btw⊠if itâs true and he actually can do this HM thing then he probably has in heâs portfolio already tons of NW6 patients who has now full head of thick hair. show me them! donât show some stupid pics what actually doesnât show me anything.
I believe in Gho, for what iâve read online, he seems to be a serious professionist with a lot of pubblications. Also, he work with hairs, so he will have no reason to say bulls+it⊠risking to lose all the credibility and it means all the clients.
Who speak bad about him, proabably, are doctor, or people from them, who canât get the same results of him.
Maybe is a pioneer, and all the pioneer are called liars.

He he, here you already can find such a list of doctors, including with their signatures:

i never tried⊠so i cant give any suggestions
» So, Gho is capable of restoring to norwood 1 ?
» How much does it cost?
No. Absolutely not. This isnât true hair multiplication. It conserves the donor more than traditional HT. In addition, the donor canât be reharvested for about a year, and results will vary from patient to patient. I still need to see Ghoâs work with my own eyes to verify it. Like I said, itâs what Iâve been told by someone from Holland.
Due to the study I cited, Iâm certain that under the right conditions, the donor will partially regenerate. The study showed that about 70% of the harvested hairs regenerate. Gho claims to have gotten the percentage higher by transecting the follicles lengthwise as opposed to the old method of transecting them across.
» How they can see through the scalp skin and
» take out hair so that some of them stays in donor area? it just isnât
» possible!!!
Wrong. Itâs accomplished by using a very small needle that transects the follicles lengthwise leaving a portion in the scalp and a portion for the recipient area. Once again, regrowing the follicle in the donor is the easy part. The difficult part is getting the partially extracted follicles to regrow consistently in the recipient area. You must use a cell culture medium to accomplish this. Regular HT doctors do not have the specialized knowledge necessary to reproduce this process because they donât generally have biochemical engineering backgrounds. Furthermore, the process is patented and protected so that only Gho can use it.
The study I cited proves the donor regrowth. Iâm amazed people are still arguing about this aspect of Ghoâs procedure. The more difficult aspect to believe is that he is able to regenerate the partially harvested follicle. That is 1000x more technically difficult to achieve than regrowth of the donor portion of the follicle. Yet nobody seems to question this part of the procedure, and everybody continues to question the donor regrowth!
BTW, Ghoâs pioneering research is cited in numerous modern patents (including Aderans). Itâs not as if he is not a known research pioneer in the field of hair multiplication. Itâs just that most laymen canât understand science, so they write him off as a charletan. Other researchers are heavily ripping off Ghoâs patents. It will be interesting to see where it all ends up.

Find the study I posted here 2 or 3 years ago that proved donor regrowth at 70%.
Acell did not have scientific merit. Anyone who thought that was going to work is wishing for a miracle that will never occur.

Ironman:
Iâm positive Gho is able to accomplish some donor regrowth, but it is not a true 2 for 1 procedure. It is a donor conservative procedure. I suspect Gho has had a difficult time getting the procedure to be cosmetically proficient, and this has driven him to be a much smaller operator than he would otherwise be.
If the above patient is Ghoâs patient, it shows he might finally be getting the procedure up to speed cosmetically.
I donât recommend just rushing in though. As with any hair restoration surgeon, it is imperative you see former patients prior to getting a HT. As I said, I donât speak Dutch. I was told that this patient is Ghoâs patient and has freely talked about the procedure on Dutch television.
Smiles used to post here and knows all about this. I doubt he comes around here anymore though. Heâs probably too busy with his Internet businesses.
