This is why I am hoping that Cooley and Hitzig will have more good news about autocloning using Acell. MJ, I swear it wasn’t that long ago when you made a post saying that you were so thrilled with the Armani hair transplant, was it you or maybe I confused you with another poster?

I agree with you in that my case has been a lifetime of surgery dating back to 1986. As for the GQ ad, - Well do not believe everything you read. Again See as many people in person as you can with different norwood scales of baldness who have had the surgeries and then judge for yourself. I agree also if you are not up for several operations then do nothing.

Dear Dr. Arvind,

There’re always a plenty of people out there who are interested in body hair transplants (BHT), but simultaneously they are always concerned about BHT.

Recently, Dr. Cole mentioned the following concerning BHT:

Dr. Cole: “Body hair has taught me to be careful with any predictions with regard to new treatment modalities. My single criticism of Dr Woods is that he practiced body hair transplantation for many years, but did not reveal that the results were not consistent. Such a revelation would have been important information to both physicians and patients.
His failure to report this was negligent in my opinion. If he has a method, which I cannot imagine, that results in consistent yields from body hair, then he has an obligation to present such a method. My first body hair transplants were a great success, but some follow up transplants resulted I poor yields and a poor coverage.”

Anyway, there’re also a plenty of people who claim that you’re a skilled body hair transplant doctor as well – and actually, I have no doubts about that. But I think the same here: Where are your revelations concerning BHT?

Concerning HST …

HST is a scientifically proven HT technique and has found its place in the medical literature:

But besides that, and what’s actually more important, Dr. Gho’s clinics work along ISO 9001:2000 guidelines, and since 2005, they always work under the supervision of the inspection of the health organization in their country; and neither they, nor Gho’s patients, reported ever any complaints. Zero.

And now, please let me ask you one simply question:

I’m pretty sure, that you have no problems to obtain such 0.5 and/or 0.6 hollow-needles, as described in Dr. Gho’s study. So do you really think, that HS readers or an average skilled person is thinking, that an experienced and skilled physician like you is unable to check FOR HIMSELF, as well as within a few minutes + 1-2 weeks, whether or not something is growing back (including the same hair characteristics) or not, IF someone like you is removing FU’s in such a (simple) way, as described in Dr. Gho’s study?

Have a nice weekend, Dr Arvind.

p.s. CONGRATS, Dr. Arvind!

Congrats Dr Arvind, I didn’t see that earlier, I think you deserve it. Although I don’t think you had any competition there, I think you are nonetheless one of the very few leading hair transplant surgeons we have today.
