Dear Dr. Gho
Forum
| 1. |
Can you please give us a
realistic timeframe ? When do you think HM will be available
? |
| 2. |
Many of our forum participants have been waiting for
years. Would it be possible to have a preferred waiting list for
some of our forum participants so that we can be among the first
to have the HM procedure done ? |
| 3. |
Will HM create new follicles in donor area scars that resulted from traditional hair transplantation
? |
| 4. |
Will you make the HM procedure available in selected
cities in the Netherlands before it becomes available to the mass
market ? |
| 5. |
What kind of density can be achieved, in hairs/cm2 ?
Can a second HM procedure give a greater density ? |
| 6. |
Do we still need traditional surgical hair
transplant to complement the results after the HM procedure has
been performed ? |
| 7. |
Any limitations and issues regarding direction of
hair growth ? |
| 8. |
Can the HM procedure be performed on women ? |
| 9. |
For those of us with diffuse thinning in the horseshoe pattern only (not over the entire scalp) will HM have an adverse effect on
hair currently being produced? Will it cause these miniaturized follicles to grow better quality hair in addition to stimulating
dormant follicles to regrow hair? |
| 10. |
What are some of the potential side effects ? Cancer
risks, tumors, and hair fallout etc ? |
| 11. |
What would be the average cost for someone who is a
Norwood class 3, class 4, class 5, class 6 or class 7 ? |
| 12. |
Will the HM procedure produce scarring ? |
| 13. |
In technical detail how will the procedure work for people who have almost all their hair but severe hair and follicle shrinkage?
Will it be easier treated? |
| 14. |
Can the hair cells be injected with some kind of
biodegradable gel to reduce migration and increase the length of time
they remain in the skin to promote better hair growth and density? |
| 15. |
What is the success rate of HM ? Does it work for
everyone ? Who would be the best candidates ? |
| 16. |
What hair quality can we expect ? Same as our normal
growing hair ? |
| 17. |
How long does it take to perform the different steps of the procedure? (Culturing cells, implanting them in the scalp, waiting
for hair follicles to grow etc). Also, how long does it take from the time when the first
hair cell to be cultured are taken from non-balding hair
follicles, until you have normal, hair-producing hair follicles in the scalp where the multiplied cells have been injected? |
| 18. |
How many visits would be needed to apply HM for
someone who is a Norwood class 7 ? |
| 19. |
Can the follicle harvesting be done here in the US by an accredited lab and
the follicles shipped to Holland for culturing, thus eliminating the need for
two separate trips? |
| 20. |
Can HM procedure be performed on alopecia
areata patients ? |
If we left out anything that should be included in this list,
please
