| The famous scientist behind Hair
Multiplication procedure stunned the world this year with a
breakthrough in hair
transplant technique while everyone is anticipating for more updates
on his Hair Multiplication research. The world's
fascination with Hair Multiplication lies in the possibility that
this technique could theoretically end baldness for all for everyone
given that we can culture an endless supply of hair cells. |

Hair
Multiplication is a hair restoration procedure that
involves extracting hair follicle cells, culturing and
multiplying the extracted cells, and injecting the new hair cells
into balding areas.
HairSite
forums have been flooded with speculation that the announcement
of Dr. Gho's new hair transplant technique is a diversion from his
Hair Multiplication research. Some further speculated that Dr. Gho
might have given up his research on Hair Multiplication in light of
the recent news.
In a
telephone interview with HairSite in April 2002, Dr. Gho reassured
HairSite that the progress of Hair Multiplicaiton research is on
schedule and there is absolutely no diversion whatsoever. When asked
if he would still adhere to the prediction in our last interview
that HM will be available in 5 years, Dr. Gho confidently
replied in the affirmative, and added that it would be within
“four years now”.
Dr. Gho
indicated that technically speaking his clinic can roll out HM
commercially to the public today. However, the present protocol
would not be a very efficient model as the same results cannot
always be duplicated on every patient. Numerous HM sessions may be
necessary for one patient whereas only a few sessions are necessary
for another patient even though both patients have the same degree
of baldness. Recently, Dr. Gho has been working with a new U.S
protocol for Hair Multiplication and he is optimistic that this
will solve the consistency issue. This new protocol has been
designed to be suitable for release in the United States.
When asked if
HM is creating a new follicle or simply rejuvenating old or dormant
follicles, Dr. Gho chuckled: “that is not my concern at this
point, all I know is that it grows hair.” Dr. Gho explained that
there is a very complex process that governs hair growth in humans
as opposed to hair growth in mice. In his study, cultured hair cells
are injected into areas where there were once hair. It would require
a whole new research to evaluate scientifically and objectively
whether new follicles are being created or dormant follicles being
induced to grow hair in the process. That is not his priority at
this point.
As
for collaborating with other researchers recently making news in
HairSite, eg: BioAmide, Dr. Unger, Dr. Jahoda etc., Dr. Gho
indicated that he is fully aware of other researchers’ work.
However, he is not at liberty to divulge any information to the
public at the moment.
This
constitutes the first part of our telephone conversation.
What followed are strictly information pertaining to Dr.
Gho's new hair transplant technique - "Follicle
Transplantation."
