In the world of hair transplants, many promises sound too good to be true. But when a technique is backed by peer-reviewed scientific studies published on PubMed, the story changes: it becomes about evidence, not marketing.
HST (Hair Stem Cell Transplantation), known scientifically as PL-FUT (Partial Longitudinal Follicular Unit Transplantation), is the only hair transplant technique based on hair multiplication and regeneration of the donor area. This approach, developed by Dr. Coen Gho, has been validated through publications indexed on PubMed, the world’s most authoritative medical database.
Why is PubMed important?
PubMed is the official archive of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. It includes only articles published in recognized scientific journals that undergo peer review. This means no advertising, no opinions – just verifiable results.
When a technique is listed on PubMed:
- It follows a scientific methodology.
- It has been evaluated by the medical community.
- It can be replicated or compared to other techniques.
Key Publications on HST (PL-FUT)
Here is a selection of key studies conducted by Dr. Gho and his collaborators, all available on PubMed:
- “Hair multiplication by transplantation of follicular stem cells: theoretical considerations and practical evidence”
Author: Coen G. Gho – Journal of Dermatological Treatment (2004)
PMID: 15739600
This article first describes how partial follicular unit extraction allows hair to regenerate in both the donor and recipient areas. This forms the scientific foundation of the HST technique. - “Donor hair follicle preservation by partial follicular unit extraction”
Author: Gho C.G. – Journal of Dermatological Treatment (2005)
PMID: 16223463
A clinical study showing that even after partial follicle extraction, hair regrows in the donor area, supported by before-and-after comparisons. - “Partial longitudinal follicular unit transplantation: A regenerative hair restoration method”
Author: Gho C. – International Journal of Trichology (2015)
PMID: 27386449
This paper introduces the term PL-FUT, describing it as a regenerative alternative to FUE and FUT, and highlights the possibility of repeating the procedure without exhausting the donor supply.
What Do These Studies Prove?
- The donor area can regenerate when grafts are extracted correctly (longitudinal and partial).
- Transplanted hairs grow normally in the recipient area.
- Patients retain the option for future procedures – a major advantage over FUE or FUT.
The Role of Dr. Gho
Dr. Coen Gho is a Dutch physician and researcher with expertise in regenerative medicine, stem cells, and transplantation. He founded the Hair Science Institute and authored multiple peer-reviewed publications. His technique is not a trend, but a scientifically documented evolution in hair restoration.
Conclusion: Why Trust HST (PL-FUT)
Those who choose HST are not opting for an experimental technique but a medically documented and scientifically supported method. The real difference compared to conventional techniques is not just cosmetic – it’s biological: regenerate, not deplete.
