ACell, a Current Review of Applications in Hair Transplant Surgery

[UK_]

"There is no scientific data to prove a single conclusion you allude to. There is no evidence that the plucked hairs grow back at the same diameter as they were in the donor area. There is absolutely no evidence what so ever that anything similar to autoclonning occurs. Dr. Cooley performed no survival studies so there is no evidence that the survival rate is 75%. You seem to have a great deal of difficulty connecting the dots. Read my lips...Dr. Cooley presented no data what so ever to indicate that even a single viable plucked hair grew in both the donor area and the recipient area. I have no idea what your agenda is, but your conclusions are simply a leap of logic or hallucination. We all want to believe hair plucking works including myself, but no one can draw scientific conclusions based on faulty studies. Now, if you want to pull the Dr. Cooley card on me, feel free to have him give me a call or debate me on a forum. We’re not enemies or competitors. We’re colleagues who are both interested in making lives better. I welcome evidence that refutes my position simply because it will improve the possibilities for all individuals with hair loss. If it does not pan out, however, the impact on the finite donor area would be deleterious. Don’t count me to be on the bridge of that ship. In other words, show me the science."

Dr Cole.

The above comment remains an accurate one.

I am glad Dr Cole was here to douse the uncontrollable wildfire of optimism regarding Acell/Autocloning.

[RichardDawkins]

When did Dr Cole said that?

Btw its funny that you keep on trying to destroy everything and you have been registered since february :-) always thos funny coincidences here.

Do you mean Dr Cole who stated that plucked hairs never grew back? While the whole female world struggles with unwante hair :-)

Do you mena that Dr Cole who after this expressions become very quiet and showed a picture with blood vessels after a FUE.

"Uncontrollable wildfire"? Thats ridicolous, can you tell me which clinic you represent here?

You know, i f i were you i would highly get rid of the idea, that one time Histogen will fix you :-) i think thats what you are after, the magic pill or injection.

So my advice is, that you should learn more about your hair, how its working, and how its growing and where the essential key points lay within it characteristics.

Plucked single hairs, seem to be smaller in diamater because THEY ARE SINGLE HAIRS and not a group of hairs coming out of one follicle.

Oh and i take and give this pvtpoint2000 guy definetly more credit because he said that almost all of the plucked hairs grew in his scar.

But hey thats ok stick with your opinions and its good, but dont quote docs here, when you yourself dont have any clue about hairs or how they work, thank you

Hi Richard,

As we progress we will modify what we do and how we approach it. Sorry people think the cup is half empty but it is really turning out to be half full. Progress is made with slow safe deliberate steps and that is what we are trying.
As much as it is exciting that we are duplicating hair all over with ACell, the hairline is not the appropriate site. We need to adjust for this. The good news is that the hair is duplicating, not that we need to modify the technique using ACell.
Keep the Faith

Also, plucked hairs do grow back!!!!
I proved this over 10 years ago in my original work.
When you pluck a large circular area in the donor region, it does not remain bald, but instead grows back fully. I have re-used these sites in more than one patient.
Talk with a female who tweezes her eyebrows.

Okay - IT WORKS - is that what you wanna hear?

Do you seriously think I DONT want this to work?

What's "learning about my hair" gonna do anyway? If yr genetically predisposed to AA thats it - no amount of protein propecia potion pills books an B vitamins are gonna help you - there is barely anything in the field right now - we're banking on a few horses and I doubt any will reach the finish line - so dont assume im sitting here gleefully awaiting Histogen to wipe away the scorn of my hair loss.

And what's wrong with quoting Dr Cole? I believe his comment was an accurate one, please silence me by proving me wrong, show me the science.

Dr Hitzig,

Could you update us on the 'eyebrow patient'? Have you performed the procedure yet? If hairlines are a problem, wouldn't eyebrows be as well?

Thanks.

By "AA" I meant Androgenic Alopecia not Alopecia Areata

Ok then if thats your opinion, then this is ok with me so to speak in your words "There wont be ever something that ill help us right?

I say even genetical predisposition can be altered to a benefit with the right ingridients.

Even Propecia can slow down hairloss and thats a stupid pill. And even Minox can slow it down and thats just "shampoo"

So why do you say that something drastical cant do something better?

Stem cells are still in baldie heads so give them a kickstart or something they can transform to and you got your result.

So explain to me WHY there is nothing and wont be nothing forever according to you? Where are your ideas based off?

I do seriously think that you dont want anything to work. If otherwise you wouldnt quote something, which says that plucked hairs dont grew back or have a smaller diameter.

So tell me one thing, you pluck a hair and insert it in the recipient area, now this exact same hair grows onger and cycles normal. HOW could this hair getting smaller in diameter if its the exact same plucked hair which grows longer like it would have in the donor area?

HOW is that even possible? How

What about damage to the hair follicle in both process and donor? Do you think out of say c2,000 plucked follicles that Acell will regenerate and repair damage to 100% of the plucked follicles to the exact specification of the preceding hair? On what clinical evidence can this assumption be made? You would need to check under a microscope every plucked hair for what damage has occured, if the hair/follicle has been damaged beyond the extent of it being a viable candidate in the recipient area - how can you rule out the impact that any damage will play in the scope of the natural regeneration of the follicle several months later in the donor region?

Nobody here is making assumptions regarding the patterns of growth/results of plucking hair but you, Dr Cole stated there is no evidence to suggest anything similar to the concept of autocloning works I or Dr Cole are not stating plucked hairs do not grow back, yet you cannot state that 100% of plucked hairs will grow back to the exact specification of the preceding hair. You also cannot state the diameter of that particular hair will be exactly the same, nor can I state that it will not be. You do not have that evidence, all that exists is anecdotal evidence in a handful of patients, that is not real solid scientific evidence per se. Yet all Dr Cole has stated, and all I have supported across the board of his statement is that the evidence does not exist. If you want to refute Dr Cole, please provide the evidence.... again... show me the science.

Until you can provide me with data on 20 - 100 patients in a controlled study I will support Dr Coles contention that no evidence exists to support the statement that this procedure works. There is still no evidence on a survival rate of 75% - if there is and I have missed this, please copy and paste it in your next post.

Ok ahm you gotta be kidding me right? There are millions of females who almost weekly pluck and epilept their legs, bikini zone and armpits and they still struggle with doing this until the end of their lifes. So its pretty pretty pretty obvious that plucked hairs come back.

Even people who suffer trichotillomania get their hair back after some time if they stop to pluck permanently, and what they do is far more extensive then pluck some hairs, let them grow back and pluck them again and use acell on donor side as well.

I think people who suffer from trichotillomania dont use acell but get their hair back also.

Ahm i belive that Dr Hitzig also stated that they have to carefully look if the follicles (plucked hairs) are usable.... but why am i repeating this to you.

Of course they have the same charateristics, have you ever plucked your eye brows or nose hair? Its coming back exactly the same way as you plucked it. Hair doesnt forget about its characteristics only because you pluck it

You should ask this pvtpoint2000 guy cause he also stated that the plucked hairs grow in his scar.

Why should i prove that it works? Why doesnt Dr Cole prove that it didnt work?

No i wont copy and paste anything, thats your job, i refrain from doing so and share my personal believings.
