ACell, a Current Review of Applications in Hair Transplant Surgery

[wolvie1985]

UK, please stop wasting our time with this "where is the controlled study science" nonsense. Yes, in a perfect world, Dr Cooley would have the millions of dollars in funding for such experiments like Merck and Pfizer does. But he doesn't. All he has is his observations and his word, which, based on his years of stellar reputation, we should all trust implicitly.

By your rationale, most hair transplant techniques should not be taken seriously either. You think there is "science" up to your standards for any other hair transplant procedures? You think there's double-blind controlled "science" behind tricho closures, certain FUE/FUT methods or the like? NO. There are only HT doctors across the world who share their knowledge and experiences and try to improve on them. What you and Dr. Cole are trying to do, I believe, with the greatest respect, is slow down the rate of progress and enthusiasm involved with plucking as it's only a matter of time before it becomes the new standard. Dr. Cole spent years and years to perfect his FUE technique, only to have it replaced by this new easier, less invasive system that provides for unlimited donor. In a way, I feel for him. But not so much after his blatant attempts to quash progress in the field to the benefit of his pocketbook and the expense of prospective patients.
