NHI results from Acell studies

NHI ACell Update?
June 27 2011, 2:58 pm PT | Posted in: ACell

Dear Dr. Rassman

You posted on the 5th Nov 2010 that NHI was conducting a study using Acell for hair multiplication. As we are now half way through 2011 I am wondering if you have any updates in regards to the results you’ve experience so far. I’ve heard stuff from Dr. Cooley and Dr. Cole but nothing from yourself so far.

I look forward to your answer.

Regards

I have seen most of the half dozen people that I performed ACell plucking procedures. They averaged 200-300 plucked grafts. Although there was some growth from the plucked hairs, there was just as much growth in the control group as in the ACell treated group. I would conclude from this that I have not replicated the results reported by others.

With regard to the large number of patients where I used ACell in the wounds of strip surgeries, I have seen some value, although I have not called them all back to evaluate their wounds.

For hair multiplication, I am not considering performing more of these procedures until I view the results of others at the upcoming ISHRS meeting in Anchorage, Alaska this September

like a baby this guy. and i was right he is an asshat and plucked hairs work.

I bet he is gonna wait to get a drift on how to make it easier for hem or in other words "Just copy the others for less labor time"

Who agrees with me

[wolvie1985]

Dr. Rassman never consulted Dr. Cooley before starting his research. Dr. Cooley had poor results over the first year of his experiment as well, only to find his own techniques to improve his results over time. Dr. Rassman would have done well to consult his peers, but egos do get in the way.

It's a shame Dr. Rassman will likely dampen the enthusiasm for autocloning by using antiquated and uninformed techniques. He will likely blame the product rather than the hands that use it.

Stick with Dr. Cooley. He knows what he's doing and he's honest to a fault.

[RichardDawkins]

As i said Rassman is the biggest douche in the field he has an Ego which is unbearable.

People can say about Cole what they want, at least he apologized to the hair loss community for his first enraged dismiss of regenerative ideas

[Mojo Risin]

Rassman is a ****ing idiot.

[UK_]

Okay so the Acell didnt hit the mark [in this case] but it's good to hear even SOME regrowth from plucked hairs.

[RichardDawkins]

Hey UK_ do you really believe Rassman would admit Acell to work, this guy is pissed, really pissed because other people were faster and smarter then him again.

He is an idiot and no one will deny this, i can tell you exactly what will happen.

Rassman will do plucking anyhow and then in september if his results are not that good he will ask cooley and hitzig in front of others to make sure that they cant jiggle away.

They will of course tell him how they did it and then Rassman will claim this for himself and charge utopical prices for that, unless you o there for a hair tattoo of course.

You can look at hair site at my thread about being pro active i predicted this kind of stuff and what we have to do to establish a new standrd in hair transplant surgery.

But with this answer, Rassman disqualified himself for me as a surgeon i would go to, for the easy reason because he got hair growth and success with plucked hairs but is not pursuing this anymore. So its clear to me he is a money grabbing asshole who doesnt care about his patients.

[Follicle Death Row]

Rassman will be like "plucked hair has questionable merit...How about I tattoo your head instead...It's way better anyway."

This is like FUE all over again. He'll say it has no merit then get Dr. Cooley to show him and then go "Huzzah...I have invented Regenerative Tweezer Follicular Unit Extraction. The technique is mine, mine I tells ya."

[UK_]

@Richard - to be honest, from reading Rassman's response, it doesn't seem as though he has put much effort into his plucking procedure:

"oh well errr... yes err.... I had a quick look at the half dozen of my patients and saw some regrowth but errr.... TATTOOOOOO!!!!!!! TATTOOOOOO!!!!!"

....I admit people give Rassman far too much praise, and after all this time all he yielded was scalp pigmentation. He plays down all the new developments and his "realest" responses to questions are starting to seem like the annoying disposition of an irritating neg head.

There are far too many developments in the field of bio-medicine bio-tech etc for us to be lumped with scalp pigmentation/FUE and accept the holy grail as an impossible dream; who 100 years ago could have predicted the internet? Search engines? Social Networking? Email? Mobile Phones that can scan for STD's ffs nobody can write off the cure.

[Mojo Risin]

It's people like Rassman who stop people from making progress. This guy is so simple minded. Sometimes I'm disgusted by the type of answers he gives in his blog.

[RichardDawkins]

Yes i agree with you here, he did it half ass, saw it works bt want everything to as UK said claim ITS MINE.

Of course Rassman is responsible for blocking progress, i mean come on NO surgeon who has at least a half function brain or moral, would offer hair tattos.

My bet is, a few years down the road Rassman will only offer tattoos because they are less labor inteniv, people are stupid anyway and it certainly doesnt cost him a dime.

Exactly it almost seems like, h knows that he is old and cant be in this field for 10 more years, so why bothering to help patients when you can milk them and then say adios.

in my opinion Rassman should be a guest on the black list seriously; for blocking advances etc and unethical behaviour, also i didnt saw any good results lately. What happened? Was he running out of ink.

@UK_ : The more and mre advancement takes place, the more you can see which clinics or docs are on patients sides and imho its scary to see which ons are and which ones not because a few months ago people were praising those exactly clinics, while hating on those who are now investigating the stuff or apologize for thei first harsh criticism.

I think that this problem should be adressed in one of Spencers Shows as well, i mean even he (i dont care how he is involved with anything) sees this stuff

I think you guys should lay off Rassman. His blog has given me and countless others peace of mind over the years.

I don't give a **** about his motives but I don't believe they are evil motives. As his job is to do HTs it's hardly surprising that he is choosing to do something that turns him a dollar and supports his business and puts the food on his plate.

Any chance you can tell us what you guys do for a living? How would you like to be publicly abused - what are your real names. Have you guys made more people feel better about hairless then Rassman has throughout his career. Didn't think so.

The annoying thing about all of this is that some of what you say is probably true. Rassman does talk up propecia and minoxidal and HT and now tattooing - but those pics really do make balding guys like us look better. Well sadly not guys like all of us because I'm blonde. The things is he is playing a part in this game and it's better he's here then not here - all the successful pics on his site... Those people have better lives now right.*

The fact is that name calling just lowers the bar and makes this whole forum less desirable. I was thinking how cool it would be if Corbin blocked swear words just in an attempt to make this a more neutral environment.*

That said. I totally dig you guys and respect you both ad your input and knowledge also provides me hope - loved the list of possible cures!!*

I just know what it's like to be publicly slandered when you're actually not really one of the true bad guys....

Your government spends billions on bombs. Why haven't they cured it yet. Your governments FDA is screwing us over. Companies are trying to sue Histogen and that truly slows down a cure - want to attack somebodies character online? Find out the rotten sods who tried to sue histogen. Make their names dirty. Find out why propecia haven't improved propecia or refined it with their BILLION dollar bank accounts.*

There are some people out there that deserve your wrath more then Rassman... But they never seem to be put on the spot.

Here's to histogen and aderans and a full head of hair again.

Peace.

No what you say is just appeasement BS nothing more and nothing less. White Knighting someone who saw growth with plucked hairs but doesnt wanna do this anymore is ridiculous and it shows that your are pretty much a victim here because you support this unsocial asshole behaviour.

As someone here said its guys like rassman who put a stop on progress and also guys like you who cry about people who openly discuss this miserable unsociale actings from a surgeon. Its odd when even other clinics listen to their patients and go this way and apologize. So i have no respect for rassman.

Rassmans Blog let people sleep well? Ridiculous his Blog is the Blog i would call over the top wrong and misleading, the comments below his ttements are much more educated then his rumblings. Even patients from him sometimes say " Ahhh Dr Rassman what you say is absolutely not correct"

And dont come here with the honest work Bullshit, because you are on of his paid of shills or omething. If you dont realise it till today

ITS OUR HEAD AND WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT NOT RASSMAN ITS OUR HEAD

so dont come here with your white knight honest work crap while Rassman is topping progress, there is no excuse for stopping progress. And Rassman did stuff like that in the past if we can believe people.

Who cares what i do for living, it has certainly nothing to do with hair loss or with another clinic if you paid shill assume this.

I certainly have not made people feel worser with their hair, but i heared some nice stories about Rassman and his "well done work" so again what has our profession to do with it? NOTHING, you only want to play the obivous things down, thats it, because you fear that maybe your money spender wont have any money to spend.

You see assumptions are pretty fine, right.

SOME of what we sa is right? You serious, almost everything is right here, this guy had success with plucked hairs and he stopped it because he is a childish asshat. Wow w totally have to respect this guy after those statements. So spare us with your appeasement here, this time it wont work because Rassman is knwoingly IGNORING something which could help us all. So when you support Rassman here, you betray the whole hair loss community on the other hand. Its simple as that.

No its not better that he is here because what is the usefullness of omeone who doesnt get further because his ego is blocking the way? Correct nothing, also i didnt sw any results lately, speaks volumes.

Cry me a river with your " All those people are living better now" bullshit. This is just plain ignorance, whats with the people who got plucked hairs to grow by others nd an intact donor left? THOSE guys are happy, the others are caught in a mill end of story.

No no nono this is a common tactic by shills to say " Ohhh with those name giving this forum will go down in bla bla bla" this is Bullshit, this forum here lives because if you have the prove or stuff you can say words like scam etcwithout censorship etc.

And Rassmans behaviour is an asshole behaviour becaue it costs us precious time again only because his ego is blocking the way.

Yeah right swear words blocking like at hair site? We all know how that turned out, worse. And i would appreciate if a paid shill who only comes up to pla white knight, would just leave.

Oh come on now ou play the goverment and bombs card, are you serious? Rassman is the bad guy in this case, there is no doubt about it. In this case he simply is, UK and i dont normally agree but here even with different understandings we come to the same obvious conclusion, he is tha bad guy in this case.

Histogen won the case because of the invention and the obvious facts, get yours straight. The FDA is screwing over? Believe me they will push the envelope on hose treatments like Speed of Light because they also know what depends on it.

But it just doesnt matter WE SOLEL TALK ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC CASE and in this case Rassman is the bad guy. get over it
