Went to see Dr Raghu Reddy this evening guys, for a consultation........
Man, London is busy, nice warm day, packed full of tourists, walked from Waterloo to Westminster, London's a great City, so many pretty girls everywhere too.......was thinking to myself, why can't I just get someone like her (to every pretty girl I saw), maybe if I grew some balls I could find someone I'd be happy with............anyway, onto the consultation............
Pretty much just a chat really, on reflection I thought there would be more of a study of my hair, to check for things like minaturisation, I would have thought you would need to look closely for this? He did put a microscope type thing up against my donor region and showed me the density on screen though, maybe he could tell if there was minaturisation with that?
Basically he thinks I only have 1500 grafts worth of donor hair, which when I am a NW6 is obviously not good lol. I was hoping he would say at least 3000. But I am not shocked as I was going into the consultation open minded, not really knowing what donor I had available.
He did mention SMP before I was going to mention it.......he said he recommends it, he agreed with me that hairlines don't look natural with SMP and that he would be happy to give me 1500 grafts into the hairline and then have SMP to do most of the work.......this is just a consideration for me, something I really need to think about, I am definitely not jumping at getting it done, I am very cautious. The only good thing about only having 1500 grafts available is the cost of getting all this done is going to be a lot cheaper than I envisaged although I am not going to get what I had hoped.
I did mention Pilofocus to him, he hadn't heard of it. He seemed reluctant on bringing anything new into his clinic but you never know, if it's easy to implement and clearly a step forward then I am sure he will definitely consider it.
I guess overall Pilofocus is very crucial for me in terms of regeneration if I want to get a good coverage of hair. Ideally I need regeneration to be at least 60% otherwise I think it is game over for me......for a long while, until something finally helps me out.
Depending on the news Dr Wesley brings us in October will make me decide whether I get Pilofocus, get 1500 FUE +SMP, or I just think feck it - I will stay bald.
How does Dr. Wesley's Scarless Pilofocus work?

What!?I can tell you right now that you're wrong if you think what's holding you back is your lack of hair.
Get fit, hit the gym, take up some hobbies, work on yourself in general while earning decent money and you will have a far greater chance of getting a women while bald than you would as you are now with a full head of hair.
Thats the bald truth.
I am pretty fit, I have hit the gym, yeah, you can always get fitter and bulkier, yeah I could put on some henchness cos I am not particularly muscley, I don't earn decent money and very likely never will, please don't tell me I can earn good money, no I can't, unfortunately I am not as intelligent and confident as others.
Yes, hair is holding me back, I think I know what is holding me back, also yeah you are right.....my job is also something that is holding me back too because.....
Bald head + shit job = I am ****ed.
Yes, I could try to push myself to go out there and find someone but my confidence because of hair IS holding me back + I am 100% certain it has stopped girls approaching me. When I had hair they were coming to me......pretty regularly at one point over a few years. Now....nothing......although I am not exactly meeting as many people as I did then, In fact I don't meet many woman, job is full of men, housemates, all men, rarely go out drinking.
I am going to try to push myself more to get on with it and do something about it, but I am going to find it hard as my hairloss HAS held me back.Leave a comment:

Money wise theres not much you can do in north america, its very regulated so working the system isnt easy unless you become your own boss. Most business fail.
Gaining weight and muscle isnt possible for everyone either. I've got an extremely fast metabolism... doesnt matter what I do or eat, I can't bulk up.Leave a comment:

Well put brah... That's totally true. I workout like a beast and generally speaking it compensates the situation... Also work on your personality and financial indepence and you'll get a decent formula against baldness...I can tell you right now that you're wrong if you think what's holding you back is your lack of hair.

It is a pain but if there is regen I would wait, or get some light coverage with Gho in the meantimeEverything sounds great.......but I really fear for me on a timescale of when this will be available, with trials still to do, training and implementation, then what will the waiting list be like......will the price be reasonable....etc.....
Could be 1-2 years before I can get this.
I am thinking of possibly saying feck-it I can't wait that long, and that I should just get standard FUE as I can get that within 2 months, but then I'll only be able to extract 3000-4000 hairs and that will be it, the rest will have to be SMP.......Although, in the future, if regeneration is like 80%+ with Pilofocus, I may be able to top up my head with it. But it would have to be at least 80% regen.
Everyone my age right now is getting married, having kids, I am being left behind because of this disease.

Jackpot.
Just like Aderans, Replicel, Histogen and especially Follica have kept very quiet about all their findings. Shit, even Dr. Roland Lauster has been very quiet even since he's basically found the holy grail.... FOR THREE YEARS.
Octoboer and the months following, however, will be very interesting months for us.Leave a comment:

have you ever considered the fact that Dr. Wesley isn't allowed to say much in that aspect? and that he isn't going to go around advertising it until he knows what the rate can be consistently?Leave a comment:

Hi Joker, I would imagine that Dr. Wesley Doesn't really want this discussed right now. All I can tell you is this, What Spencer Kobren had said on the live show About the regenerative aspect of the treatment, I'm in 100% agreement. Maybe I shouldn't say anymore about that particular topic~ LOLLeave a comment:

And as always Artista, thanks for being attentive to this thread and keeping us updated.Leave a comment:

Not to belabor the point, but I guess what I'm saying is I don't know how there is even anecdotal evidence if he hasn't tested it yet.Leave a comment:

Hey guys keep in mind that The donor regeneration I have witnessed, Which is the same thing that Spencer had witnessed From the very same PowerPoint presentation Is still very much anecdotal. We have said that all along. I have also said that donor regeneration was never Dr. Wesley's main focus. Scarless FUE done in a new and innovative way IS His main focus. One that may give you The same volume if not more As an FUT surgery would WITHOUT Strip scarring...I'm not trying to minimize the idea of regeneration/regrowth of the donor area. The type of treatment he's doing for the donor area is still In it's study phase. The doctor is only going to discuss what he feels comfortable in discussing,, Just like anybody else. That's where I come into the picture. If Dr. Wesley were to Schedule me for the beginning of next year, It would not shock me. Most everything hinges on the FDA as you know. That can change the timeframe in anything planned.. No worries My friends. I saw what I saw presented to me And so did Spencer Kobren Along with a handful of doctors As I was told...Leave a comment:
