    I really am trying to stay cautiously optimistic with this technique..I don't want to start assuming things and think that it's gonna be a game changer when we already have a "scarless" procedure, HST, that has (some) donor regeneration...whatever that number may be (I guess 50-80%)

      Hey there Fear the Loss, I can unequivocally say to you that Dr Wesley's new Pilofocus FUE method is NOTHING like the current 'scar-less' procedures that you are aware of to date. When Dr Wesley had shared with me the actual PowerPoint presentation along with many photos/documents , was shown his innovative instrumentation , I was blown away by it. I would have never expected to see what I saw that day. As Spencer has said before , Dr Wesley will share this technique with other Doctors

        Well I wish I were you and got to see it, this sucks waiting until October to know if this is something that may or may not impress me....

        but thanks for the information Artista!

          I mean it will be cool to see this technique and how it's scarless and what not, but there are numerous doctors now around the world that are documenting donor regeneration (Gho, Cole, Mousseigne) ...I feel like anything that isn't regeneration isn't that big of a deal..

            I understand what your saying Fear' ..I wish I could share more of what I know of all of this . I promised Dr Wesley that I would not be too descriptive here on the forum . (Legal reasons) He does have an innovative treatment that is very good to offer us soon. You'll be surprised that this wasn't thought of long before,,as Spencer said

              As of now there is only one doctor performing a truly scarless procedure and that is Dr. Gho, and to date I have yet to see a good result from Dr. Gho. He may or may not be achieving 85% regeneration, but the ultimate judge of a HT is the recipient results and if you look at Dr. Gho's own website his results are severely lacking. Dr. Wesley has been achieving good results for a long time so if he can achieve the same results in the recipient area with no scarring then I would definitely say it is a game changer.

                How much will the procedure cost Artista?

                  I'm sure an estimated price per graft would be something a lot of people would love to know.

                    people why we say with the posibility of regen?

                    if this unique device has ultrasound viewing of the folicle root why not to also be able to extract only part of it and leave the rest to regen-heal?

                      Kiwi, Jasari , There was never any conversation about the cost. It was a PowerPoint discussion about the effectiveness and the factual data connected to it.

                        Is this treatment a lot faster than a FUE transplant?

                        What is the maximum amount of grafts that can be obtained in a session? - just after an estimate.

                        Can it regenerate?

                        When is it available?

                        Where will it be available?

                        What date in October is Dr Wesley doing his thing?


                        If this treatment can do 3000+ grafts, with no scaring, and with better yield than FUT/FUE then I am in, depending on price....

                        It would be useful if someone could tell me if this Pilofocus is capable of doing at least 2500 grafts in one session or over a few days.........If it can't I might as well book a FUE session now.

                        Dr Gho's regeneration technique sounds good but he can only do 1400 grafts a year, which sucks complete donkey's ass when you're a NW6. It would take 5-6 years to get a head of hair back.

                          This device sounds very promising.

                          Dr Wesley is a reputable surgeon it seems and Spencer likes what he is doing.

                          If he manages to regenerate hair + scarless FUE, it will make HT an attractive option for those individuals who can't/won't tolerate propecia.

                            Is there a specific date in October that has been scheduled for whatever is going to happen? is it just an announcement?

                            October couldn't come sooner enough.

                              It's also a huge step forward and for me would basically allow me to completely restore my hair in one shot, pilofocus is supposed to be able to yield greater amounts of hair. If thats the case, one session of about 3-4,000 grafts (with regeneration) would have me 'cured' (hairline restored to a respectable level and density greatly increased). NW3/4 and below will find this a huge boost.

                              I really, REALLY hope regeneration is a possibility though, otherwise its not really that much of a game changer.

                                Yes the key is regeneration.

                                If it can regenerate hair then HT will be made accessible by everyone.
