    I wanted to reiterate that Dr Cooley did NOT invent Acell.

    Dr. Alan R. Spievack did and created Acell Inc.
    But he is offering it as a service. One that many doctors are struggling to get working.

    If Dr Cole is going to do that, then he is onto something. He is a no nonsense guy, so I trust his judgement.

      WOW! Not sure why everyone has gone off on a tangent, talking about acell and Histogen when this has just been stated!!!

      "Impressive regrowth/regeneration" YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      For a NW6 who only has maybe 4000 grafts max worth of donor this is huge news. Along with the fact that it is scarless and retainment of grafts is supposed to be very impressive.

      I can now get a decent head of hair back......if this is all true.

      Although knowing my luck the cost will be ridiculous so I won't be able to go near it.

      Artista.......is Pilofocus a quicker way of transplanting hair than FUE?

        Spend the money, you live once, you aint taking those dollars to your grave, better to enjoy the short time your on this planet than to die rich and miserable.

        If the procedure works with regeneration, I'm 100% game and will definitely be going for a treatment.

          Spend the money?

          If it's say $5 a graft it would cost $40,000 dollars..........£26,000

          If it's say $8 a graft it would cost $64,000 dollars.......£41,666

          who has that kind of dollar to spend.

          I am hoping at best the process is less time consuming and requires less human input than FUE........and therefore the prices are affordable.

          $9.99 for 8000 grafts seems fair.

            I doubt its going to cost more than Dr. Umar's Body Hair Transplant.

              Hi Sausage , I really dont know what the surgery time frame may be as to this new technique of Dr Wesley's.
              It is still in its phase testing and he is refining what he has begun.
              Keep in mind it is still defined as an FUE surgical method. I think he did say that the time frame may be quicker than normal FUE surgery.

                  Cheers Artista,

                  I hope so.......I hope that Pilofocus is available at the end of this year/beginning of next. I hope to that it will be something I could afford.

                  There is usually some kind of down side.

                    Seriously - could you please stop OVERHYPING something what isn't, in fact, not even worth to discuss.

                    btw - you and Dr. Wesley say (I have nothing against Dr. Wesley and definitely nothing against new approaches aka "simply let's try it") - "I'm surprised that nobody else ever thought about it!" - or something like that ...

                    Yeah, guess why ...

                    If I'm not completely wrong (and I'm extremely rarely completely wrong) - this procedure will be never ever a "game changer".

                      Iron man, you never seem to say anything positive about anything.

                      X person releases a new procedure -" it is shit "
                      Y person releases a new procedure -" it is shit "
                      Z person releases a new procedure -" it is shit "

                          Its going to cost same as fue or even cheaper. I doubt a brand new procedure is going to cost an absurd amount with it being so new and all and Dr wesley trying to draw in new patients.

                            O.K. If you are going out on a limb saying the cost will be the same as FUE or cheaper, then I will say regeneration will happen and rival Dr Gho at 50-85%.

                            You heard it here first.

                              Is Dr. Wesley presenting pilofocus next year at the World Congress for Hair Research in Korea?

                              If so, would it be way to early to guess he'd be one of the speakers during the regeneration talk?

                              There is a session dedicated to it, click here for the program schedule: http://hair2014.org/images/Program_01_pop.jpg

                                Dude if you posted this in the Dr Nigam thread I wouldn't even object because I haven't seen any proof of what he claims, I'm thankful for what he's trying to do and hopeful since boldy is now involved, but Dr. Wesley is a very good, well respected doctor. His reputation is much better than your demigod Dr. Gho. I question the claims of regeneration and eagerly await proof of those claims, just like I eagerly await proof of Dr. Gho's claims of consistent 80-85% regeneration. However regardless of regeneration Dr. Wesley's technique still has the possibility of greatly advancing hair restoration and I suspect because of his reputation has a greater chance of being adopted by a large number of hair transplant surgeons than any new advancement.

                                so like you I'll make a prediction. I predict that Dr. Wesley's procedure will be more widely adopted and more widely available than Dr. Gho's technique will ever be.

                                so you can "feel free to bookmark this post...you know... "for later reference"..."
