How does Dr. Wesley's Scarless Pilofocus work?

[Artista]

Hello all,
Thank you Sausage for that positive comment. There will always be a percentage of people out there who will comment negatively like the one you had mentioned. It is in our best interest to stay positive though.
We all know that eventually some type of regenerative hair treatment will become available to us. Until that time has come, we should either utilize what is available to us now or individually reassess how we look at ourselves. Reason being- None of us wants life to 'pass us by'.
As far as Dr Wesley's new approach to FUE surgery is concerned,
I was privileged enough to get insight to his technique through the PowerPoint presentation containing all of its current data, photographic evidence and a viewing of his innovative new instrumentation which is awaiting an OK from the FDA .
Keep in mind guys, I am a regular member here just as you are.
I have been doing extensive research on hair loss treatments for quite a while. In the past , thankfully, I had not jumped on something right away that seemed to be a good thing. Research research research, will either prove or disprove what you had hoped for.
I know that you must keep your mind objective and realistic when doing so, and I have. There is nothing wrong with staying positive about Dr Wesley's upcoming technique because he WILL be presenting all of it at the ISHRS Conference this October anyway.
When I am scheduled as a patient for Dr Wesley's phase testing later this year, I will be glad to do so but dont think I wont have a little bit of apprehension attached. Who wouldnt? We are talking about surgery of course.
I have confidence in Dr Wesley though. He is a sincere guy and I could sense that he really wants to take hair surgery on up to the next level.
Don't allow negativity to infect you but dont be naive either.
Cheers.

He is trying to piss everyone off, that is Ironman's aim. Don't know why he is hated on here, as I have not been a member for long.........but it is sad that he feels he has to rant about something he knows nothing about just to annoy others.

It's because he is a bald, angry, bitter little man. He used to be a very constructive, knowledgeable member of the forums. Then Dr. Gho came along and he went full retard, never go full retard, never.

Aristas seems to know what he's talking about....although I don't know him, or if he has standing/respect around these forums but I believe him.

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".

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.

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

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.

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 "

I have spoken about the donor area regrowth before,,yes there is anecdotal evidence to show impressive regrowth/regeneration of the donor areas...Ive seen it.

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.

guys i am getting anxious, why to be so expensive?

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.

[sausage]

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.
