    Well, i believe that Spencer will be very specific on Pilofocus' new technique.
    I also conversed with him about the possibility of my talking a little more about it here on the forum.
    although I have not heard back from Dr Carlos Wesley as yet today, I guess it will be OK with him. I really respect Dr Wesley. He is attempting to bring hair surgery to the next level and I feel he will.
    Guys, i must get back into my studio,,much work to do right now but I will be ready for the live show..hang in there brothers!!

        I understood that you had some go ahead eitherwise you wouldn't let all this out, i am not talking about that when i said the cat out of the bag... but "regeneration" i thought we were waiting for a scarless procedure. That changes the game significantly. Lets hope its not another false promise just for the buzz.

            Pilofocus is same as nigams doubling invivo, the only diff is that dr wesley takes grafts from underneath the scalp and bisects it, top part keeps growing, bottom part gets transplanted...

            but if he gets regen wouldnt normal FUE extraction be enough? grafts regrows anyway, hence no scarring

              sounds good. Is this what he said on Spencer's show?

                if this is the case, then we have a de facto cure that'll be launched in 2014

                    Of course, the substantiating evidence in this thread has even a name: didi

                      Was this said on The Bald Truth's show last night? Can you source this info? This if the first time I've heard anywhere that Pilofocus bisects grafts...

                        This makes me think dr nigams doubling is legit. Bisecting follicle at correct length is the key to regeneration.

                        The logical question to ask is why bother going underskin or scalp harvesting grafts when you can do it Nigams way (standard FUE), regeneration will eliminate any scarring anyway. Makes it milion easier to corectly bisect graft invitro than to do it by going under the scalp.

                          I don't know if I would characterize Dr. Wesley's Pilofocus presentation in the same way as didi.

                          Yes, Pilofocus has the ability to bisect grafts in a very precise and accurate fashion.

                          However, we still do not know if the amount of stem cells removed is enough to generate a full follicle in the recipient area and if the amount of residual stem cells is enough to generate a full follicle in the donor area. Until we know this with certainty - something Dr. Wesley will test in the upcoming trial - we can't call it a functional cure or solution.

                          I, personally, am skeptical. Still, Artista has more information on this than I do and he has stated that he really believes he has seen anecdotal evidence of regrowth. Let's all hope he is right.

                          Just so everyone is aware, the ISHRS presentation only gave a limited overview of the "regenerative" aspects of this technology. The majority of the presentation concerned the shortcomings of current methods and the genesis of the Pilofocus.
