How does Dr. Wesley's Scarless Pilofocus work?

[youngin]

Low down is: Incision made in skin, machine goes underneath the skin, ultrasound camera on top, graft is removed from underneath the skin and sucked out into a container. Looks like the container might separate the grafts by mass for the surgeon. Badass! Time for Spencer to talk now

GAME CHANGER for hair surgery. This could be incredible combined with something like Nigams donor doubling (if he proves it 100%).

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

hair transplant industry is going to change soon brothers and we will be benefited a lot

[Ted]

Seems great!

Has Dr. Wesley said anything about how fast the procedure is compared to regular fue?
I also wonder how he knows how deep he should put the grafts and in what direction when he doesn't have the hair strand to guide him.

I really hope this gets successful!

Badass is the word! Kobren called it once again and I think this is extremely exciting!

This is the best of all worlds. It's scarless and it will make blind harvesting FUE from the outside obsolete. This is really a big deal!

I must say, it's a pretty innovative approach! Should be the KO punch for big ear to ear smiley scars and for the scattered white dotting of FUE. And from the sounds of it, yields should increase by significant amount. And no head shaving necessary for the procedure.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. Still need to overcome the limited donor supply issue though. Would love to see Dr Nigam nail it, but, i'm still highly sceptical of him and not expecting much. Time will tell. But this is great!

The grafts still have the hairs attached. He just pulls them out from underneath.

I see. Thanks for clarifying!

Edit
Even the part of the hair strand that is above the skin surface?
In that case I guess you have to shave

[J_B_Davis]

This is groundbreaking beyond what I had imagined. Brilliant!

[J_B_Davis]

I think the most impressive part of this is that blind FUE harvesting will be a thing of the past. Doctors will be able to actually see the entire hair follicle and cut out the most important part from the bottom up without damaging it. It makes total sense. Much more sense than going in blind and leaving visible scars on the skin. Very impressive!

Guys, I am a major HT newb, can anyone offer a concise analysis of what exactly this innovation means? Will it result in more natural looking hairline and expanded donor supply? I want to know if this will be possible to repair my hairline as soon as this comes out, assuming histogen provides convincing evidence that it is effective and for sure coming to market in 3 years

This might give us some clues on how it works:

http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20130096600

"[0170] After the desired number of intact FUs have been effectively removed from the patient, the barrier device and endoscope 1100 may be removed from the visual cavity beneath the patient's scalp. Afterwards, the incision into which the endoscope and its attachments were introduced is sutured closed using, for example, 5-0 nylon sutures in a continuous running suture so as to leave a nearly imperceptible scar in a hidden post-auricular zone. The scar may be linear, curved, lobular, zig-zag, radiate, or other shape."

No war without "collateral damage" - IF this leaves the only "collateral damage".

This.

What's so good about scarless fue?

[HARIRI]

PayDay, you have successfully decoded Dr. Wesley's scareless technique. Good job Buddy. It makes now a lot of sense. Its indeed a breakthrough although it leaves scars but nealry imperceptible. I would like to see the opinion of top FUE surgeons like Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Koray Erdogan, Dr. Feriduni and Dr. Lorenzo about this one.

534623 makes a sense here, No war without "collateral damage"

you're an idiot - scarless FUE is going to become the gold standard of FUE.... you should Gho away and stop being such a party pooper. You know there is a Gho thread for Gho fanboys... you should Gho away now.
