How does Dr. Wesley's Scarless Pilofocus work?

[sausage]

Artista has said:

"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."

But recently he seems to be playing down our expectations so we don't get too excited........I am beginning to thin regen hasn't quite worked out.

[Joker]

Sausage, that's going a little overboard. Artista has no way of knowing the most recent results of Dr. Wesley's tests and his comments have stayed quite consistent in my opinion. I just think he is trying to be responsible because with medicine you never know how things will turn out.

[Artista]

Hey there Sausage, No worries bro, I have been keeping myself consistent throughout in my approach to this topic.
Thanks to Joker for clarifying as well.
Sausage, I just dont want anyone here to feel as if I have been trying to promote some type of 'cure'.
That is not the case. When I had spoken to Spencer recently he did point out that there are many members here that are paying close attention to my every word.
I have been quite honest of my experiences here to date. I really dont want everyone to think that Dr Wesley is preparing to sell some type of 'cure' to you ..
Yes I was and still am very impressed with what I have witnessed but I personally am not expecting a 'cure' of sorts.
I am hoping for this great new approach to bring FUE hair transplantation to a higher level of achievement. (a game-changer) If in the process the donor area can achieve REGROWTH as well..FANTASTIC.
You must keep in mind that I cannot share everything shared with me about that particular process. The Dr will do that himself in October.
Hang in there guys,,we are all in this together.

By the way Sausage, My wife and I plan to fly into London (LHR),
of course.
From there we may drive out to Bristol and then up to Manchester. I would like to be around the regular Brits and not spend a huge amount of time in the touristy areas of England.

No worries, I get ya, some ppl maybe were going over the top.

I am impatient as hell. Whatever the news in October.....that is when I make a decision whether to have standard FUE, have Pilofocus, or if the worst comes to the worst......consider SMP.


That is interesting that you are coming over more for a social thing than for sightseeing......It is also interesting that you mentioned Bristol but not Bath, which as you probably know is very close to Bristol.....Bath is probably the, or one of the most beautiful City's we have.....but I guess it is fairly touristy.

Thanks Artista, that is truly great news. Fingers crossed that things work consistently. A scarless FUT transplant w/ significant regeneration is not a "cure" per se, but damn close in my opinion. Hopefully this is it.

Pilofocus, unfortunately, is nothing like a FUT. A FUT leaves you with density very close to the original density in the donor, despite no regeneration.

[Artista]

Clarence, Current FUE surgery by any clinic has not been comparable to FUT surgery, you are correct. Apparently you might be unaware as to what Dr Wesley has been developing for many many months now. When October is here you might be quite surprised as to what Pilofocus may have available to us all. Dr Wesley will be making his presentation at the San Francisco conference .

Artista, I was referring to issues with the donor area, when I said "unfortunately". Some of us simply value the hair density in the donor area too much to ever have a FUE, even if it would be scarless and provide 100% yield.

Forum members just seem to forget about this fact when they keep telling me FUT surgeons are butcherers and FUT should be banned, as some like to tell me. But those who don't mind too much the reduction in hair density in the donor area will be thrilled to have Dr. Wesley's pilofocus as an option.

[hellouser]

I'd trade my hair density up top and hairline for the entire back of my neck and sides in a heart beat. Perhaps thats what Pilofocus could do, essentially? Remove so much from the donor all around as to leave it thinning but have the top at NW2 level?

[Artista]

I seriously contemplated having FUT surgery done by a well qualified and experienced IAHRS surgeon very recently. I almost went through with it. When I had been educated through Dr Wesley's PowerPoint presentation this past May, I decided to hold off. Qualified IAHRS doctors are not butchers , regardless of which type of surgery they do. There are plenty of butchers out there though and if one does not use their due diligence in researching HT docs they will get what they paid for

With FUE, unlike with FUT, you always have that trade-off. Too bad the last two decades have given us little improvement in reducing the visibility of the strip scar. (Otherwise I might have a FUT - in a heartbeat)

Decided to watch Spencer Kobren's show which focused on Dr Wesley's new technique......wow! Spencer was very positive about it and sounded fairly confident in regeneration being likely and the regeneration potentially being very good. He thinks it's a game changer!

The technique apparently is so simple he wonders why no1 else has thought of it before. I have tried to think up ideas for what it could be but have no idea....I looked up scarless surgery and it came up with a technique where surgeons enter a natural orifice to get to the particular area......I can't see how that would work with a HT though. I doubt Pilofocus involves sticking something up your rectum to get to your donor area.

I do wonder if more grafts are taken at once, instead of the painstaking graft by graft extraction of current FUE. It would be great if a machine could extract 5000 grafts in one go.

I just hope it is as positive as Spencer thinks it will be......and then hope it is affordable. Even though technically (without financial restraints) I could potentially have as much donor as I wanted transplanted.........with financial restrictions, 5000 grafts with a possible 100% retention rate should be able to give my NW6 head a good make over.

He also talked about the benefit of there being no scaring, although that is a great benefit to have......I think SMP into a FUE scarred donor area would be a decent cover up of the scarring and add density to the donor area. If I was to get current FUE I would like to think that a surgeon would be happy to extract more donor than usual if I was happy to fill in the scarred and bare areas with SMP. This would be quite important to me being a NW6 with below average donor.

I would like to get on Dr Wesley's waiting list asap before it gets flooded with people wanting Pilofocus.

Here's the best part about all this:

Consider Pilofocus with regeneration for an overall touch up.

Then consider CB for regrowth of miniaturized follicles.

Then consider dermarolling and wounding with minoxidil.

All that together could and hopefully WILL bring back at least 2 norwood levels of hair relatively QUICKLY.

[sausage]

Pilofocus with say 80% regeneration would do it for me personally, no need for any other crap.

TBH I don't know much about the other things you mentioned but my feeling is they are all a load of crap.

I mean, when you have a HT technique that can obtain the donor hair you need to give you a decent head of hair then that is enough for me.

I am not fussed about having the thick head of hair I once had, as long as I get decent coverage, can style it and it looks natural that's it......I am good to go.

If that happens I'll be off on a rampage asking girls out here there and everywhere, I'd be like stuff this, I am making up for the past 5 or so years.

I hope this time next year....that is what I will be doing.

QUESTION FOR ARTISTA:

Has Dr. Wesley not considered weekly dermarolling/wounding POST Pilofocus procedure to induce WNT proteins much like Histogen in the donor region?

Has anyone thought of that angle to improve regeneration???
