How does Dr. Wesley's Scarless Pilofocus work?

[crafter]

DR Nigam responded yesterday about Dr WEsleys ishrs presentation. He said it doesn't create new donor hair and seemed to imply that it is nothing revolutionary. Afraid I can find the link but I think it's on this forum.

So he's inferring that spencer was excited for no reason? Not sure I'm buying what Nigam is saying..

I like dr.nigam but ofcourse he is not going to say anything great about another competitor. Dr.wesley method is atleast scarless, which is better then the regular fue.

Scarless or not, its still insignificant. If there was enough donor area to bring me back to an NW1 from NW6 or NW7 I'd take even FUT with the strip scar.

Why? Because all the hair I've got will cover it anyway, rendering the scar irrelevant.

So... its time to either demand donor regeneration or tell these butcher surgeons to piss off.

You couldn't be more wrong in this my friend. Scarless can be a revolution, for virgin scalps. The greatest drawback of hair transplants in high norwood's is the scars that make you have to keep your donor area up to a certain length to cover them. Its worst with strip by far but its still an issue with FUE. Leaving the donor long enough(even mm's matter)will always make the top look thin where there in only transplanted hair.

Scarless can give the option to nw6 guys to leave the crown untouched completely. You have some hair on top and in front and you buzz down the sides and crown to the shortest grade to have a marine style look! The density on top even low will always look thick compared to the closely buzzed sides with no scars.

Maybe a marine look its the only one option but hell you can have a hairline again to frame the face without worrying about the crown and scars showing cause you just buzz it to 0 if its scarless.

Dr. Nigam said he wasn't personally impressed with Dr. Wesley's presentation and that regeneration was a secondary goal (something Artista expressed several times) that concerns the use of Acell (something others had guessed beforehand).

Honestly, I'm disappointed with the whole "Acell" aspect. Dr. Wesley and Spencer intimated there was "strong evidence" that donor hair could be regrown based on studies conducted by other doctors. This is not true. There is no evidence - none - provided by any doctor that suggests Acell can regrow donor hair.

Believe me, HT's with no donor scars are a HUGE improvement. Revolutionary, honestly. But if Dr. Wesley is delaying the use of Pilofocus in his clinic until he determines whether or not Acell can regrow donor hair, I'm willing to save him a lot of time and effort and very simply say: "No. It will not."

[Joker]

Again, maybe there's something I'm missing because Artista said he saw donor regeneration with his own eyes, and I generally trust Artista, but I really feel like maybe there was a miscommunication somewhere in the data/presentation. (Remember that on this forum Dr. Wesley was quoted as saying he had not gauged any donor regeneration to date.)

Who knows - let's all just hang in there and try to wait patiently until the next update. I trust that Dr. Wesley is trying to help us.

Dr. Cole says he is seeing some regeneration using ACell. He's a pretty trustworthy guy too. See his video on youtube.

Youngin', I saw Dr. Cole's YouTube video awhile back and I also saw a picture of a donor area that he said regrew with the help of Acell. I saw a very clean looking donor area, but I saw no donor regeneration.

Dr. Mousseigne was the only person who showed true donor regeneration, but his business partner disappeared before providing any proof of recipient regrowth. No Acell was involved.

I heard from credible sources that dr wesleys technique is 'amazing' BUT there are still some barriers ...dont know why dr nigams wasnt impressed, maybe its not on par with his doubling but this surgeon in particular was impressed.

Spence, pls organize interview with dr wesley.

Thats unacceptable.

Basically what your saying is

'Yes, you can get hair, but not enough to wear it long, you'll have to buzz it down.'

I wont accept anything other than a complete solution of any kind. Its 2014 almost and still no cure or legitimate treatment.

Hey Didi any info on these barriers?

acell is bullshit... i had a fut and i think acell was new and its all just a crock of horse dung... i don't think i've got 3700 grafts and i've got a scar.

pilofocus would be awesome. fut scars suck... simple as that :P

[cp9]

Hey Kiwi, where did you get your FUT done? I'm from NZ as well... Did you do it here?

[Artista]

Kiwi - "...i had a fut and i think acell was new..."

When exactly did you have your FUT surgery done?
