My gut feeling is that dr wesley isnt getting nowhere near 100% regen with bisecting method so Im not surprissed dr Nigams wasnt impressed but Im surprissed that dr gho didnt try this method at some point?Or maybe he did and it didnt work....

My gut feeling is that ALL graft wounding procedures are the same: they're just FUE and do NOT lead to regeneration. First HASCI claimed they could do it, it turned out that wasn't true. Then Nigams could all of a sudden do it but never produced any convincing evidence, only some photoshopped pictures. Then Mousseigne said he was very far producing results but then disappeared into nowhere. Then Mwamba got interested because HASCI, Mousseigne and Nigams supposedly could do it (he said that's why he got interested in Nigams). And then we read that Pilofocus MAYBE caused regen too ... Of course I might be wrong here but up till now the simple fact is that we have not seen a single credible regeneration case from ANY of those doctors ...Comment

Dr Cole also claimed donor regeneration but as you said none of them produced anything yet.
I would bet money that Dr Gho tried dr Nigams donor doubling and it didnt work and now everyone thinks they could do it.
The worst part about dr nigam is that we didnt see 1 decent fue, fut, hm, doubling from him...photo gallery on his website is pathetic at best.How is that possible you have wonder and people STILL go to himComment

I don't have much faith in Nigams anymore. All this time, only words and promises, not a single credible case that proves anything beyond reasonable doubt. I think Mwamba just got interested because all of a sudden 'everybody' claimed they were able to do it and now is testing if it really works (which I think it wont).
Nobody could produce evidence. That's quite weird the least, isn't it.Comment

And Didi, how many times die we catch Nigams cheating, manipulating photo's and blatantly lying ? I really lost track. All in all, no, I don't have much hope anymore regarding him. But I've made that point more than enough times. I just keeps amazing me how, just like you said, people are still visiting his clinic ...Comment

Hi Arashi, i want to thank you for your recent kind words on another thread.
I do understand the frustrations of many.
We all want to have had a great treatment YESTERDAY.
I DO feel very positive that something good will be available possibly sooner than we know.
As far as Dr Wesley's work is concerned, I feel even more positive than ever that he IS about to revolutionize the hair transplant field.
Dr Wesley contacted me TODAY in fact. He told me of a great experience at the recent conference and has the full support of the surgical community after having witnessed his presentation in San Fran'. Dr Cole was very supportive in-particular. As you know Dr Cole is very busy in refining the use of the Acell Matrix application.
Apparently he was impressed with Dr Wesley's progress.
It will not be a let down for us all..
I can sense that. Oh by the way,Dr Wesley did say that he will be setting up my phase test experience soon.
!! I cant wait and I will share my experiences with everyone here.
Again,,thank you Arashi for your positive response earlier at the other thread.
Everyone,we all must hang in there..Listen to and trust Spencer Kobren's thoughtful advice that he has given to us many many times. Live your lives, allow a better treatment to SURPRISE you. Cheers allComment

Good morning TheSwingingGate (US time)
We must stay positive. Obviously you know that too.
Negativity only brings us all down and serves no purpose in living out our individual lives.
Regarding hair loss treatments in general ..there ARE GOOD treatments on our horizon. One being a revolutionary new surgical treatment and the others being regenerative.
Especially for our young men here..you will benefit from it the MOST.
That is a fact. That is why I said -
"Live your lives, allow a better treatment to SURPRISE you".
About a week ago I actually had a dream that I DID shave my head.
The idea of doing that has been on my mind recently, hence the dream.
In the dream I was alone and decided to finally shave my head without a mirror present. When i walked up to a mirror I was pleasantly surprised to see that I didn't look 'that bad'- in my eyes!
Of COURSE, I was semi surprised.
I thought about the emotional ramifications once I met up with others when they FOCUSED on my head and would make the comments.
I decided that I would DISMISS any speculations or concerns as to how they may view me or what they would internally think about ME being a shaved headed guy.
Really- WHAT DOES IT MATTER? What really MATTERS is how I feel and think about it all. After-all, We ARE our own worst critics.
At the end of the day,,they probably would not think at all about my shaved head in the long run, it would not be a life long topic of theirs either.
If a person 'close to me' would be so highly critical of me because of my hair loss or my shaved head , how truly close were they to begin with???
How much do they really care about me as a person??
If a truly close friend or family member didn't like the shaved head look they would OVERLOOK it and accept it anyways,,right?
Don't WE always do that for others that we are close to and care for , be it an affliction, hair loss, a missing body part etc etc????
If it were not for the fact that I am currently on Fin' and that I will be a phase test patient for a great Doctor, I may have shaved my head already.
Who knows?
Of course with age comes wisdom but you must always be objective.
Ok ,,enough of my rambling. Hang in there my brothers!!!!!

Artista, do you think it is safe to say we are going to see some amount of regeneration from pilofocus, we just don't know the exact number yet? Also, do you have any idea of when Dr. Wesley will announce a release date and all information surrounding the surgery (such as regen %)...
Thanks for taking your time to keep us all informed!

You should read my comment from another thread:
If Pilofocus can be done on body hair, a lot of people will be set. My legs are really hairy, and all the hairs are just as thick and long as the hair on my head. I like my hair typically around 1-2 inches in length.
Does anyone know if a BHT with Pilofocus could be done? That plus safe donor zone hair should give some serious options for some people.
As for the regeneration bit, here's a screenshot from the presentation of the possible regeneration:
Now, if that photo is legit, then regeneration DOES happen... with Acell. Let's hope Cooley and Wesley pull it off. They do that, I'm making a large 'donation' to the both them in the form of copious amount of champagne and other alcohol.
I get the feeling that with the regeneration bit, there may not be so much 'hype' from Dr. Wesley right now is due to:
a) Pilofocus has been in the works for a while, thus all the focus will be on THIS being presented
b) Regeneration hasn't been ironed out, so to me it'd be stupid to hype it up before we could reproduce the results consistently. Otherwise, it has the potential to ruin his credibility
Dr. Wesley *did* mention in the presentation that regeneration will be further investigated in 2014.
Having said that... looks like 2015 is going to be a pretty big year for hair loss sufferers with more confirmed news from Replicel, Histogen, Dr. Wesley's/Cooley's regeneration and potentially something from Follica seeing how theyre halfway through clinical trials. The race is tight..... and money is more important to any of these guys than the sympathy card.... or even integrity.Comment

HI FTL !! I'm currently at a restaurant with my wife having dinner (Oakbrook, IL). To answer your first question... YES I feel it is safe to say that we will experience regrowth/regeneration in our donor areas. % wise I wouldn't really want to guess . I'm hoping for the best of course. Dr Wesley is such a great guy and he is 100% sincere in what he is attempting to do. I can't wait to meet him and go through the process of phase testing. I'll share my experiences with all of you. Of course!!!!Comment
