Getting rid of hair is better than no hair at all?

Did he show his own photos in connection with his Pilofocus technique or did he just show the pics from Dr. Jerry Cooley, who extracted grafts with a 4mm punch and applied ACell thereafter? It's the latter ... and therefore, regrowth is just pure speculation based on a small experiment by Dr. Cooley.

Extracting grafts similar to FUE from outside the skin (Dr. Cooley) instead from beneath the skin (Dr. Wesley), is a completely different story. Imho, even if there indeed regenerate hair follicles below the intact upper layer of the skin surface to create finally a "scarless hair transplant", what's actually the key-point with Pilofocus, can rather cause ingrown hairs which tunnels initially under skin and create finally cysts. But again, imho ...

oh yeah im sure dr wesley and his team are excited about their treatment causing cysts all over peoples heads

This is true:

Regeneration segment of the video starts exactly at the 21 minute mark.

From the video presentation Dr Wesley did suggest that regeneration was indeed possible, with the application of Acell.

However he did suggest it might be expensive initially.

lmao get a new haircut military style, better then no hair at all

If there is no donor regrowth then this is a waste of time.

Quoted for truth.

[yeahyeahyeah]

just hold ur breath until 2015 when pilofocus becomes available for large sessions. By talking with Dr Wesley's office last night; here is what they told me:

"Full-sized piloscopic sessions (over 1000 grafts) are most likely going to be possible in about 18 months (the year 2015)"

If there is no donor regrowth then this is a waste of time.

Thanks, but what about my other question i.e is pilofocus capable of giving full donor regrowth?

Ironman is always being sarcastic that is why you ignore him.
Pilofocus has shown there will be no scars in donor area. That is all it has shown for now. I wish there would be donor regrowth but I seriously doubt it.

"Regarding price, Dr. Wesley honestly hasn't looked into that at all. He imagines that it will very closely reflect FUE prices currently charged. For the trial, however, he will not charge patients and those enrolled in the initial trial will receive a very limited number of grafts."

[mikeswick]

Is this irony or you are serious?

Is the Pilofocus capable of giving full donor regrowth?

And how come it'll be "almost for free"? I imagine it will be rather expensive

Yeah, but remember:
Thereafter you will have

- a full head of hair with just one session;

- full regrowth (of sebaceous cysts) in the donor area;

- procedure almost for free;

So come on, I think it's worth to wait 18 month for all these good things.

[mikeswick]

I don't know much about it yet, maybe someone could weigh in. There is no fkin way i'm ever doing a hair transplant with any types of damn scars showing up on my head

[BoSox]

Can somebody explain Pilofocus for dummies?
