[KeepHoping]

Just wondering about the status of this new procedure? Any news?

Just wondering about the status of this new procedure? Any news?

Artista will participate in the trials for pilofocus early spring( so maybe sometimes soon?). Will just have to see what he will and will be allowed to report us.

..the last bit of news I heard was that even if this round of testing goes perfect, there won't be any HT's of more than 100-500 hairs for at least another 1 to 1.5 years...

..personally, doing 100 fu's seems like a waste of time...this procedure is still very much in it's infancy...

..the only thing that I don't like is how this was advertised...I get how you can't offer up a procedure of full on 2000 fu's, but wasn't the last few years testing HT's of lower fu's?? He also has to perfect the device, and that's great...but if this round is a success, why not go right in for the 2000+ jobs??

...I don't want to wait 1.5 years...the thing is, does having a standard FUE compromise my donor area for future Pilfocus procedures??

Hi Guys ..
KeepHoping As Sogeking has said, Ill be a phase test patient of Dr Wesley's this coming Springtime.

First of all, I am a pretty objective type of guy when it comes to learning by tons of research and conversation.
That being said, when I said here that i was very impressed with Dr Wesley's initial findings last year (as was Spencer Kobren) I am NOT exaggerating.
The updates that he had shown me via our Skype conversation recently made it even more exciting to see.
I WILL be updating everyone here on my phase test experiences ..no worries.
Cheers to all.

..that is great Arista...I actually have no doubts this will be a major breakthrough...the only downside is projected readiness of the procedure for availability to the public -- even with the best case scenario, it's a fair ways off from being a 2000+ FU procedure --- or at least that's the latest from Dr. Wesley

Because doctor Wesley is not an idiot. If he pushed the envelope and problems occurred you and others would be the first to crucify him for not fully testing the procedure. Just because it works on a smaller scale does not mean it works on a larger scale.

Even when it's ready for 2000 grafts (possibly in 2016), we'd have to fly to New York. Not all of us live in the US. And what about the price? If it's better than FUE, will it cost twice its price? Like 16000€ for 2000 grafts? Would it really be worth it?

[Dan26]

Artista do you have any clue about the pricing? FUE is so damn expensive and in reality pilofocus should make it cheaper

Hello Artista,

How many grafts are you having in your procedure if you don't mind me asking?

And are you expecting regeneration...or would that just be an incredibly welcome side-effect, and not necessarily what is being tested for?

Thx

[Artista]

Hi Fred, To let you know, once Dr Wesley is finished with testing and it has shown to be a revolutionary new technique in hair transplantation surgery, it will be offered and taught to the HL medical community at large.

[Artista]

Hi Paddy' ...
The phase test grafts will be anywhere between 100-500 grafts if my memory serves me right.
Possibilities of follicular regeneration at the donor area of this new technique would definitely be a bi-product of Dr Wesley's MAIN intention.
The initial phase tests that he had completed showed a great possibility of it happening but it was of course anecdotal.
Its exciting for me to know that I will be a part of this next phase test.
I try not to think about it too much..lol.

Awesome. Fingers crossed mate.

Would also like to know....

[Artista]

Would also like to know....

Sorry guys, I would have no idea what the eventual costs will be.

[Sparky4444]

don't know the costs because they don't know the person-hours for the new procedure..plain and simple...also have to recoup costs for development of the new tool, although that can't be in the order of thousands...but I could be wrong
