Of course this is a speculative question, but how do you envision a cure being delivered?

Most likely without the help of a hair surgeon. It's obvious.

How Do You Envision a "Cure" Being Delivered

Of course this is a speculative question, but how do you envision a cure being delivered?

So I guess we can be somewhat safe to assume that the cure could actually be here within 10 years for real this time? heh.

And I think we should use the adipose stem cell (AAPE) exactly as it was used in the study as a bridge to improve our hair for us for those 10 years.

But, Follica is really dead ?

[hellouser]

We can only hope.

At least its plural; teams.

We dont have to hope for just ONE team.

[Buster]

- most teams believe they are 2-3 years away from the final cure.

We can only hope.

[stan]

hey des

if you get time check your thread on finasteride, got a question for you.

PS- my apologies to everyone for this unrelated post

[DeuceWillis]

Well I guess I ate my words on that one. Touché Desmond, Touché indeed.

[DeuceWillis]

Anytime walrus!

[Desmond84]

where the hell is desmond and why haven't we learned anything about lauster's team? that was really the only interesting part of the conference, what a ****in tease. All those other videos have been a total letdown.

Hi brother, apologies for not being so active. I'm away on a work trip in Indonesia. Im back on Wednesday.

They have given me the green light to post their presentation. They were also happy with my summary of my interview albeit some minor changes have to be made. I'll post the whole thing on Wednesday

All in all though, we actually managed to figure a lot out:

- Follica's program has been halted for now.

- Lausters team has made hu progress.

- Jahodas team has subdivided into 4 teams each trying different approaches.

- There are 6 other groups trying to create a hair follicle.

- all the recent studies have been conducted using human cells.

- most teams believe they are 2-3 years away from the final cure.

The presentations are quite in depth and needs a bit of further reading to grasp everything they are talking about. We'll have a closer look at all those presentations in a weeks time.

My aim was to initially get most of the presentation online so that ppl can watch it AMD make up their own minds, rather than hearing it from a third party.

Oh also, I have some promising news for everyone :-) as I said before the German team have progressed significantly and under the radar for over 5 years now. I just received an email for Dr Lindner that they will be launching their hair multiplication website in the next 4 weeks, which will explain a lot of their work and findings. That is definitely a good sign in my eyes :-)

Hope this gibes everyone more hope. I'll be back online on Wednesday night. Keep on rocking my brothers.

Ciao ;-)

6 of 12 extraction sites grew a hair, really? that would be fantastic already.
but was it only single hairs, or also 2, 3 and 4 hairs, depending on the extracted graft?

and was it a normal extraction or was it some kind of gho technique where follicles are only partly extracted and some cells left behind in the extraction site?

and also, when was this 12 graft test done? was it this year?
is it planned to do a larger session with 500 grafts or so?

if cole really can achieve about 50% regeneration consistently (average) and even make FUE scars invisible because healing is better with ACell, then this would be a game changer and make pilofocus obsolete.

i'm sure the 12 graft test was documented with pictures. why not share them here? (but a new thread should be created for it then)

THIS^^. Chuck.

[walrus]

Wow I sure do enjoy dropping by and getting a laugh at all these girls arguing all the time... Some one talked trash to me on here bc I said it was pointless to even send Desmond's ass to that conference bc once again we'll be in the same boat more info and nothing to do with it. And what do you know? It's nearly been a month and a half since that conference and nothing to show for it except for a bunch of "we're working on it" videos. They're still in the lab and were still going bald lol.. **** it I'm tired of caring

DeuceWillis, we are grateful for your constructive, insightful, and wondrously enlightening comments. Please drop by again.

Pilofocus is still scarless initially anyway, so no scarring whatsoever, not even a chance. But more importantly, graft survival and speed are far superior to FUE.

Kudos to Dr. Wesley for taking on the Pilofocus project. I wish him great success.

For Hellouser:
1.) To make claims about what the Pilofocus can do while it's still in the development stage is premature.

2.) No visible scarring, perhaps. Scarring under the skin will occur whenever an instrument is inserted into the skin and moved about during the course of harvesting follicles.

3.) Faster than FUE? There is no FUE speed standard to base such a statement on. FUE tools and techniques are very different. Some doctors use needles while others use blunt punches while others use sharp punches. FUE extraction speed varies considerably from doctor to doctor. For instance some doctors extract grafts manually while others use a powered, doctor-controlled device. Manual extraction is slower and less accurate in experienced, capable hands. Patient's hair characteristics vary considerably and have a huge impact on extraction speed.
