      Artista,

      As always, thanks for making yourself available to help.

      Most of my questions have already been asked by others, but to reiterate:

      (1) What can Dr. Wesley tell us about the risk of trauma beneath the skin? Is there a risk of nerve damage or internal bleeding? What if a patient's head makes a sudden movement (e.g. sneeze) during surgery while the apparatus is underneath the skin?
      (2) Is Dr. Wesley able to talk about evidence of donor regeneration on human patients (such as the anecdotal evidence you have spoken about before)? Does he plan to measure: % of hairs in the donor and recipient areas, hair diameter in donor and recipient areas, and # hairs per graft in donor and recipient areas? This would help us learn the most about if hairs are truly regenerating or simply being split in half, etc.
      (3) Will the excess fat at the bottom of Pilofocus grafts be trimmed prior to implantation? It seems like the excess fat that comes from below the bulb could lead to ridging or speed bumping in the recipient area.
      (4) Any updated timeline for release or use by other doctors now that development is completed?

      Thanks!

        Hello everyone,,
        I had a good time on the Live Show with Spencer, Joe Tillman and Dr Wesley!
        I only asked a couple of questions posed by our members here because Dr Wesley openly had talked of everything related to members concerns and issues.

        Once the Live Show is available on Podcast please LISTEN to it.

        As most of you know I will be meeting up with Dr Wesley THIS month. My wife will be with me too!
        Dr. Wesley WILL be having me as a patient in that Phase Testing.
        He will probably inform me of the time-frame during our meeting.

              Spencer Kobren and Joe Tillman speak with IAHRS accepted member Carlos Wesley, M.D. about the latest advancements in scarless hair transplant surgery. The guys also stay late to take some great calls. Spencer Kobren's The Bald Truth is internationally syndicated through the GFQ Network

                Lots of information on Piloscopy during the show! Does anyone have any feedback on this? Anything new that you find interesting? I do not have enough knowledge of this to draw any real conclusions.

                      I must say, this Piloscopy technique is very innovative.

                      All credit to Dr Wesley for thinking outside the box. I like the look of the man. From his profile picture he looks like he could sell you a time share.

                      For those of us who have a strip scar, a scarless procedure is a big step forward. I myself have a scar which though not to severe, still prevents me from shaving. Excuses like I was attacked by a rabid dog or captured by a mad scientist who performed a successful lobotomy just do not wash.

                      Of course the big hope is regeneration? In theory there is hope, but the reality? Lets wait and see, but what ever the outcome, good luck and respect to Dr Wesley.

                        I don't know about others, but the link provided mutes itself around 15 minutes and is silent for the rest of the show.

                        However, it has been uploaded to youtube without sound issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EwHqgnvK-g

                          So according to the interview small sessions will be available late 2015, an early 2016. Is it safe to say that we can see normal 2000+ piloscopy sessions by summer 2016?

                            A very good news!
                            Donor regeneration possible?
                            And the price?

                              That's not what I read into it. As far as my understanding goes, the doctor is working on small sessions now. And he will continue to do that for a while, and slowly go for larger and larger sessions.

                              It sounds to me it will take a very long time before it is really released, and then the surgeons have to adapt to it. I'd say easily 4 years. But, I might be a little too pessimistic.

                              I don't know about this "donor regeneration" it doesn't make much sense to me. If you are taking the entire follicle, all the dermal papilla which produce the hair, how will there be regeneration?
                              It didn't sound like that was even a point for the doctor. It's all about a scarless, effective and safe procedure.

                                Donor regeneration is one of the advantage of Pilofocus we concern.
                                Scarless is indeed a big step forward tho.
