The piloscope is now ready for limited clinical use in a select group of patients. Development and testing of the device that enables select harvesting of the stem-cell containing portion of hair follicles without traumatizing the overlying skin surface has led us to this point. The company (Pilofocus) overview can be seen here.

Beginning at the end of July 2015, a handful of patients will be able to undergo very limited surgical hair restoration with this method. The cases will initially involve transplantation of approximately 100-200 follicular units. Although this "scarless surgical" method will eventually be made available to all hair types, patients most suitable for the initial piloscopic procedures are those who have previously undergone follicular unit transplantation (FUT) as the instrument will harvest donor hair adjacent to their donor scar. There is no charge for patients selected to take part in these initial, small pilosocpic procedures.

Please email, Barbara, our office manager at info@drcarloswesley.com or call 844-PILOFOCUS (1-844-745-6362) for more information.

End of July is near...

Dr Wesley, I know this is really hard to answer. But could you please give us just some kind of rough approximation of how the time schedule for pilofocus looks like?
First trial to start in juli 2015. If we assume the results from the trials are satisfying, how will you proceeed from there?

Is it realistic that pilofocus treatments will be commercially available for patients at your clinic during 2017 IF the clinical trials work out as well as planned?

It would just be very, very good for me and many others to know this.
I understand that delays are very possible, but hopefully you still have some approximations in mind, I assume.
Thank you very much.

2017 is our year.

2017 is our year.

Just out if curiosity, how many people are excited about this if there ends up being no regeneration?

No scarring + increased survival rate would make it a huge win in my book. Worst case you can move more hair from the donor area, cut the sides and back close (1 or 0), grow out the top.

I am because I'm an early Norwood 3, five years stabilized with finasteride. I don't need regeneration. I need to fix my hairline without a scar.

I've been taking propecia for around 8 years and I've noticed for about a year now my hairline slowly going back to a nw3... It may be short sited to assume finasteride will always halt one's hair loss, and to go all in with a hairline with that assumption... I guess if you have no hesitation in your mind of getting a hair transplant this sounds money, but I guess I've gotten my hopes up with replicel, and lauster thinking something much much much better could be here in the next 3-5 years...

Yeah, Replicel might come through and when it does a Pilofocus user would still be able to take advantage of it and walk away scar-free at that.

and finasteride will not halt anyone's loss forever.

If there is something (WITHOUT ANY SIDES) that can STOP further hairloss within the next 5 years, then i think i'll make it.

after that its transplants+other new treatments, if they come out. Will finally be able to experience adult life without baldness. Probably cost 50 grand though. What a trip
