Article on piloscopy...

[tedwuji]

I'll be presenting an update on the development of our surgical device (the piloscope) as well as early phase clinical testing at this year's ISHRS Meeting in Chicago.

The updated conference program can be viewed here.

Great. We will be waiting.

Dr. Wesley,
Can you at least let us know if the 100 graft trials have begun yet? I think we are all very anxious to know if its started or on hold?
Thanks a million

I believe they have started.

Swooping is your doctor in Los Angeles?

Nope, Dr. Hakan Doganay in Turkey. Why?

[joachim]

Don't worry if it doesn't work out just get a normal FUE from a good doc. Has brought me to being a Norwood 1 now. Should have made the decision way earlier!

which NW have you been before? how many grafts did you transplant?

2835! I have made a in depth topic actually on another site with pictures and stuff, doubt I can link it here. I would say I was a NW3? Anyway in short so you can be your own judge;


Graft breakdown (thin hair)
Single: 835
Double: 1200
Triple: 800
________________
Total: 2835 grafts

Punch size: 0.7mm , 4mm length

Implantation: Choi pen 0.6 & 0.8mm

Let's hope that Pilofocus will prove to be better than FUE, completely lack off scarring and increased yield (less variability) will be very nice.

looks nice so far. but what if your hairloss progresses further? how old are you by the way?

if your previous NW status was stable with no further loss, then i would say you're already saved for at least the next 5 years. why are you lurking on these forum with a NW1?

Wow swooping those look like great results. How much did that all cost and where was it done? If you previously posted on another thread I'll be glad to check that out too... Losing hope , and hair, fast!

Thanks. I'm 26 now. I'm lucky that I react both pretty well too anti-androgens or 5ar2 inhibitors. However I'm bound to treatments no doubt. If my hair loss progresses further though I have about 2.5K grafts left, perhaps slightly more. By using treatments I should be probably save for some years yes. Being bound to treatments isn't ideal though. I too hope for better treatments. For instance I would love to have a shot in my head and maintain my hair with that for a year or more. A cure would be even better obviously. Furthermore I'm still highly interested in (hair follicle) biology and enjoy (scientific) discussions. I do spend less though than I used to just because I'm at more at "peace" now with my hair situation, but it still keeps me busy!

Keep strong man! Fight AGA ! I have put a topic up for you here; https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/thread...418#post216418.

Awesome results Swooping. Congratulations. Looks like you have the kind of hair loss that is ideal for a HT. Unfortunately, I'm diffuse and have been advised against it. I'd say your good for at least another 5 years.

Thanks man. Yeah I should be good for a few years, at least I hope so. Diffuse make things tricky but I have seen some great results to though. It's just more risky in my opinion. There are some great doctors who are great in grafting between hair.

Greats results, swoop. I saw the before and after pics and they are really amazing.

Are you planning to stay on RU only? in my opinion, a 5ar inhibitor like dut + a dht blocker should do better. DHT and T will be at castrate levels inside the HF.

thats like 20 years of good hair lol

Thanks Tenma. I'm doing a bit of trial & error with both RU & FIN now actually. Ideally I want to go for a minimum maintenance treatment. But yeah I agree DUT + RU is so strong can't possibly lose on that lol. My goal is to stay above baseline constantly if my hair gets worse I will just increase my regimen strength .

Its a good plan, man. Best of luck!
