Article on piloscopy...

[hellouser]

Wait a sec' Hellouser ,
There was NEVER an absolute date set for the new and improved Pilofocus' method, so your statement that
"Pilofocus has been delayed by AT LEAST a year..." is not correct at all.
I can understand that some forum members felt as you did, but honestly, there was NEVER a release date set.
Look back on all of the conversations made by me, Spencer and Dr Wesley.
It was mentioned that phase testing might POSSIBLY be finished at some point but it was only speculation.
Since then Dr Wesley had decided to 'fine-tune' his endoscopic tools...and he did.
If I heard Spencer correctly during the Live show, Dr Wesley has now restarted the phase testing..I will verify that soon.

I never mentioned a specific/absolute date. The impression that Wesley and you left us with over a year ago was that it was supposed to be ready for small session by around this time TODAY and larger sessions sometime in 2015.

Hi Fear' Spencer talks of it on his latest Live show Ep.111 this past Tuesday evening ,,it isn't available on podcast yet..Give it a few days.

Can you get in touch with Dr Wesley/Spencer and ask if the release date for this interview could be sooner...

Is this patent in end of August the refinement for which Dr wesley delayed

System and method for aligning hair follicle

It has nice drawing and seems like a refinement, but can anyone make sense of it? Does it look good?

As I already had said just recently -
"Look back on all of the conversations made by me, Spencer and Dr Wesley.

Even if this comes out, unless it's a dollar a graft, it won't be a practical option. Donor supply isn't even really the issue, even with FUT you'll spend 40k before you use it all. Unless you have 100k lying around this won't be any help. You can get more girls with 100k than a full head of hair.

Very true. It's a shame Arista speculated to us all and built up false hope for everyone. Like many of the new stem cell treatments that are great for mice and rats in lab testing... This seems great if you're a cadaver and rich.

If it is going to be expensive he and you should not be creating false hope and doing your marketing testing freely here. Otherwise it's not a fair transaction

Yes, but you cannot buy them, only rent them...by the hour.

I know tons of bald guys with smoking hot girlfriends. It's not all about looks. However I will be the first in line for hist or replicel, prolly both.

Hey guys lets try to be patient. Lord knows we all can attest to how difficult hair loss can be. I believe that Dr Wesley is moving as fast as he can and wants to make sure it's as successful as possible. I also believe that what they've seen must be incredibly promising. If not there would be no need in talking it up considering the truth will have its day before it's all said and done. Arista thanks again for the updates.. I think it means a lot to many ppl on the forum. Hang in there guys!

I've been following this thread for some time now, and the main problem here is that you are constantly handing out empty promises of updates and further info on the development of piloscopy. One week you will say that you've talked with Dr. Wesley and you received some good news and that you will let us all know the next day. Then at least a week will go by, and nothing at all, which is then followed by some sort of excuse. This cycle has been repeating itself throughout this entire thread. It would literally take a couple of minutes to give a quick recap of what "the great news" is. It's understandable people have lives outside this forum, but a quick update is not at all hard to do, and if not why bother with the same repeated "news" over and over again?

[Sogeking]

You are not owed anything. If you don't understand this you'll have many disappointments in your life.

[Recidive]

bros, let's support each other, ok? I think most of us are in this section because we are already disappointed with the limited options available.

Anyway, for your heads up, I just found this news about Dr Wesley: he is presenting an update on 14 Jan in New Orleans. Any member lives there and is willing to attend?

http://www.drcarloswesley.com/updates.html

Dr. Wesley has been invited as a featured speaker at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Conference. This 31st Annual Scientific Meeting entitled "Technological Advancements in Cosmetic Surgery" will showcase some of the world's top surgeons with sub-specialties ranging from Rhinoplasty to Liposuction. The presentation will take place on January 14th, 2015 in New Orleans, LA and a preliminary schedule of presentations can be viewed.

Dr. Wesley has been invited to present on the Technology panel, "Advancements in Hair Restoration." Specifically, the presentation is to focus on the novel sub dermal approach to intact hair follicle harvesting (piloscopy) that has demonstrated a 45% improved survival rate over traditional follicular unit extraction (FUE). These findings are statistically significant. As the Founder and CEO of Pilofocus, a surgical device company dedicated to the development of this hair follicle harvesting technology, Dr. Wesley has presented the original findings from piloscopy at the International Society of Hair Restoration (ISHRS) Conference in 2013. This presentation, however, will include updated information regarding not only findings in the donor and recipient areas, but also the experiences of patients who have undergone this surgical procedure.

Fear, recidive...here is the video of Spencer's last program, talking about pilofocus update: http://www.gfqnetwork.com/shows/theb...-111-12-16-14/

I am afraid that the approach has been changed as he seems not using endoscopy or ultrasound now. The approach seems to be blinder than before by using an amplifying camera from the outside... So this seems in line with the new patent published in August. I wonder what are the implications of changing the approach as to FDA approval. Will it require to redo all the trial work?

[FearTheLoss]

So it seems as if the next phase is postponed further? so we are realistically looking at 2017 before we see this. That's very unfortunate.

[Recidive]

I am not sure if it is only me, but I cannot see Spencer very happy while talking about Pilofocus in the video. Looks like he wants to detach from it. maybe he is also disappointed by the delays.

Hopefully we can get some more updates from the New Orleans conference
