    The other side can still be used for another 2000 grafts.
    How many grafts total have u had? 2000??

    PiloFocus would just be icing on the cake, because I would have an exit strategy from the scenario entirely (I.e. shave my head w/ no scar).

Yeah the donor hair will be very sparse but it's easy enough to conceal if you just leave the hairs long/ get a scissor cut instead of using a 1 or a 2 guard with a trimmer. The only look you can't pull off is the high fade hipster look but who the hell cares? We're all here because it's the hair on top that's going

    the thing with me is i look money with a shaved head i mean i used to regulary buzz it down in my mid-twenties when i played Rugby and stuff during summers. I still got laid. Id prefer hair but i could shave if need be. i really hope PiloFocus comes thru. Id love to avoid a strip scar or major scarring otherwise. good jawline.

    Tell me, where are the scars? http://users.skynet.be/v-site2/fue/6-months-donor.jpg
    I've seen examples of Fue before and while that is hard to detect it looks a bit sparse (something the laymen isnt going to notice without being asked to look for) and you said earlier you only had a few grafts transplaneted, right? What about when you go up to 5-6k grafts? It will be even more sparse. In addition if I were to go extensively bald (past a norwood 3v... so like a full-fledged 4, i would want to shave my head even shorter than that... im talking like a zero guard, just a bit longer than a clean bic razor shave. In that case I think you would see your dots potentially now and certainly after 6k FUE grafts.. All this to say, your head looks good man, as of right now I dont see any scars per se.

    I told u what it claims to do and didnt necessarily use the phrase 'game changer'.

    If it does what it says it will do, i would pay top dolla.

    Pillowfocus . Seriously though, how long have we been talking about this "game changer"? Nearly 3 years now, possibly more.

    And it's not even a procedure you can have right now. And if you ever can, it's not going to be cheap and only in Wesley's office.

    I don't see it replacing FUE. For what? 10 more grafts surviving and no scars at all instead of invisible scars? Totally worth the wait!
