I really like the idea of all my hairline hair in the first surgery coming from the sweet spot with wicked fatty tissue protecting the dermal papilla .

Haha, that's funny lol. To each his own I guess.
But why wait for Pilofocus then? While Pilofocus might have no scarring and better graft protection, it won't deal with maximum graft output.
You'll still have to resort to FUT for that.
Or do you actually think that Pilofocus will yield regeneration?Comment

Well PiloFocus claims to have an extraction technique on par or even surpassing FUT because they're taking grafts from the bottom up. The fatty tissue is preserved just as well. Also they claim packing the Acell from the bottom (underneath scalp) will provide some regen.
And of course if it all goes to hell after im 65 years old i could just be a senior citizen with a buzzcut because no scar.
The bottom line is im not very bald right now and while I understand there are risks i want to mitigate them in an effort to never be a "man-made freak" as Spencer and Joe say on the show. In reference to scarring or weird low hairline with baldness behind it etc. etc.
The whole thing for me is about mitigating/minimizing the very real risks that come with hair transplant surgery.
Also i think PiloFocus will have less transection rates than FUE, which deals with max graft output. Another reason why we may be so adverse to FUE.Comment

Pillowfocus will NOT be anything close to a 'game changer'. It's not certain that it will even become a reality.Comment

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!Comment

I want to use pilofocus to remove my god*amn horrible transplants in the recipient area. I would prefer a little scar on top of my head than 900 little white dots when I shave bald.Comment

My scars are invisible. They almost always are, people claiming they can spot state-of-the-art FUE scars are lying.
Tell me, where are the scars? http://users.skynet.be/v-site2/fue/6-months-donor.jpgComment

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.Comment

fred, can you see my profile photo on here? ( i do not mean my Propecia avatar). What Norwood you think I am? 2or3?Comment

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.Comment

If you're spending the money to get 5-6 thousand grafts why would your hair be short in the back anyway? 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 goingComment
