1. How difficult is to do the autocloning method? Hitzig says it is "extremely tedious". How much time do you need for each autocloned hair?
2. Have you observed the "triplication" observed by Dr. Hitzig? Dr. Hizig saw that he planted 50 plucked hairs, and 150 hairs grew!!
3. Regarding the female patient who got 1500 autocloned hairs.
Did you plant 1500 hairs, or did you plant only 500 hairs and grew 1500 hairs?

Dr. Rassman and Dr. Bernstein are two of the most honest and renowned doctors in hair restoration If they are studying the applications of Acell in their practice I think that it is a strong endorsement and it will have weight thru out
the industry. And while it is still too early to start celebrating I for one am cautiously optimistic.
In part I at around 13:00 Hitzig says he implanted 50 plucked hairs, soaked in Acell, into scar tissue, and these hairs multiplied and the result was 150 hairs growing after 8 months.
He says that for every one plucked hairs that is implanted 3 hairs will grow. Im very excited

Does anyone know if this is going to be more expensive than other hair transplants and roughly when we will be able to get something like this done?
Anyone?

Dr. Cooley is already offering it in his practice and I think I read it was $10.00/hair
So it is still expensive.

$10.00 a hair?! That's a stiff price tag. That means it would cost well over $100,000 to get a full head of hair. I have to give Acell props, but the future of hair restoration is in regenerative treatments. What I mean by regenerative is that no serious incisions have to be made-you go in, get some injections on your scalp, and your free to continue on with your life as if nothing had happened.
Acell is definitely changing the hair game but the procedure seems too tedious, which is probably why the costs are so high. I wonder if they will formulate a way of using Acell to regenerate hair...That would be cool!
