I think if done properly plucking hairs can also benefit a NW7 person.

If you say this in response to my comment, I certainly do think if plucking works well for someone with more hair, it will work as well for someone with less. I simply don't know that the method — if it cannot produce a truly infinite supply of donor hairs — will be able to bring a Norwood 7 back to the appearance of someone with no balding, whatever, whereas it may be able to do this for, say, a Norwood 4.

What would be the cost per graft for this technique as compared to FUT and FUE?

So, is there conclusive evidence now that 1) Plucked hairs are replaced by new ones. 2) Plucked hairs can be used for transplantation with a good survival rate ? Also, if this is proven to be a viable procedure, does any one know when it's going to be available ?

I'd like to know if the plucked hairs are actually full terminal hairs also, I read back in 2006 that plucked hairs can be transplanted but they were not full terminal hairs because although when a hair is plucked it maintains key components of the regeneration process, the real 'meat' of what you need to regenerate a full follicle remains in donor.
