The procedure that Dr. Cooley is using only plucks the hair a handful of times and so shouldnt effect the growth of the hair follicles.
Yes, but this is not waxing. It seems to me that this is harder.
Westonci, you posted photos of plucked hairs. How did you do it? Did the donor bleed?

Ive been plucking by eyebrow and nose hairs every week since highschool age (15), im 22 now and i can say that the hairs are just as thick as i remember them.
As for the pictures i posted, I used a tweezer and simply plucked hairs from the side of my scalp. I then used a digital camera with macro zoom to take the picture. And no, the hairs follicles did not bleed as far as i remember.
If your concern is that plucking will reduce or damage donor hairs, Im 99% sure it wont have any major effects on the hairs

I have just plucked one from the side of my head using pliers. Nothing at the root, just the shaft is white at the end, and ends in a small hook. But no substances.
Second attempt, the hair broke at the plier.
Third attempt with tweezers, grabbing the hair close to the skin. Now there is a distinct black bulb but no cells attached (well, just a few at 2mm from the end).
Westonci, I was meaning bleeding in the skin, at the extraction site, not bleeding in the plucked hair.

This is getting interesting Dr. Rassman has just put another comment on his blog.

More questions for Dr. Cooley:
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.
