FUE Donor Area Healing With ACell 3 Mo. Post-Op

[35YrsAfter]

He has no idea what a good FUE procedure is, but it's clear that his purpose is to make money. Another physician told me that the Artas was better at FUE than he was so he was going to buy one. My advice to all of them would simply be to let the company build a decent product and then buy one. Until then, they should not offer FUE. Clearly there needs to be a 10% FUE club as you mentioned. There is not a single one of these physicians or their Artas that would be in that club.

I have trained a number of physicians in FUE. Some quite frankly should not be doing FUE because they have terrible hands so I tell them this. I offer hands on training outside the US. Do you think a single Artas physician ever asked me to show them how to do FUE? Nope. Not one. It was easier to just buy the machine without ever discovering what good FUE was prior to making that investment.

Patients are demanding FUE so expect more and more to buy an Artas simply for economic reasons.

I spoke with a surgery technician who attended the recent hair restoration meeting in the Bahamas. She mentioned to me that while attending the meeting, two hair transplant doctors mentioned to her, they were considering purchasing the Robot strictly for marketing purposes.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Having worked on heavy machinery including having done my share of machining I find it interesting. I found out the hard way as many when entering codes into the CNC one small error can result in a lot of damage. Not very pleasant when the tool slams into the turret head……..lol……….but I didn’t have to pay for those mistakes………..

Yes I have always worked more than I should have and 80 hour weeks were quite common. I found out digging holes can be quite expensive and the one I was digging was rather large…………lol……………never blamed Carlos and only blamed myself for not being smart enough. Nothing to do with intelligence but understanding not everyone was like me. I couldn’t intentionally harm someone so I never understood that for others it didn’t seem to be a problem. Never expected it from a doctor they left that lesson out of my classroom studies.

I was trained by Paul Ward Phd as a fitness trainer for The Health and Tennis Corp of America back in 78 which eventually became Bally’s. Paul didn’t want Arthur Jones’ equipment in the place because he knew it was crap. But Arthur was smarter and took his message directly to the public. Before long the public demanded it and as is often true the public knows very little. Same could happen with the ARTAS so the 10% should probably step up a bit more and educate the public as it is needed. I try but I have already been banned from 2 forums. One several years ago let me know that my promotion of FUE was very dangerous and that I should just move on and good luck to me………..lol………………they seem to be singing a different tune now as do some of the reps, funny how that works. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

I always thought of starting something where the 10% could get together but to be honest I can’t see myself making a dime from this business nor should I. My interests are in the field of health and fitness and I have a device I designed several years ago that targets the core. I have built 2 prototypes over the last 7 years and hope to bring it to market. I know I move slow but it works much better for me. But I continue to post because the building is burning and I don’t like to leave people behind. Trying to put a book together on how the forums work because I find it both bizarre and fascinating.

It’s seems to me as an outside observer that the 10% have painted themselves into a corner and need to do business a certain way which is so sad. I mean I look at one forum where the person advising others actually uploads his own homemade fetish internet porn and I think my god what are these doctors thinking. No one should be making any money in this business except the doctors and their teams. Surely that 10% are intelligent enough to figure it out as they must be a better way.

Dr Cole, so you say that not only a complete new graft grew but it did produce hair long enough to Pierce the skin, all in just 4 weeks? That sounds quite impossible ?

[Boldy]

Good question Arashi. Talking from experience regarding previous ht's, everything you see in donor, in 3-8 weeks time line, are regrown transacted hairs, and maybe hairs in resting phase(telogen), that got a boost from acell/prp.

Dr. Cole, could we get an update on your regeneration studies? how are things coming along with Aminofix? Could see the pictures of your recent study?

Dr. Cole, could we get an update on your regeneration studies? how are things coming along with Aminofix? Could see the pictures of your recent study?

Dr. Cole will return to the office on Wednesday. I will ask him for more details. The short version is:

On 06-04-2014, our first patient had AmnioFix administered after his surgery. He's a local and should be able to return soon for evaluation. On paper AmnioFix looks better than ACell and PRP. Since our first patient, three others have had AmnioFix applied to their donor extraction sites.

Dr. Cole will examine our patient's donor areas under magnification for hairs growing out of extraction sites. Amniofix is expensive, so the results will need to be a significant step up from our ACell study results to justify its continued use.

Overview:
"Amniotic membrane is a unique material and its composition contains collagen types I, III, IV, V, and VII. Amniotic membrane is composed of structural extracellular matrix (ECM), that also contains specialized proteins fibronectin, laminins, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. In addition, amniotic membrane contains essential, active, healing growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).8 Amniotic tissues have shown little to no HLA-A, B, C antigens and β2 microglobulin.3"

Could you email me, or post the results from your last ACell study? I may be interested in doing my next FUE with Dr. Cole if he's getting fairly consistent regeneration..
