Pilofocus - snakeskin?

Dr. Wesley is one of his competitor, of course he will not praise his new procedure and risk losing clients and make them want to wait for pilofocus.
That said, he might be right. I'm not sure if we should all be that enthusiastic for this new technique.

We have no pictures or scientific material to base the claims that this is a valid procedure and I would imagine it would be very difficult and time consuming.
But conversely, there is also no evidence to the contrary either.
So really he is just making empty baseless statements, with no scientific evidence to prove otherwise.
There was a video explaining pretty clearly how it worked, maybe he missed it.
It's pretty easy for anyone to be a naysayer, before the thing is actually released. But why do that?
Maybe they just want to stick with selling FUT/FUE.
All you have to do is wait and see what comes of the clinical study trials
Then we will have a clearer picture of how it really is.
The results of the first trials will probably be around Summer of 2014.

It's possible that Piloscopy won't work out but I'd be very surprised if it was a "scam".
We know that Dr. Wesley (and team) are working on new tooling and instrumentation and they acknowledge that it's "three steps forward, one step back" -- that's how engineering projects go.
Finally, Dr. Wesley does say that initially the technique will only be applied to small cases and then, as the process improves, ramp up to be able to do large sessions.
In this sense, I suppose, Piloscopy doesn't sound like a miracle, it sounds like a product of science and engineering that will get better/cheaper over time. Just like FUE, just like knee surgery, just like cataract surgery, just like...

Good point bigentries. There's also no evidence that dog poop doesn't work to regrow your hair.

Not to be a jerk, but people on hair loss forums use that logical fallacy way too much
And just to voice my opinion, Rassman can be an ass sometimes, and yes, he antagonizes with the competition, but his point is completely valid, at least at the moment

First of all, HASCI is scarless (well ok, there ARE scars of course but they're so small that they're really hard to notice with the naked eye). Secondly, the theory is to pull the graft from beneath so why would there be a scar if the skin is never even penetrated ?
Of course it still needs to be proven in practice, but I don't see any problems with the theory.
