    Anybody can explain, what are mechanics of transplantation with pilofocus method? If it leave no scars so how hair can be taken from donor zone and be injected into bald zone without damaging scalp?

    It absolutely is changed.

    Hairloss is progressive so, with a scarless procedure, you can get a transplant and enjoy your 20s, 30s, and 40s. Then, as your hairloss progresses, you just shave down with no evidence of a procedure.

    Is it a cure? No.

    But does it give you decades more of hair? Absolutely.

    Don't say this isn't a game changer -- it opens up surgery to everyone concerned about progression and scarring.

    it is announced in one of his websites:

    Dr. Wesley has been invited as a featured speaker at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Conference. This 31st Annual Scientific Meeting entitled "Technological Advancements in Cosmetic Surgery" will showcase some of the world's top surgeons with sub-specialties ranging from Rhinoplasty to Liposuction. The presentation will take place on January 14th, 2015 in New Orleans, LA and a preliminary schedule of presentations can be viewed.

    Dr. Wesley has been invited to present on the Technology panel, "Advancements in Hair Restoration." Specifically, the presentation is to focus on the novel sub dermal approach to intact hair follicle harvesting (piloscopy) that has demonstrated a 45% improved survival rate over traditional follicular unit extraction (FUE). These findings are statistically significant. As the Founder and CEO of Pilofocus, a surgical device company dedicated to the development of this hair follicle harvesting technology, Dr. Wesley has presented the original findings from piloscopy at the International Society of Hair Restoration (ISHRS) Conference in 2013. This presentation, however, will include updated information regarding not only findings in the donor and recipient areas, but also the experiences of patients who have undergone this surgical procedure.
