Easing the paradigm shift in Hair transplantation - Pilofocus

[Premium]

Since piloscopy (Pilofocus), the technique pioneered by Dr Carlos Wesley, will finally be approved by the FDA this year, I would like to propose that we start talking and asking our hair transplant surgeons to adopt this technique. I cannot see but advantages and the cost should not be higher than FUE. Physician time, the main cost driver, is lower (harvesting takes 1 hour for 1000 grafts, so a 3000 grafts procedure should not take more than 5 hours).

Let's help move technology adoption faster than what happened with FUE, which has taken 10 years to overtake FUT.

I have spoken with the surgeon that performed my first procedure and he believes that this is a game changer. Many of his patients are worried about scarring and having to cut their hair, so he will try and learn pilofocus!
