    Guys keep in mind that Artista is a subject in a clinical trial which is run by someone other than him. It's run by Dr. Wesley. Since Dr. Wesley runs the clinical trials that means that Dr. Wesley has total control over who's in the trials, who gets dropped from the trials, who gets to stay in the information loop, who gets kicked out of the information loop, and stuff like that. If Artista does something (like posts pics before Dr. Wesley gives the go-ahead) then Artista could be dropped by Dr. Wesley and/or Dr. Wesley could take Artista out of the information loop. When you're in a clinical trial you're beholding to the person who runs it.

    All of that having been said, you guys are rude and mean. Artista is sharing what he can at this point.

      At this point in time there is no reason to post photos.
      I am a part of Dr Wesley's 3rd phase testing.
      In time photos will be posted but it's going to be up to Dr. Wesley as to when that happens.
      No worries.
      I'm posting to let everybody know that the third phase testing is on going now!
      It's important to let everybody know that. Hey Nameless , i'm a professional artist , that's a portrait of John Lennon that I did some time ago

        I just read your latest response Nameless and I thank you!!
        All that you have said is very correct.
        This 3rd Phase Testing of Dr Wesley's is on-going and there is no way as yet to show anything.
        Eventually all info and photos will be shared by the Doctor once it is time to do so.
        Although there are some here that somewhat overreact and at times insult I do not take offense to any of it. No one should ever ASSUME anything.
        I am always on here to try to help others, especially the very young ones.
        To respond to Kirklandism's question, Dr, Wesley had done 523 grafts on to my scalp.
        23 follicles were taken from the donor area via the Pilofocus phase test using his speciallized endoscopic tools.
        The regeneration applications have been placed in there!
        Hopefully it will turn out the same way it did during Dr Wesley's first Phase Testing he had done in 2013.
        Not everyone has seen those findings from 2013, I was one of those that did see the 45 minute factual explanations/photos.
        Those end results were AMAZING but of course, it is still as yet an anecdotal finding.

        That is why there is the 3rd phase testing underway now.

          Thank you for the update Artista!
          Artista may I ask when are you coming back for control?
          Also how will this phase testing last?
          And once this phase testing is finished does Dr. Wesley plan to have another one?
          Yeah one lastquestion, can you at least take the photo of the scar through which pilofocus was applied?

          All that said if pilofocus ends being capable of donor regeneration that is a massive game changer...

            Hi there Sogeking,
            What i am doing now is to take care of my grafts and the donor area which has the specialized Pilofocus phase testing inside.
            The 3rd Phase testing will altogether have approx. 27 patients. So this will take some time to complete.
            I have no idea as to if there will be yet another phase test after this 3rd one.
            Time will tell of course.
            I can ask Dr. Wesley if in fact i can post any initial photos of my phase test.
            The only scar that could possibly be seen would be a SMALL ONE from the Endoscopic instrument.
            There is NO linear scaring with this type of new treatment.

              Artista you say you had 23 follicles taken via pilofocus. Were the other 500 taken via FUE? Or is this a typo?

                  what for??? what's the point of doing 500 FUE grafts when it's all about the new pilofocus technique?

                    Why not?
                    The main focus of the phase testing is that of the donor area regeneration aspect in correlation to his FUE work

                      doesn't make sense at all.
                      ok, maybe for his study and documentation he needs a direct comparison with FUE, but why so many? why not take e.g. 50 FUE extractions versus 50 pilofocus extractions as direct comparison?
                      and why are you even willing to get 500 FUE punches when the main advantage of pilofocus is to be scarless? the anecdotal donor regeneration will be proven to be non-existent or not efficient enough anyway.
                      if the purpose of this phase testing is to proof donor regeneration, then 500 FUEs compared to only a handful pilofocus extractions don't really make sense.

                        Why does he think his technique is supposed to lead to donor regeneration? It's not obvious to me why a follicle would return.

                          Yes I tend to agree if it was for comparison why take so many FUE and so little pilofocus. Very strange

                            Hi Artista,

                            Glad you finally got into the phase testing. You have spoken about donor regeneration but I have heard Dr. Wesley say several times that they had only worked on cadavers when people started talking about regeneration (which would obviously be impossible). I am wondering why you believe in the regeneration aspect, have you seen donor regeneration on real patients? If yes, is it true significant regeneration?

                            Thanks.

                              It is good to see that something is going on in HT industry.

                              BUT 23 pilo vs 500 FUE grafts is a bit disappointing, 50 grafts each on a small square would be much more desirable

                              He seems nice, honest and genuine and i Hope he speeds this up or else other players will come in and steal the show


                              Dr Christophe Guillemat from barcelona recently named his new cloning technique Stem Cell Transfer (SCT), he already completed one test and is about do big trials where he will transfer a few thousands stem cells in one go, if all good it will be avail from September.
                              He seems very transparent and active on his websites blog

                                Don't get me wrong, I am very thoroughly impressed with Dr. Wesleys work, you'd be a fool not to be... the only factor I am having trouble comprehending is the follicle regeneration. I don't see how this technique would be able to remove so much tissue and just expect the follicle to start functioning again at a normal level. I think the main benefit we will see with his technique is minimal scarring.
