It would be useless to buy? How would you use it, and what would you use it for?

Experiment, as well as curiosity.

For example I could use a dermaroller on my scalp, than apply the powder matristem, and who knows i might get a reversal in hairloss or something or nothing at all.

Better off letting the doctors do the research.

For all who have heard the live show with Dr Hitzig.... He has mentioned more then once that hes able to perserve donor hair in strip procedures and use the same are more then once. What i dont get is why Dr Cooley is not saying the same thing. This is the anwser i got regarding this from Dr Cooleys office

"In a traditional excision we do a closure called “tricophytic”. This closure allows for hair to grow directly into the incision. You also have the option to use ACell with this procedure. The fee for adding ACell is $500 which is cost only.
I do want to clarify, in a strip, the hair is not preserved, it is excised, removed and the area is closed with sutures. In the closure we use the edge of the wound is trimmed away at an angle and the opposing side of the wound is not just pulled closed but overlapped allowing the bottom edge of hair to grow into the incision. The addition of ACell insures that the tissue that is regenerated in normal tissue vs scar. It is flatter and does not have the think white appearance of a regular scar."

That means, Dr. Hitzig IS able to successfully accomplish such procedures (regrowth/regeneration of harvested donor strips - INCLUDING hair follicles!), whereas Dr. Jones failed in his 1st Acell-experiment (2008/2009)?

@Spencer and listeners - Did Dr. Hitzig really mentioned exactly this - more than once?
