Photo of FUE donor site at 24hrs and 7 days after. That's some impressive healing.

what's a wovv?

Impressive. However my question is this, is the ECM just speeding up healing or can it actually improve healing to the point where the end result is less visible scarring and less hypopigmentation rather than just quicker healing?

The general consensus seems to be that the ECM provides a scaffold, in which cellular proliferation is directed more naturally (i.e. fibrous tissue will be basketweave like instead of cross-linked in one direction, as in normal wound healing). Theoretically, this should allow melanocytes to migrate into the wounded area, hence preventing hypopigmentation.

What I'm more concerned about is the "bad experiences" I heard about Bauman...

Yeah. Plus it's almost as if he believes his own bs about LLLT but I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank. Dr. Feller took him to school on LLLT on the show a few years back. It was hilarious.

Oh? What did he say? Or at least...what didn't he say? :P

Here you go. Some funny stuff. Bauman is like "But rat studies" and "Transfers energy to the mitochondria". Feller laughs and is like "Yeah laser doesn't penetrate tissue paper let alone skin."
