....also, probably one of the biggest potentials Wesley has mentioned recently is the incubating of the donor hair in PRP+ACell just before transplanting -- supposedly the transplanted hairs did not shed but just kept growing..

...now what a "how do you do" is that?? Just transplant and you have instant coverage, albeit short buds, but it's coverage...this is reeeeeeally exciting

All the focus should be put into regeneration though. Sure BHT and a little more grafts is nice, but since many guys have hair loss thats progressive, ultimately they are bound to become NW7 or are already at that stage. Regeneration will completely fix that. Sure it would take a number of procedures, but at least you'll sleep easily knowing that you'll have the option of complete/near complete reversal.

Instant coverage with immediately growing hairs, scarless, etc... those are all just bonuses. Regeneration would be the holy grail for hair transplants and doctors performing it, effectively allowing them to have patients return for multiple procedures and increasing their revenue 2-4X (4 times because 4,000 grafts is typical, complete coverage would be around 16,000 grafts... sounds like a dream).

16000 grafts will cost nearly $100K...that ain't a dream, that's sick...

$6.25/graft?

That's a WILD estimate. Nobody charges that much... especially when you consider prices drop when the graft count is higher.

I recently went in for my second consult and to schedule my hair transplant for feb.

currently building the balls to call in today at 4pm est

I asked the Doctor, who is pretty honest (but asked others as well on other consults who all just came back from the conventions) if any new procedures looked like they were on the horizon.

He told me nothing now and prob for another 10 years or so

Are you guys will to wait for this new procedure?

Are you willing to put all your eggs into one basket and hold out not getting anything now in the hopes this will be the next be all end all like propecia, cloning, multiplication ect?

Pilofocus will be out this year. That's pretty much gauranteed. Artista from BTT is going to be one of Dr. Wesley's test patients around April.

Of course he'll tell you that there is nothing in the horizon, and it's a lie. Pilofocus will be available soon and will be superior to FUE.

Your surgeon is not honest, I would consider another one. Who is it by the way?

these guys.

I went on 5 consults. These were the guys I liked the best.

This pilofocus still just seems like a version of FUE. Whats so different about it? Even their own site says nothing

It's a device that digs underneath the skin and extracts follicles like sucking a carrot from underground. Grafts retain their properties much better, survival rates are higher. As I've mentioned before (perhaps here or BTT) is that while Dr. Cole mentioned that he saw some regeneration with ACELL but said the possible reason for regeneration not being as high as he'd like is due to leakage. If this is correct, leakage should be completely resolved if ACELL is packed underneath the skin.

How can digging underneath the skin be less invasive?

not arguing, just curious

+1, sounds more invasive but maybe less scarring? less healing time

nono guys they make a tiny hole like a cm and they push in the instrument in a level that skin has fat and then ultrasound cam detects the follicle and pulls it sucks it underneath. almost 0 wounding.very cool but without regen just cool

Honstly the guys Im scheduled with showed me their utensils and said they have a very high yeild rate with FUE and basically no scarring. Im not being argumentive, so please dont take it that way.
Im pretty excited because hes going to take donors hairs from the head and even try some from the body (for a density test) but already explained how they do it so its not obvious.
Of course he showed em the before/after pics but I never trust those from ANYBODY.

I made my GF sit in the second consult with me, and even she was pretty impressed and thought they were super meticulous which is a big deal from her.
I think anytime I start to stick my toes in the water of hair transplant I get scared and let things like this make me wait. Im 34 now and think if Im going to do it now is a decent age to start because my hair loss is still able to be assumed and followed and I can keep adding density as more pops out, plus rolling and using my minoxidil.

And who know when this comes out perhaps jump on this wagon as well.

He wants me to come back after a couple months during the healing to try their stem cell treatment. I think its complete bull**** even after reading stuff on the web. They are one of 3 places doing it in the US (who knows why, perhaps cause its bull****) which is one of the things that made me go there in the first place.

just wish me luck. Ill have 3 weeks to cancell should a miracle or emergency arise.

Yeah after watching the videos it does seem much less invasive, almost 0 scarring, possible regeneration and available, I am vain enough to pull half the equity in my house which would cover the 100k for 16000 hairs

swingingline good luck just go. choose a nice hairline that suis you , an aggresive since youre muscled up.aggrssive hairlines reflect nice ....lol. now if i were you i would go even at my age. 10 years younger. but my friend you are in america. you have already many clinics not only hair clinics offering prp injections. just do a hair transplant add some prp injections , add some roller hardly. add some SMP ;) smp is a must if you ask me. it only helps ..... ;) :). and ofcourse visit the doctor sara brown for saba gel // she gives it only to americans bad for me. saba gel is a miracle. after stopping rolling for a break lets say i would add emu oil castor oil and tee trea oil. leave it all night. first roll with a 05mm for penetration reasons. but when you roll like we do for wounding reasons . dont use oils. and ofcourse in the era that you will stop rolling for a while start using nizoral shampooo. and ofcourse if i were you in america i would do shockwave therapy it reverses inflamation wthin. and last thing buy a merc add some vossens. i wish i was american.

I think that one was private and may remain so, I'm not sure. It's hard to keep up with all the information available from every emerging biotech, doctor, discovery, etc. Seems like the last 3-5 years have seen the MOST progress ever in search of a cure for hair loss. All of this combined, my memory gets a bit hazy...

It was a number brought up, I realize cost would drop for that many grafts I am just saying to me It would be worth it for sure thing if this turns out to be that????? Big If, and I think that's the case for most people
