It's been a few years since we heard anything of Dr Carlos Wesley's Pilofocus. It was new science that would make a very small incision behind your ear, from where it gets under your scalp with an endoscope, and the donor hair would be harvested from below the skin, not from the outside as in a FUE procedure. The whole point was that there would be no visible scarring. This thing was however harshly criticized by both Dr Cole and Dr Rassmann. Some Dr, I don't remember which one, claimed it would lead to tremendous scarring underneath the scalp or even severe nerve damage.
Wesley appears to have abandoned the project to concentrate more on family, but he remained convinced it would work. The main point of interest, for me, was the outlandish claim and Wesley's study that it would lead to donor regeneration, basically hair multiplication. Sounded like some claims made by Dr Gho. And Wesley supposedly proved that the donor was regenerating. Is this science? Why, and how, would the donor regenerate with a device like this?
