It does sound exciting and from what has been posted here, I think Dr. Wesley is wise not to post the details until he has completed his trials and is satisfied the procedure is scalable and produces the results it seems like it will. Additionally, since he developed it he has every right to protect his investment and everyone should respect that. I am sure that once he has done those things he will happily share everything and that his technique will spread to other doctors. Until the price point comes down, no doubt FUT will be around for a long time regardless of how successful the new technique is, especially since FUT has such a successful outcome itself. I must say that the thought of no scarring to speak of and a very rapid recovery is very exciting for the future!

I believe 57 mph comments were directed toward me. If they were I would like to clarify what I actually said compared to what is apparently his lack of reading ability. I said and im paraphasing - stem cells are the future of medicine and there is no reason to believe this would not include hairloss-. It amsuses me he made the comment "this is incorrect", as he is speaking completely ignorantly as he has no knowledge of the results, unless he can see into the future of course. This is just a blank satement that cant be substantiated by any empiracle facts. The following statement is indicative of his thought process. "i'm a little more excited about this sort of development than say acell, histogen, replicell etc as it's development in an other way, or is that because i don't know enough about the technique yet so it is more intriguing than anything". Just because you are more excited about one thing does not mean that in any way im right or wrong. My statement of "stem cells are the future of medicine" is substantiated by the tens of millions of dollars the hopsital I work fpr spent on stem cell development research in 2010. Also my statement is substantiated by fellow perfusionists and surgeons that are concered about the viability of the profession as theoretically stem cells could replace all forms of surgery that I am aware of. The difference between our comments is, mine are based on fact and not emotion.

I want to make this clear. I think hair transplantation is the best current treatment for hairloss period. If doctor Wesley has developed a better way of doing this i think it is great news. If the publication of replicel shows bad results I will be the first in line to schedule a transplant. I just wanted people to be aware a revolutionary treatment COULD have been discovered, there is nothing irresponsible about that.

DISpHAIR, my post wasn't directed directly to you no, but to everyone who might be reading the thread, that's how forums work you see.

If i was directly speaking to you i'd have pm'd you or at the very least started my post with you profile name (see my post here for clarification) but never mind.

Ok, so back to thread...

Hey, I am not an authority figure in anyway, but I don't like any animosity on here, we are all here to help each other, not attack one another. I suggest the two of you do this privately, and not on the public forum. Negativity is NOT welcome here.

Hey everybody, I was mistaken earlier when I said that Dr. Wesley is no longer taking new test subjects for his trials. He is no longer accepting people who have undergone FUT/Strip surgery, he has as many of us as he needs. He is still taking people with "Virgin" scalps, those who have not yet had surgery. I am not sure about those who have had FUE surgery though. Sorry for the miscommunication. If you are still interested, and meet the criteria, contact him via email.
Cheers,
-Trees

Thanks for everyone's participation on this highly intriguing topic.

I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with Dr. Wesley in person and just recently, spoke with him via Skype video conferencing to learn more about the new technique he's innovating to eliminate hair transplant scarring.

While he certainly has his work cut out for him in the phases to come, I'm very excited about what he's done so far and seeing how this develops in the coming months.

Dr. Wesley has every intention of sharing his new technique in great detail with our patient community. However, after speaking with him, I can certainly understand why he's waiting until his trials in all phases of the procedure are complete.

I know we all look forward to learning more as Dr. Wesley's innovative technique to eliminate scarring evolves. But ultimately, if it works like we all hope, it could truly revolutionize the hair transplant profession.

Best wishes,

Bill

I'm very excited to see what it is! While I'm glad Dr. Wesley is waiting for everything to be complete, I'm very curious as to what he is up to!

I don't understand the secrecy here. If you patent a medical procedure, even patent pending, you can share the details of how it works freely without losing any of your intellectual property protection.

Therefore I see no benefit in keeping the process so secretive.

Everything and Nothing is a secret on these hairloss forums, it's that you have to sift through the all and nothing to get to the good stuff and even then it may end up bumff, ie rubbish!

Let's see where this one goes...
