Mane Attraction

Out of curiosity, say you had FUE grafts placed along the entire length of your strip donor scar (like Spex did), could you then shave your head comfortably down to a #2 guard, or lower, without the scar being noticeable?

I've got a question here, which I'm not sure has been pondered over before. Here goes. It is said that follicles which stop producing growing hairs on account of MPB eventually go into a perpetual 'dormant' state. However, as far as I'm aware (and I may be mistaken on this), these dormant follicles still exist beneath the surface of the skin, and they're simply inactive. Hence the future possibility of "hair multiplication" being able to awaken dormant follicles, and also signal nearby dormant follicles to "awaken" and start producing healthy hair again. Now, if at some point in the future, such a cure is indeed discovered for MPB which allows dormant follicles to revert to their formerly active state, I'm curious as to how this would affect patients who've had transplanted hair placed into bald areas of their scalp where these dormant follicles exist? I doubt that today's HT doctors take into account the placement and positioning of these long-dormant follicles to avoid damaging them. So does this mean that when new recipient sites are created in the HT process, the dormant follicles beneath the skin are being damaged, transected, or destroyed? Does it mean that, should hair multiplication (or something similar) ever become a reality, potentially damaged dormant follicles in a HT patient will no longer be able to grow new hair? Also, if some dormant follicles aren't damaged by the insertion of newly transplanted grafts, how would the 'multiplied' hairs grow out, considering that there's now new hair follicles all over the place which weren't there originally? For example, the orientation of the dormant follicles may have been altered when the new grafts were implanted etc. I realize that hair multiplication technology isn't anything to write home about yet, and that it still has a LOOOONG way to go if it ever does eventuate into a viable treatment. I guess this post is just food for thought, which perhaps only a HT doctor can answer with any authority. I'm just wondering if all of us guys lining up for HT's right now, might be kicking ourselves in the distant future when we realize that all of our dormant follicles have been damaged beyond repair, at a time when the possibility of reviving them actually exists.

Hmmm, that Julie Lawlor woman sounds loose, cheap, and not quite right in the head... just like Dr. Keily's hair transplant work!

Hey Eman, I've been following your blog for quite a while now and I must say that waiting for each update is like waiting for the next episode of Prison Break to come on TV. A real cliff-hanger where you can't wait to see what happens next! Your results really look awesome, just wait till 8+ months! I'll be in Dr. Rahal's hotseat in May and if your HT experience/journey is anything to go by, then I'm far from nervous about the procedure. I'm actually more excited after seeing these 'glimpses' of how the end results will pay off, as yours obviously have. Can't wait till next month's episode!

Funny how every dissenting comment against Advanced Hair is presumed to come from a competitor with an axe to grind. What a weak attempt at trying to discredit dissatisfied customers! Chris, mate, instead of launching into these shameful ad hominem attacks and even further discrediting yourself and your company in the process, why not simply turn things around and start dealing honestly? You know that word, right? Honesty. Surely this would be much easier than periodically having to fend-off negative publicity on random Internet forums! Trust me, your posts in this thread really make it look like you're pissing against the wind. All the evidence against what you're saying can be independently confirmed. This not only makes your claims sound stupid, but also confirms that you're lying. Truly, the best way for you to save face here is to simply keep your mouth shut and your fingers off the keyboard. Or better yet, why don't you go ahead and post your peer-reviewed results, proving that laser therapy works right HERE on the forum for us all to see? Not just Truestory01, but for ALL of us. Let's see the proof of this great medical breakthrough that you have achieved. Think about it. If you weren't actually doing anything wrong, nobody would be complaining. Instead they'd be complimenting you. As it stands, your company is scum. The lowest of the low. I have a friend who recently lost his house in the Victorian bushfires in Australia. But did this fact stop AHS from badgering him over and over, trying to sign him up for their rubbish? Even after they knew he'd lost his house? Of course not. These greedy wretches still tried to fleece him. When most of the country came together to help out in a time of devastation, AHS stood by looking to profit off even fire victims. Absolutely disgraceful.
