What are their thoughts on Exosomes? Do they feel Exosomes are superior to PRP or at least equally effective?

@Curious25, like you I would LOVE to see proof, and not simply placing blind faith into what others are saying. What worries me is Exosomes aren't what these clinics are hoping for, or they haven't nailed down the process to produce consistent results. Otherwise, why wouldn't you strive to put it out there for the community to see? The returns for this procedure and adjunct procedures would surely be worth the small marketing investment. It's frustrating, and I can relate to what you're saying. There is/was a lot of positive talk from various clinics about Exosomes, but little evidence to substantiate the 'hype' surrounding it. Provided this is relatively new, we may see more in way of results down the road, but right now it's difficult to find that hope we seek in Exosomes. In the few 'results' or testimonials I've found via scrubbing the web they don't look promising as there is little to no improvement. I suppose we shall see.

@firstFUT Thank you for your write up and continual updates. I've seen many of Cooley patients as of recent post positive write ups and then disappear. I guess it's nice to know their experience was great, however pictures and ongoing progress reports does a lot for the community and prospective customers seeking reassurance when deciding if this Dr. is the right Dr. or to choose another surgeon.

Thank you, Melvin. It helps to know many of the world's best clinics have their techs placing grafts. Cooley seems top-notch. It's hard to find a bad result of his, most are positive and that gives me reassurance, not to mention his FUT scars are equally impressive.

Thank you, John. I assume Dr Cooley makes the incisions for the grafts and the techs place the grafts? Is he there the entire time? I was looking at at this board's favorites and it seems Dr Konior does quality work, but most report his prices are on a whole other level as well as his wait list. Dr. Bloxham has some nice results too, but Cooley is closest to me as I live in GA. They say don't choose a surgeon based on location, but Cooley may be an exception? Also, I am keeping a close eye on @firstFUT results, hoping they are great!

Hi Y'all, first time post long time lurker. Narrowing down docs is tough. One doc I keep coming back to is Dr. Cooley. He has good results and been in the game for a long time. I've seen solid results, such as Merlin and GrowingHair's transplants but also results that don't add up like the one from a uklad81. I also notice numerous posters speaking highly of him in various posts, but leave out photos or don't continue their updates. Sad, I wish everyone would continue to update their progress if they start but understand life sometimes intervenes. Does Cooley do all the implants, or leave it to the tech? If anyone has any intel good, bad or otherwise I'd appreciate it. It helps out! Feel free to PM me if you are more comfortable.
