Doubt cast on 'regrown finger', Acell may have exagerated. (Hair Multiplication & Research)

» Here's a million-dollar question:
»
» Among the known cases of accidental hair regrowth on bald guys from
» various types of scalp wounds . . . DOES THAT NEW HAIR EVER BEGIN TO BALD
» AGAIN?
»
»
»
»
»
» As for replenishing FUE work?
» Let's do the math here:
»
» It's gonna be hard to keep the raiding inside the safe-zone and get any
» more than 2-3000 grafts per session. (Espeically if the doc tries to stick
» to picking mostly 3-4 hair grafts in order to get some real density
» accomplished.)
»
»
» 20,000 grafts for a major resto + 2-3000 grafts a session + 9-12 months of
» regrowth before transplanting on top of the last work each time =
»
» 6-10 years of yearly buzz-downs and surgeries
» to get 20K grafts.

»
»
»
»
» At $7 or 10/graft, the bill for 20K grafts =
»
» $140,000 or $200,000.

»
» These are not just minor problems IMO.

» Replenishing FUE grafts is a lot better than no HM at all, but it's not
» the ideal way of getting major amounts of hair back.

Well you’re basing this on today’s numbers but those numbers are only influences by the limitation of today’s technology. Secondly, have you noticed that over the years the cost of HT has been becoming more affordable? And lets not forget this is cosmetic surgery and it's never going to be cheap.

If this theory about Acell restoring donor graphs works and the fact that unlimited donor supply is a reality then as I stated, HT will be very common place thus driving the cost down. Honestly we really need another “ah-ha” moment in HT and I guess HM is it but to think that some other form of cure will replace HT is not realistic. In my opinion HT will always be the primary method to cure hairloss but we need new technology to enhance the existing methods.

In regards to FUE session, we are now seeing mega FUE session. I read at another forum Armani recently completed a FUE session ranging above 5000 graphs. Now, I wouldn’t do it in fear of what it would do to my donor area but if those graphs can be restore, I would jump right in. Oh, and the guy with the severed finger stated his finger was back to normal in 4 weeks. Could you imagine how quickly a small area of skin and follicle would take to grow back?
