They must be thinking about regenerating skin for burn victims.
I would think that once it’s FDA approved for regenerating skin (and all its organs, like follicles), that Hair Transplant patients can immediately benefit.
That is, we don’t need to wait until someone gets around to proving that donor area regrown by it can be harvested again.
All we need do is regrow the donor area and then leave it alone, going to another part of the original scalp to remove more donor hair.
In other words, HT surgeons would no longer be limited in the amount of hair they can harvest by the need to leave enough remaining to cover the back and sides.
Hey, take it all from the sides and back, because we’d be able to regrow all the skin and hair back on the sides and back.
Take me, for example, I had the old plug grafts.
I sure could use some more hair on top, but I refuse to thin my donor area any more–so no HT docs are making any more money from me, UNLESS . . .
With this new treatment, an HT surgeon could cut strips from the back of my head, harvest and transplant the follicles from it, and then regrow the skin and hair in the area where the strip came from–
Heck, I’d like that, because after it regrew, there would no longer be the holes where the plug grafts were taken from.
Absolutely great!
