Senior Member Shampoo Posted September 11, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2016 Interesting info... 96.2% of patients declared to be satisfied from the result of the implant 90.3% of patients recorded no pathology after surgery/ies. Only 5.9% presented mild infection pathologies resolution of the septic and chemical pathologies occurred in 97.9% of the cases within an average of 15 days with the use of systemic antibiotic and/or steroid local therapy. In 2.1% of the cases it was necessary to remove the fibres The implant of polyamide hairs (Biofibre®) can be considered an efficient surgical technique that allows immediate aesthetic results. In our study, hair implant technique demonstrated to be safe and well tolerated by patients. but I am still very skeptical and would like to hear from other doctors Dr. Dow Stough - 1000 Grafts - 1996 Dr. Jerry Wong - 4352 Grafts - August 2012 Dr. Jerry Wong - 2708 Grafts - May 2016 Remember a hair transplant turns back the clock, but it doesn't stop the clock.

Senior Member BadBeat Posted September 12, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2016 Imagine how nice this would be if it actually worked....if you were able to, say, use it in the crown area and then do real transplants for the hairline and mid-scalp. It would be a perfect way to compliment an HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JON86 Posted September 12, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2016 This will never work. The human body would attack it as infection and refuse it. If it came down to this I would shave my head. It is scary people think this is an option. No way this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karxxx Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 suture material and keratin. 15,000 Biofibre no objection. Science progresses . two percent of infections. The amount of titanium knees. Analgin fillings . Why not reject titanium dental driving ? A new generation of 3D breast implants are not rejected.

Senior Member Transhair Posted September 12, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've heard nothing but bad things about these, but I agree that it isn't crazy to think that the body wouldn't accept them. It's not like they have DNA and etc for you immune system to think about. Only issue I can think of is how they exit the body while most surgical stuff if all internal.

Senior Member Dutchie Posted September 12, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2016 Interesting: Hair restoration surgery: the results - Medicap Just curious, but how would the barber be able to cut your hair without cutting into the fibers as well???

Regular Member Schiller Posted September 13, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted September 13, 2016 I am sort of surprised not to see reactions from anyone who experienced hair fiber implants in the 1980s in the USA. I traveled to Indianapolis for this. I can't describe how badly that turned out. The scarring remains. And I keep two very vivid memories: my girlfriend trying to help me untangle the knotted mess that just sleeping would cause--I do mean knotted--and the doctor using a black light to see the fibers he was trying to remove. Before you figure that all that has changed, I would really do my homework. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted September 13, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2016 This technology has been around for a long time and it sort of comes and goes.

Regular Member quidproquo82 Posted September 14, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think H&W had some pictures up showing the massive scarring that results from fibrosis and rejection of the implants over time. This is not a one and done procedure because the implants shed and continually need to be maintained. If you're going to go this far, I think a far better solution would be to dense pack the frontal hairline with transplants and then wear a really good system behind this. This would be the best solution for guys who are very bald but want a very dramatic visual impact. Why even bother with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Louisjams Posted September 17, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2016 Many years ago I was in Boston and I actually met someone who had this done. It did not look the way I expected. I.e. the synthetic hairs themselves looked like the right color and texture and they layered well, but at the scalp level this looked very unnatural. Not like a HT, not like plugs, not like dolls hair, but different and unnatural in what I can only call a unique way. I could not stop staring at it.

Senior Member Louisjams Posted September 17, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2016 The other thing I will add is that I do not know how long these synthetic hairs last. I.e. they must eventually break or shear or shred. They cannot last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutchie Posted September 18, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2016 But with modern technology and anti-rejection drugs, wouldnt this crazy idea quite possibly work?? I don't know. I'm asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rug has almost zero wear and tear, and that's after 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
