Just an update , We met Dr .Nigam as per the scheduled appointment and had the initial procedure of extraction of a 75 hair follicles for stem cell cultivation , i also met a lady who was close to 60 years but had not benefitted with only stem cell and who had her procedure done 4 months ago.
After a few days i was called again were in they removed appx 25 follicles from my chest and gave me dp shots on my scalp
I have attached my pictures that were taken in Dr Nigams studio , one is immediately after the extraction and the rest after i cut my hair and i plan to keep my hair like this for all reviews in future, also as can be seen i still have decent amount of hair but thinning all over . here i must say that neither me nor my wife have any scars / white dots and the healing was quick which we were very happy to note , i tried clicking the pics but we are unable to get any details as hair has grown pretty nicely , probably after a week from 4 th of jan when we have the 1000 hair doubling it will be easy to do a before and after comparison of the donor area healing
No dp shots were not given to my wife ,
However as i read the posts here very often and was worried that i may not be doing the right thing by going in for this procedure i decided to meet with the Dr., which i did last week and he spent a good hour clearing up my doubts
Apart from showing me all the before and after pics he also showed be the pic of Mr.Joshi on whom he has started his procedure appx a month ago and the results seemed pretty good , i asked him to send it to me for posting it here , however he declined saying he would wait for some more time as he would want to reach a point where his claim is justified i think appx 5 month or so
To my queries following were a few of his replies
-
He has got a lot of information and study material from the forums and he was very thankful for it but however he realized he was getting too involved in clearing the accusation and casting aspersions on his work and this was taking too much of his time and hence has decided to take a break but would be back with his results on people like joshi to prove his claim
-
He pointed out that, why would a well know doctor i.e Dr.Mwamba would visit him twice, he was here for 4 days in the last visit and is learning his devised technique and implementing it in his clinic in Europe , more over Dr. Mwamba will be coming here more often and may also work on some cases here together
-
He has registered with CRO which is a local body here for clinical trials wherein he is the lead investigator and Dr. Mwamba may also be involved
-
Him being on the forum for getting more patients and making a quick buck to that i was surprised to know only 3 forum members from india have got in touch with him and looking around at the people waiting for consultation he had in his clinic he was probably doing at least 2 procedures a day , his only reason for being on the forum was for wider range of knowledge and getting a different perspective in the race to cure hair loss
-
Again if he was a fake ,few of the forum members already have had procedures with him obi, NSN, tom, boldy, weasley. OBI did not get results and he is touch with him and offered to treat him at no cost with his new protocols , weasley is at early stages and he would like wait for some time and where as others are yet to give a feedback and it up to them to update the forums and he has no control over them but at the same time they have not said anything that amounts to him being a fake
-
Further he pointed out that he travels all over the world meeting with the top researchers and is in touch with them, as his desire is to beat this curse , which he himself is faced with and he is himself undergoing all the procedure before he puts a patient through it , he also pointed out that he would be in berlin next month
7)As regards his stem cell procedure could lead to cancer, he pointed out that Aderans as among other research companies has been using stem cells close to a decade and there has not been been a single case of cancer reported
- He also requested me to start a new thread testing His invitro and denovo donor doubling with a patch test with tattoos for which i asked him to send me an email explaining the procedure which i have recreated herein below
\\\\\\"this will happen as follows…
a)invitro doubling…extraction of 10 grafts from the donor,bisection at the level of dermal cup sheath ,implantation of upper hald into the recipient and the lower half at the donor.
b)denovo doubling…extraction of 10 grafts from the donor and implantation at the recipient folowed by injections of stemcells cultured,dermal papilla cultured cells and growth factors at the donor for possible regeneration.
c)also to look for scarless procedure i.e avoidance of white dots at the donor.
OUR LAB ,NOW WE WILL BE USING AMINOMAXC100 AS THE CULTURE MEDIUM FOR DP CELLS INSTEAD OF DMEM,
A japanese study has confirmed increased dp cell trichogenicity with aminmax c100 media.Lets see what does versican marker for dp trichogenecity shows after 45 days of culture
I will take a call on the above as i have asked him to send me the info as to how i can get a non permanent tattoo and how much shaving of the head is involved as i am in sales and may not be able to shave my head or i have a area on the my left side where there is no growth of hair and if he can use that as a reference point
- In reply to the accusation on the changed before and after photos he showed me the photos and on my request sent me the below email
"Kindly find below the pics of the patient taken the day before.
The upper black mark has lightened up,and the second mark below was nothing but a small acne,this is what patient told me when i pointed him about the mark in the january pics.
i can also provide his mail id and telephone number if required,he confirmed the january before pic is his.

the above link was posted by arashi,claiming that these are two different person…which is proven wrong with these after pics taken the day before."
Based on the above i would like to add that most people who join forums do it because they would like to learn a subject / condition he or she is faced with to understand it better and take an educated decision before undergoing any form of treatment , else there are enough ads in the daily newspaper which offer miracle cures
Hence it is unlikely that if some Dr claims of a cure, a new forum member would jump to get a procedure done as was in my case, i waited nearly for a year and half and after reading a lot have decided to go ahead , all i can say is from here on i will post the pics for review and recommendations
Also i had asked this question earlier in wife’s case she will be under going 1000 graft hair doubling as she need to cover the gap on the top front of her scalp but in my case should i defer it as to see how much i can get only from stem cells and growth factors etc, as the Dr. informed me its better to do it now as the stem cell shots will help it grow healthy as well as help in the donor regeneration
