Hi
I met a doctor recently who promissed excellent results with Stem cell mesotherapy. He showed me the pics of his patients who were treated with stem cell mesotherapy and I am surpirsed to see great results.

I am planning for that.There would be 4 to 6 sittings. Stem cells with derma-rollers will help to activate dead or dormant hair follicles and regenerate new hair.

Did any one underwent this? I am sure that its not a scam as it is performed by qualified doctors and not beauticians. Expecting comments on this

Thanks

Mesotherapy is a very old technique which is slated to cure a variety of conditions. For a number of years, it's been used for a variety of purposes in cosmetic medicine, but I'm not actually certain it's ever demonstrated acceptable results.

I've seen physicians advertising its ability to melt fat, sculpt subdermal tissue, reduce pain, and regrow hair; I've also seen board certified plastic surgeons and the American Academy of Dermatology release statements claiming it is unproven, ineffective, and provides patients with false hopes.

While I don't want to boldly state that it is a poor treatment, I do feel confidently stating that I've heard many reputable sources dismissing mesotherapy and note a serious lack of legitimate evidence.

While I'd be very curious to investigate further, I don't think any legitimate hair loss expert would recommend it as a proven hair loss treatment.

If you would like to share some more information (while adhering to our terms of service), I'd be happy to learn and investigate further!

All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

Agreed,

Mesotherapy is old technique where you make fine holes in skin with derma-rollers which increases penetration of minoxidil and hair-growth vitamins and minerals by 400% ore more.

Here my main interest is stem cell. Stem cells of hair follicles have the ability to regrow when they are activated. I dont know in detail about the procedure, I would like to know if any one is aware from our forum.

Some points on stem cell treatment

1) Hair growth is permanent
2) New hair growth would take 6-8 weeks to start.

I have also tried to transplant my hair and the result was not satisfactory.
