Hi All,
I have been researching the stem cell treatments for some time now and as someone had mentioned Dr. Nigams procedure I thought I would add my two bits to it. If I remember correctly I spoke to one of their clinics about 3 months ago and they were willing to provide a free hair transplant if the results of the procedure are not satisfactory. That sounded great but when I actually asked as to the success rate and the number of people who have had the procedure, I received vague responses. They did not seem convincing at all.
There are many other offering stem cell treatments, but most of them inject stem cells derived from other sources, I am guessing adipose tissue. They say the procedure requires 6-8 injections spread over a couple of months but results should be evident from the 3rd session or so. Anyone have any experience on this ??? Photographs look convincing, but one can never tell if their for real....
Another promising player in the market is someone who has developed a product called QR678. Apparently they are waiting for FDA approval and it costs a fraction of the stem cell procedure. Also an Indian doctor, operating under the name, The Esthetic Clinic. Amongst all the procedures out there, this was the only one under FDA trials that I have heard of.
I myself am confused as to whether I should go in for stem cell treatments or not. Worst case scenario they provide me with a free hair transplant, but I am completely unaware of any side effect of the procedure and I could not find much online. Most side effects relate to stem cell treatment for other ailments.
