Hello Dr Mwamba Can you give a rough estimate of when you think you will know if the treatment works and is viable? Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member crafter Posted November 3, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2013 all kicking off on TBT. Is Nigam a real Doctor? why did his web developer have photoshopped photos? why doesn't Nigam ever put up good photos and keep his word? Why does his website claim his lab is fda licenced? do the fda even have authority in India? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Patrick Mwamba Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi Crafter , Right now , we are reviewing Dr Nigam's protocols and we are designing the study protocol .There is parameters to follow ( such as hair density , hair caliber ,Cross section trichometry , before and after pictures , number of grafts ,...).Dr Nigam had his own protocol of surgery ;we have our own .We should study how we can put everything together so there is a way to analyse the data objectively . We have also to be aware of intellectual properties about protocols and it should be covered so everybody can be open in the process.While lawyers and administratifs staff are putting all of that together , we are working on establishing protocols . Then we will start the second phase : selection of candidate with specific criteria . We are planning to start in January if we do not find any delay with paper work . From previous experiences , we know it takes about 3 months to start noticing some changes when you do hair transplant .At 6 months , most of the time results start to talk by themselves and it takes about 1 year for full result . If we start in January , our first observations will be available around April . and by July, we will start to see some evidence and by December , the first conclusions .As we can not rely on one or two patients ,we will keep selecting patients from January to June and adjust our protocol as we go .Therefore , the conclusion of this study will be made around June 2015 and we can objectively say if the technique is viable or not . Of course as we progress , we may find new ideas , and hopefully all of this will bring us one step forward in our quest to resolve hair loss and provide cutting edge technique and great ,natural and undetectable results . I will be in India at the end of this month to hopefully finish our paperwork and see how we will move from there . In the meanwhile , let's hope and pray for the best to come ...

Senior Member Drnigam Posted November 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 9, 2013 Dear sK07, Yes, it all started with this pic.. Dear Future doc,i am posting only doubling and HM pics,as mentioned by you in the earlier post. I have already posted full face photos to prove the allegation false . Have a look yourself at the full face pics..and confirm that the patient in the before and after is the same. Also it is alleged that I said that the before picture is of 7 months before. And the before picture as per photo software picture is two months old. Kindly read my first post regarding this pictures, where I never mentioned that the before picture is 7 months old but I said that after picture is post 7 months of the first injection. Again I do not blame skeptics for doubting when I first posted the same without full face photo,in 7 months.. weight,length of hair, lighting,angle could create doubt. We can only post pics of the patients with full face ,only when the patient allows.

Senior Member lucldh Posted November 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for clarifying his doubts, Dr. Nigam. You really seem to be onto something. One small suggestion: your website is very unorganized. It will be great if you can take care of that. Also, as you know that many people are comfortable with English language, so it will be good if you can do away with issues related to sentence formation and grammar. Dear sK07,Yes, it all started with this pic.. Dear Future doc,i am posting only doubling and HM pics,as mentioned by you in the earlier post.

Senior Member Drnigam Posted November 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 14, 2013 SK07, Arashi will keep me busy. wesley never said that his procedure has failed in 4 months. It is Arashi who again started at BT, claiming wesley's procedure, he is good in scaring people.He will come up with one controversy every fortnight...hope so not earlier..thanks for giving my time to rebutt..as i do not post photos at bt,arashi takes advantage..by coming to his own conclusions... Kindly have a look at the before picture's of wesley and also compare the same with after 4 months pictures posted by wesley at BT yesterday. It is been alliged that his donor is depleted without even checking out is shaved donor, as I have extracting only 1024 grafts from the donor scalp.They were bisected in vitro, 1635 bisected grafts were implanted with the receipient and approx 450 grafts were implanted back of the donor scalp. How can 1024 grafts deplete suddenly. It is only when wesley shaves his donor and compares with the before pictures, we can know that exact scenario. Not just because pro hair clinic recommend him scalp micro pigmentations (Although he had scalp micro pigmentations this is mind) 631 grafts were extracted from the beared. 150 grafts sent to the lab. 431+ grafts were implanted at receipients without doubling. 50 grafts were implanted on his FUT scalp as a test procedure for a second session. So that the next session we can fill the FUT scar with beard grafts in the next session. Fees paid only 1600 US $, since he was in boldy's friend that is, cost to cost. Which can be return any time after one year of procedure, if the patient does not get desired result, not before that. Result what should be expected at the end of one year should be as follows. 1. Total 1635 invitro bisected grafts should grow back at the frontal scalp and interior vertex. 2. 431+ beard grafts should grow at his receipient by the end of one year. 3. 631 extraction holes at beard should not show any white dots. Already we can not see 631 blank spots at his beard. Yes density at beard extraction sites as it was mainly normal beard FUE. 4. Even though he has not received any multiplied Stemcells and DP Culture, I am still expecting donor regeneration of more than 450 bisected grafts implanted at the donor. As he was applying nano growth factors, A cell like ECM. To analysed the sucess of his procedure, wesley need to shave his donor every three months, and take pics of beard and receipient and post to us.

It seemed Boldy wanted to go there also for his experiment so we staid at same hotel. arrived at mumbai i got picked up at the airport of mumbai by a driver of dr nigams , they drived me to the hotel (4-star svenska hotel) verry nice hotel with options to eat european foods... after a good nightrest , i got a phonecall of dr nigams to arrange a hour of pickup , so we can talk and see what is possible. when arriving in the clinic dr nigams was waithing for me at the reception , he is verry nice and realistic for what is possible and what my expectations are... to save time for the next day they suggest to shave my head for extraction , i asked dr nigams if its possible to keep my hair long on top , they could to the transplant without of shaving on top , so the nurses only shaved the sides and back of the head , so i got a hairstyle that still covers my head on top , to keep it as invisible for my work and friends as possible when i return to belgium... dr nigams showed me his other clinic , so he has 2 clinics in mumbai , and i have seen his testperson in real life with the tatoo-dots on his donor and recipiant for his hairdoubling case studie , and seen also the regrowth on the frontal zone on this testperson with his activated stemcell injections.* dr nigams asked me if i had done a bloodtest , every patient needs to do a bloodtest to check bloodvalue and check for hiv , i have done 2 transplants in the past but i had never been asked to do a hiv bloodtest before , its for patient and staff safety he told me , so its verry safe to do a hairtransplant in india , sinds your first checked in his clinic , before they do any procedure... so his nurses taked some blood for lab-tests , and after this i got back at the hotel to rest some more. the next day , procedure time... i got picked up at the hotel and deliverd to the clinic , here the reception called the lab to know the blood-test results , so this was a bit stressy to see what they find after getting all the bloodtest results everything was good , no hiv thankgod and with the other tests they see if your blood is not to thin or anything else ,everything was good the nurses escorted me to the clinic on the first floor , they applyed prylox on the donor and recepiant area , a local anesthetic so you feel the priks less of the anesthetic-syringes. they also use ice with the injections so you dont feel any pain, after a few pain-checks they started to extract the donorhairs , after a few hours they extracted a total of 1042 grafts that they doubled with cutting under thereoscopic microscope with androidsystem on top (so i could follow it to see how they cut my grafts) i got to eat a bit upstairs , while they complete the doubling procedure, they coock or order whatever you want to eat...* after doubling they had 2084 grafts , to ensure donor recovery and keep backup on my donor for future procedures they put 450 grafts back in the donor.. the remaining 1634 grafts are inplanted in the hairline and frontal zone of the head , to densify the frontal zone more.. also a part of my chesthairs where extracted also , for dp survival , to boost the grafts , they inject activated stemcells with prp and growthfactors in donor and recepiant zone. before i forget , the grafts are injected in the skin , no slits... so no bleeding... and grafts are verry tight deep in the skin , at the end they clean everything and apply ecm cream with growthfactors mixed in and put it on the donor and recepiant zone to boost healing , and apply some bandage to keep donor protected and keep of any swellings in the face. they gave me a spraybottle with growthfactors in it , to spray on the recepiant zone , and some medications : anti-inflammatory , antibiotics and other... the staff on the clinic work hard , the doubling and inplantation between my long hair on top makes it just more difficult and takes some more time to complete , in the evening the driver takes me back to my hotel so i can rest for the procedure next day. next day i had good breakfast in the hotel and got picked up by nigams driver... at the clinic the doctor discuss what my options are , we go for extraction of beardhairs , and double these , to densify the crown and mid section of the head , the first day i allready talked this over also , so i had allready trimmed my beard in the hotel , to safe time... they applyed prylox on the beard and recepiant zones (mid section + crown) after local anesthetic on the beard they started difuse extraction of beardhairs... after extraction they started to double the beardhairs , they told me that its limited this doubling sinds they can only double straith beardhairs , and alot are no suitibel for doubling... so while they doing the doubling i go to the upper floor to eat my orderd chicken sandwich from subway sandwiches... after a good meal i was escorted back to the procedure room , where the staff was waithing to start local anesthetics on the mid section and crown , the extracted hairs ( 631 grafts) where doubled for 200 grafts more , so the total grafts where 831 grafts. the inplantation took a bit longer now sinds they need to follow the crown hairdirections , beardhairs where difuse injected in mid-section and crown area... i didnt had much notice of the hours that goes by sinds i was watching englisch movies that i had chosen ( he has sattelite tv with large choise of englisch movies , all new movies) they also extract more chesthairs for again , graft dp support , and got injections of his activated stemcells with prp and growthfactors.... after the procedure they put on every zone some ecm cream with growthfactors mixed in , to boost healing... it was in the evening and i got drived back at my hotel , i eat there something from the roomservice and talked with my family some , and go to my bed to sleep. the next days i go to the clinic for some checkups, cleaning bandages and for a few injects with prp , growthfactors (not sure if this time there was also activated stemcells, cant remember) i got also some tubes ecm creme with me for in the hotel , i must say that i did not had any pains , not in the procedure , and not after the procedure , so the optional painkillers they gave me i didnt take these , also the healing is spectacular , i had never seen so fast healing , dont know if this is from his stemcells or prp or growthfactors , maybe its the combination that does the trick , also i have seen on my chest that the extracted grafts are recovering, first time i see new hairs growing out of extracted holes... almost 30 extractionpoints on the chest grow new hairs, there many grafts that look thicker and grow faster then hairs that are arround the extracted zone , verry strange... a few hairs i helped to get trough the skin , dont know if i need to do this , or that the hairs over time push trough , but a few holes i push on the skin a bit and i pull hairs out the skin that are 1 cm in length , or even longer... is it with his activated stemcells , or the growthfactors , i have never seen anything like this before... and i had watched them removing the chesthairgrafts , they dubbelchecked at the end , so how is this possible ? you can forget a graft its possible , but i have seen 30 grafts generating new hairs ? so this i my revieuw for now , ill be posting updates with pictures... for now this are my update pictures for now : also have i documented the regrowth hairs on the chest so you see clearly they grow out of the extracted holes... i'm curious what the results will be , if this work , yes or no , time will tell.... ps sorry for my English its not to well. from 300+ extracted hairs , are growing 30 back , with thicker density then the remaining bodyhairs , and they grow faster... also i helped 10 hairs getting trough the skin , dont know if they would go trough over time... dont know why i see here regrowth , i applyed also a high dosed growthfactormix , or is it because the activated stemcell , not sure... but its clear that its new hair , growing out of the extractiondots... I could not be in touch with wesley after the procedure, but boldy was updating his progress to me... Also find few pics sent by boldy through his phone ,hence blurred...you can see good growth in 3/4 months at boldy's temples...wesley and boldy's case was done together. click link below to see enlarged close up of the above pic http://drnigams.net/images/F/Large/1.jpg click link below to see enlarged close up of the above pic http://drnigams.net/images/F/Large/2.jpg [div][postedby]Originally Posted by HMorHT[/postedby] Prohair has a history of attacking Gho and stem cell hair transplants, I do not expect Prohair would have anything good to say about Nigam's results.

Arashi Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) On switching patients in before after photo's. Dr Nigam switches patients in before-after photo's several times. Most of the times he cuts out details that are too obvious and would reveal the difference immediately. I think this is the best example: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/GL/10-8-2013/Large/1.jpg copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/2d3ba36aeffa35decddc5ee6a2719a24.jpg You will see that the guy to the left has a huge bump on his forehead, the guy to the right doesn't. What Nigam usually does is cut out the difference like he did here when he presented the photo: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/GL/B&A/Large/1.jpg copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/88e0647fcea69297135e8f515888cc48.jpg He uses this trick often. Even in his latest case of the 2 people with different hair structure (flat vs curly) → http://www.drnigams.net/images/DK/1/Large/1.jpg http://www.drnigams.net/images/DK/1/Large/6.jpg By the hair structure alone it's obvious this is a different guy. But when watching photo's like this you should wonder … why does he show for the guy on the left the full face, but cuts off everything below the eyes on the right … By the way, analysis of several photo's he showed for this case revealed that there were only 2 months between the photo's, instead of the 7 he claimed. On photoshopped pictures: When Nigam came to these sites, he posted at least 3 photoshopped pictures on his website. This is one of them: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/too_big_01.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/44a359d6efdc5e0d8f30155e0e9792e4.jpg There were more found on his website, at least 3 of them were published back then. I made a small collection of some of the most obvious ones: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/4b394d573cbfbc0f6b8c168985788df5.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/25867214531dad409612e74a37f6a479.jpg Notice how every before-after picture is exactly the same, he just photoshopped in some hair (and changed some colors here and there for example of clothing). When he first got confronted with this, he defended the pictures to be true. When people mentioned that these were the same photo in the before-after comparison, which could for example easily be seen by the eyebrows, he couldn't deny it anymore. He then blamed his webdeveloper who supposedly did this without his consent. Of course this is a blatant lie, no webdeveloper would go photoshopping before-after pictures and put in text about stem cells and what more. A webdeveloper creates websites based on the content a client supplies. On his doubling technique. He claimed several times he solved hairloss cause he supposedly could double each graft (which pretty much is a functional cure for most people). However on a browsable directory on his website, photo's were found that he never published. These photo's show that the actual test he ran failed. In the photo's below, ignore the circles, they don't match (as always in his documentation, he just draws some random circles around any hair he sees). You'll see that after 290 days, only 3 hairs grew (while he lost at least that in donor). Day 1, showing the slits, just before graft insertion: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/e46011366aee055a002eddba8123c4d8.jpg (this slit picture is best used for comparison to day 290) Day 1, right after everything was done: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/49835053d72c10f33b0ced46ebc2cd03.jpg Day 290: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/0ccbc9252247f1e7309a49d2740f376b.jpg Also admire the stellar picture quality in the slits photo. If you zoom in (click on the picture) you can see the most tiny hairs in perfect detail. If only he showed quality pictures like that to us, eh. Instead he chose a picture which is WAY more difficult to interpret. On deception with certificates This photo was found on his website: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/logo%20isams.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/60facbbdf1f0adec95de28c147b052fe.jpg It says “ISAMS – Indian society of Aesthetic medicine & surgery”. That sounds interesting. When you google that, you won't find much about this society apart from a telephone number: http://www.justdial.com/Mumbai/Indian-Society-Of-Aesthetic-Medicine-%26-Surgery-%3Cnear%3E-Andheri-West/022PXX22-XX22-130108141904-Z8H5_BZDET If you then google that telephone number you'll find : http://mumbai.citizensindia.com/doctor-cosmetic-surgeon/dr-nigams-goodhealth-pvt-ltd/id_1934 This 'society' is just Nigam himself !!! He likes to do this little trick more often. For example watch this 'certificate': sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/international_tip.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/50df5f3b1b8c0fa922da6a651468ab91.jpg It says “International academy of Aesthetic medicine & surgery” and “European academy of aesthetic medicine & surgery”. Google them and you'll end up at Nigam. Of course this one isn't theoretically that bad, these 'academies' are just his, but it becomes more worrysome when he uses it to advertise: http://drnigams.net/images/advertisement.jpg It are these kind of worthless pictures that he puts up in his office everywhere. He even gives himself prizes and awards. Check out this picture and watch the certificates on the wall: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/19cb61f6a5868b21bba4dc48cee780f5.jpg “International Stemcell Research award”. First notice the same font as in that other certificate. Then google that to find more info on that 'international' award. Good luck with that ! On fraud with graft comparison photo's. Nigam likes to compare grafts in photo's. He isn't really accurate there however He just puts some circles around some grafts that possibly couldn't even relate to the other picture he shows (as for example in that 15 graft test photo that was shown earlier here). One really interesting example was this one though: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/c59f88b7be1d8628b2851166e0938976.jpg He really made a study out of it. Except … the numbering doesn't even match. It later turned out it wasn't even the same part of the scalp. When confronted, Nigam blamed his IT people. More photo fun. Nigam doesn't really seem to understand that human hair usually grows less than 1 cm/month. Cause this is what he can make hair grow in just 4 months: http://drnigams.net/images/Savio/B-A/Large/3.jpg Nigam's own hair. Nigam likes to show how he cured himself. http://s2.postimg.org/5o6cqs7nt/drnigam60k.png http://cdn.imghack.se/images/958a78b81391a0842461a8873469eb70.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/121cdd320bee9abfaf3bf50c19fc9abf.jpg In that last picture you can see his before pictures, dated january 2012, while he has an amazing result only 5 months later. Looks too good to be true ? Well it is. Nigam in 2011: There are more vids, search for them. Didi posted a few but they got deleted on that Nigam sponsored forum. Nigam and photo quality. Dr Nigam got criticized a lot on his photo's. Every time they are of extremely lousy quality. People got frustrated, some thought he might actually be onto something but just didn't know how to demonstrate it and were even talking about crowdfunding a professional photographer to shoot the pictures. After it was found that his images directory was browsable (here's a image of the whole directory: http://rapidshare.com/share/3F21103D...2092C2A709A99D ) it turned out there were pictures of stellar quality there, shot by a professional photographer . For an example, just look at the pre-op photo of the 15 graft test earlier in this thread. Nigam KNOWS how to shoot extremely good pictures, he just never shows them to you. Dr nigam and professor Lauster Dr Nigam claimed that Gerd Lauster and he were going to work together. When forum members called his lab, the people there didn't even know who Nigam was. Nigam later denied that he ever said this. Unfortunately some posts got deleted on that Nigam sponsored forum but if you search TBT you'll find a post where he says “After this visit, chairman of Tissuse and Gerd visited Mumbai in January 2013 for the potential try for clinical trials in Mumbai. We reached very close to the tie up with terms and conditions but I wanted some more time before investing “ Also this picture was posted on his website: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/111.jpg copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/b67d3b7ee80de252fff8c60f42e0827b.jpg Nigam recently mailed me: “I have never said that I am working with Lauster “ Just some links to complaints regarding his current and previous adventure, his weightloss clinic: Reviews of Dr. Nigam Hair Transplant Clinic, Andheri East, Mumbai | Dr. Nigam Hair Transplant Clinic, Hair Clinic reviews in Mumbai - asklaila Dr Nigam - False Claims about stem cell Dr. Nigams - Beware DR.

Senior Member lucldh Posted November 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2013 On switching patients in before after photo's. Dr Nigam switches patients in before-after photo's several times. Most of the times he cuts out details that are too obvious and would reveal the difference immediately. I think this is the best example: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/GL/10-8-2013/Large/1.jpg copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/2d3ba36aeffa35decddc5ee6a2719a24.jpg You will see that the guy to the left has a huge bump on his forehead, the guy to the right doesn't. What Nigam usually does is cut out the difference like he did here when he presented the photo: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/GL/B&A/Large/1.jpg copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/88e0647fcea69297135e8f515888cc48.jpg He uses this trick often. Even in his latest case of the 2 people with different hair structure (flat vs curly) → http://www.drnigams.net/images/DK/1/Large/1.jpg http://www.drnigams.net/images/DK/1/Large/6.jpg By the hair structure alone it's obvious this is a different guy. But when watching photo's like this you should wonder … why does he show for the guy on the left the full face, but cuts off everything below the eyes on the right … By the way, analysis of several photo's he showed for this case revealed that there were only 2 months between the photo's, instead of the 7 he claimed. On photoshopped pictures: When Nigam came to these sites, he posted at least 3 photoshopped pictures on his website. This is one of them: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/too_big_01.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/44a359d6efdc5e0d8f30155e0e9792e4.jpg There were more found on his website, at least 3 of them were published back then. I made a small collection of some of the most obvious ones: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/4b394d573cbfbc0f6b8c168985788df5.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/25867214531dad409612e74a37f6a479.jpg Notice how every before-after picture is exactly the same, he just photoshopped in some hair (and changed some colors here and there for example of clothing). When he first got confronted with this, he defended the pictures to be true. When people mentioned that these were the same photo in the before-after comparison, which could for example easily be seen by the eyebrows, he couldn't deny it anymore. He then blamed his webdeveloper who supposedly did this without his consent. Of course this is a blatant lie, no webdeveloper would go photoshopping before-after pictures and put in text about stem cells and what more. A webdeveloper creates websites based on the content a client supplies. On his doubling technique. He claimed several times he solved hairloss cause he supposedly could double each graft (which pretty much is a functional cure for most people). However on a browsable directory on his website, photo's were found that he never published. These photo's show that the actual test he ran failed. In the photo's below, ignore the circles, they don't match (as always in his documentation, he just draws some random circles around any hair he sees). You'll see that after 290 days, only 3 hairs grew (while he lost at least that in donor). Day 1, showing the slits, just before graft insertion: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/e46011366aee055a002eddba8123c4d8.jpg (this slit picture is best used for comparison to day 290) Day 1, right after everything was done: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/49835053d72c10f33b0ced46ebc2cd03.jpg Day 290: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/0ccbc9252247f1e7309a49d2740f376b.jpg Also admire the stellar picture quality in the slits photo. If you zoom in (click on the picture) you can see the most tiny hairs in perfect detail. If only he showed quality pictures like that to us, eh. Instead he chose a picture which is WAY more difficult to interpret. On deception with certificates This photo was found on his website: sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/logo%20isams.jpg http://cdn.imghack.se/images/60facbbdf1f0adec95de28c147b052fe.jpg It says “ISAMS – Indian society of Aesthetic medicine & surgery”.

Google them and you'll end up at Nigam. Of course this one isn't theoretically that bad, these 'academies' are just his, but it becomes more worrysome when he uses it to advertise: http://drnigams.net/images/advertisement.jpg It are these kind of worthless pictures that he puts up in his office everywhere.

That's the thing though Dr. Mwamba isn't putting his reputation on the line. Everyone assumed that because Mwamba was looking into it, it meant Nigam was legit. However even Mwamba said he didn't know, but that he just wants investigate it further because he wants to offer regeneration to his patients. If in a year Mwamba comes back and says he gave it a try and it didn't work, it will not effect his reputation one single bit, in fact it would probably increase his reputation, because he was willing to try something to move the industry forward.

Regular Member mariachi Posted February 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 4, 2014 dr mwamba, can you give us an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Patrick Mwamba Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 We had two patients : The first patient had first surgery with Dr Nigam ( HAir Doubling ) and a regular FUE with technology for hair regeneration in donor area .He came onne month after the surgery .There was no white dot .The patient was supposed to come every month for a follow up but didn't show up for the 2 months and 3 months Fup ( busy with work ).We know that growth after a hair transplant starts to show up from 4 to 6 months ;we are really hoping he will come for the next assessment . The second patient was a Norwood 7 .Dr Nigam performed a small test of Hair doubling ( 30 grafts ) and in December ( 90 days after first surgery ) , he injected stem cells for hair multiplication .He is black and lives in Brussels .So we are checking him every month .What we can tell right now is no signs of surgery in the donor area .It is really a scarless FUE ( compared to what we observed in lots of patients where you can detect the small empty spots of scarring eventhough it is not visible with the naked eye . There is several protocols we have to test now : 1 Scarless FUE with donor hair regeneration . You do perform a regular FUE .And you apply the technology of tissue engineering in donor area .We are now selecting candidate for that study in our Brussels clinic . 2 Hair Doubling The protocol for hair doubling requires extra investments to get a lab in Brussels .We can not offer it so far in our Brussels clinic until we get everything set up .We are thinking of offering that in India to patients who would like me to perform the surgery .We will perform a regular FUE and in one area , we will test the hair doubling technique , possible because Dr Nigam will put his lab in our disposition to get what we need .For this scenario, I have to gather a certain number of patients before to make a trip to India . Dr Nigam is conducting the study for hair doubling in Mumbai and I will be an independant investigator to assess results .We do not have the same surgery protocol ( they do perform classic FUE and not the FIT technique ) . 3 Hair Multiplication will be available only in India because of regulations about hair cells manipulation and culture . I will have to travel to India with the patient to perform it . We need to organize those trips with interested patients knowing is just a trial and results or outcome are not guarantee.And the selected patients have to fit in certain criteria for the sake of standardization of the study .It will not be so easy to organize all of this . At least we want to start with the scarless FUE and the Denovo hair regeneration in donor area .

Regular Member mariachi Posted February 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) thanks dr mwamba , i really appreciate your efforts for the community, could you kindly dr mwamba tell us if there was any donor regeneration for dr nigam patient (first) and also for your patient (slick nw 7) ? Sorry to bother you dr mwamba thanks Edited February 4, 2014 by mariachi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member garethbale Posted February 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think regeneration is appearing less and less likely. Dr Mwamba seems (understandably) reluctant to comment on anything further at this stage. Of course its still early days but judging from the damming comments, failed cases (tom), and disappearance of patients it doesn't look great.
