	The recent discussions re: Dr. Nigam and his stem cell hair multiplication procedures have gotten hopelessly confusing. If you have a question for Dr. Nigam, please post them in this thread. One question at a time. Do not use this thread for anything else, no chit-chat, no bickering. Just a simple question-and-answer. Do not use this thread for anything other than to raise a question. Dr. Nigam will respond to the questions here in an orderly fashion. Please be advised that at this point we know very little about Dr. Nigam and his work. Please do not proceed with a procedure unless you have thoroughly investigated everything to your satisfaction.

	I am sorry if this has already been answered but please don't make me go through the older threads, I have no time for that. My questions: 1. how many patients have been treated with hair multiplication using stem cells so far? Where are the before and after pictures? 2. what is Dr. Nigam's background and credentials, how come I have never heard of his name before? How long has he been doing hair transplants? 3. what is "Hair Activation" that I read on this link, what is the difference between Hair Activation and Hair Multiplication? http://www.drnigams.net/procedure.html 4. how do you extract the 300 hair grafts? same as how they do it in FUE or do you plug the hair follicles?

	» No photos backing up his claim, I find it amazing » » out of 250 patients who had great results not a single convincing photo Actually, he did have some photos but every single one of them were faked. Unfortunately, once you do something like that, you lose all credibility. On top of that, I think anyone who offers synthetic hair implants and personally undergoes a FUT procedure, while at the same time claiming to offer both hair multiplication and "hair doubling," is a charlatan. I think the posters on here would be wise not to pay too much attention to this fraud.

	Dear HMORHT ,Approx. 500 HM performed so far.I am the CMD of a cosmetic surgery company called ,DR. NIGAM'S GOODHEALTH PVT.LTD.we are a team of surgeons,my focus is on stemcell hair multiplication,and donor doubling with activated stem cells,my other team members are into fue,fut and rest of the cosmetic surgeries.Our team also includes dermatologisst,other doctors,anaesthetists and technicians.We are the only doctors,as far as we know ,who have their own GMP certified stemcell lab.,with tissue engineers and biotechnologists,in MUMBAI ,INDIA.For before after pics ,please visit my website.Kindly understand hairtransplant industry consumer awareness is not as robust as in the western world,hence hairtransplant surgeons communicate to the consumers in easy to understand language and evidence,internet is not the main source of reaching to the patients in my country,but as promised i am gradually uploading evidences required by the forum members,6 months should be a good time to provide following to the members...1)HD photos with semipermanent ink markings ,with same angle and lighting before after pic's and videos. 2)scientific publication of my documented results in a journal or congress3)since safety approval of aderans and histogen is already cleared by USFDA,by their phase one clinical trials,the same documents are excepted by my regulatory body.Since i am not into marketing stem cell as adrug like histogen hence regulations are softer for me ,since any treatment is followed up under the direct monitoring of board certified doctors,there r few other doctors across the globe who r also working like me at their clinic level,though i am the only one having specialised lab with my clinic.we have a 15 bedded hairtransplant centre ,spread across 8000 sq.ft.with a staff strength of 100plus.Hair activation means,we extract hg and isolate stemcells, than activate them with specific growth factors plus extracellular matrix and inject it back to the scalp the same day. TIn HM ,the isolated stemcells are multiplied into millions and activated for next 2months and than injected back to the scalp,as per our new protocol.At present we use fue to extract grafts but few months down the line we will start extracting stemcells through donor doubling.

	yes u are correct,it's still few years to perfect the HM, but even if i am able to give u activated dormant telogen or new hair follicles,though number may vary,with the present success of HM,it can be used in combination of other techniques to get denser HT.And specially if u inject stem cells into normal donor and recipient of fue and donor doubling ,the results should improve even in traditional techniques.Every month we r improving,and some patients have amazing results.What u r going to experience, when histogen and aderans are going to come in the market by 2017,now u can experience a percentage of it in 2012 in MUMBAI...now..!I don't charge if u don't get hair.Take my word ,in the [color=black][/color]future like pathological labs,grafts will be sent by doc's to the lab and injected back,there will be chain of lab's competing among themselves to provide better HM process. » It sounds like this is all experimental, whatever Dr. Nigam is doing » still unproven and with no consistent results, am I correct? drnigam has 1 Personal Journal(s).

	Dr Nigam----Could you try plucking hairs from the donor site and dipping them in the hair multipipication cell solution then implant them like a regular FUE transplant. The plucked hairs have some stem cells clinging to the follice root but not enough to grow. With the extra stem cells from the solution the plucked folicle would have a better chance to grow.

	[/color]Good question Murf,your question has an important clue to improve HM,future studies on HM will answer this. Let me explain u,at present my protocol is concentrated 10ml HM stemcell solution on the bald patch. if the bald patch is more i.e NW6,7,than i dilute my solution ,so that i have more ml to inject,but as i dilute the solution, my concentration reduces, and hence the result.Kindly let me know, aderans one injection is how much ml and approx.number of multiplied hair stemcell in one injection of aderans.it is not the nuber of injections per sqcm, but the dose or number of multiplied stemcells which r important .Since last one week i have changed my protocol,for the same reason u mentioned.To get good number of stemcells after multiplication, we r now giving HM 2nd injection after 2 months, unless the patient desires otherwise, due to shortage of time ,earlier.we don't end our treatment after injecting 2nd shot, but prefer injecting every month the inducing stemcell growth factors, extracellullar matrix and or prp.and if require repeat the HM 2to 3times in the coming months.i cannot guarantee that after x amt of dose y amt of hair will come,because i don't know, some times the scalp is full of hair with same dose, sometimes no result.

There is very little documentation as far as photos go so its hard to understand how successful HM really is even with the 50% who are sucessful.

drnigam 14.12.2012, 19:21 @ craig	Q&A with Dr. Nigam re: Stem Cell Hair Multiplication
	I prefer calling my Donor Doubling technique,the Hair Doubling,because my technique allows both ,donor and recipient Doubling. We perform Hair doubling in the following steps: 1)we extract a hair follicle/s by FUE from the donor. 2)The follicle is than stained with eosin and haematoxylin to identify the follicle morphometry and locate the bulge stemcells. 3)The follicle is than transversally bisected just below the bulge. 4)These two bisected parts can both be implanted at the recipient area or one at donor and the other at the recipient. 5)Few non bisected grafts are sent to the stem cell lab,for isolation and activation of stem cells to active progenitor cells,and than injected into and around the two parts of implanted follicles.Hence, either part receives the stem cells it was missing after bisection. I am in the documentation process for HAIR DOUBLING the same,should come out with my findings in next 6months,and than hopefully offer at my clinic. drnigam has 1 Personal Journal(s).

	Dr Nigam, Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. I plan on going to your clinic in 2013 for some treatment. With regards to the hair doubling, do you remove the complete follicle or is it a partial removal like the Gho technique? If the complete follicle is removed, do you implant the bisected part into the hole that is left behind or is it implanted elsewhere in the donor area? Do you implant the bisected parts on the same day or some time afterwards? For the hair multiplication, can the process regenerate hair in the sites where follicles have previously been removed or not? gambler is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply
drnigam 14.12.2012, 20:45 @ GNX	Q&A with Dr. Nigam re: Stem Cell Hair Multiplication
	My criteria for 50% success with HM at my clinic is, after injecting multiplied stemcells, at least 50% bald area of NW1,NW2,NW3,NW4,NW5,NW6,NW7,Diffuse pattern ,Diffuse unpatterned alopecia shows avg.growth of 60+ terminal HF per sq cm. . For the thinning scalp,after injections of multiplied stemcells,there should be an increase in hair density of terminal hair by 50% per sq cm in thinning area of scalp,and increase in hair diametre by 25%.In first three months, most of the new hairgrowth is due to activation of villous or dormant hair follicles in telogen.After 6 months we start seeing new follicles in areas even without villous hair. drnigam has 1 Personal Journal(s).

Mr. Z 14.12.2012, 20:48 @ drnigam	Q&A with Dr. Nigam re: Stem Cell Hair Multiplication
	Dear Dr. Nigram, I have a question regarding your doubling technique. Based on what you wrote in your post, is it correct to say that for your duplication method you: 1. take a follicle from the occipital region the scalp via FUE. 2. This extracted follicle is stained with Hematoxylin/Eosin 3. The follicle is then put under a light microscope and the stem cells are identified. 4. This same follicle is then bisected and the two halves are either both put into the recipient or one half is put in the donor the other in the recipient. 5. This process 1-4 is then repeated for as many follicles as the Dr and patient agree on beforehand? Is this a correct interpretation of your process?

	» I prefer calling my Donor Doubling technique,the Hair Doubling,because my » technique allows both ,donor and recipient Doubling. » We perform Hair doubling in the following steps: » 1)we extract a hair follicle/s by FUE from the donor. » 2)The follicle is than stained with eosin and haematoxylin to identify » the follicle morphometry and locate the bulge stemcells. » 3)The follicle is than transversally bisected just below the bulge. » 4)These two bisected parts can both be implanted at the recipient area » or one at donor and the other at the recipient. » 5)Few non bisected grafts are sent to the stem cell lab,for » isolation and activation of stem cells to active progenitor cells,and than » injected into and around the two parts of implanted follicles.Hence, either » part receives the stem cells it was missing after bisection. » I am in the » documentation process for HAIR DOUBLING the same,should come out with my » findings in next 6months,and than hopefully offer at my clinic. How many grafts can you transplant in a single day with this method? StinkySmurf is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply
drnigam 14.12.2012, 21:02 @ gambler	Q&A with Dr. Nigam re: Stem Cell Hair Multiplication
	Bisected follicles are implanted on the recipient area ,if the donor area is dense.If the donor area is poor,the bisected follicle with bulge stem cells and shaft is implanted in the same hole from where it was extracted from the donor area.Yes, we have seen sprouting out of hair follicle/s from the donor area sporadically after injection of activated stem cells. Can confirm the avg. percentage, after few months. We implant the bisected follicles the same day.One person extracts,the other bisects and after every hour we implant the follicles, before extracting the new ones again. The grafts are kept in special preservation medium,with prp and growth factors to induce stemcells. . Dr Nigam, » » Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. I plan on going to » your clinic in 2013 for some treatment. » » With regards to the hair doubling, do you remove the complete follicle or » is it a partial removal like the Gho technique? » » If the complete follicle is removed, do you implant the bisected part into » the hole that is left behind or is it implanted elsewhere in the donor » area? » » Do you implant the bisected parts on the same day or some time afterwards? » » For the hair multiplication, can the process regenerate hair in the sites » where follicles have previously been removed or not? drnigam has 1 Personal Journal(s).

Thank you for your response. I have a few follow up questions: I looked up some information on hematoxylin and eosin staining and i'm a little confused. Can you explain how the grafts survive the H&E staining protocol? Hemalum is a complex of aluminum and oxidized hematoxylin that actually binds to nuclei and certain proteins of cells. This plus numerous of types of reagents involved in the process (acids and what not)....Surely this complex chemical treatment of the tissues renders them unviable? How are the follicles going through all that, surviving, and then being reimplanted in the recipient area? Also, wouldn't the follicles (or bisected halves) be permanently stained? And what about identifying the morphology of the follicle under the light microscope? I was under the impression that light microscope needs thin tissue sections? A fully intact follicle would be too thick for adequate light penetration on a microscope. Furthermore, would not the follicle be too thick to stain and/or put under a microscope? Any information you can provide to address my concerns would be appreciated. Sorry for all the questions, i'm a detail oriented person...especially when it comes to a procedure i'm considering. I'm just trying to get a feel for your process. Mr. Z is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply

	only 6 follicular units are stained if three technicians are bisecting the grafts transversally.Location of bulge region varies with different individuals.Cytokeratin 15 and CD200 are used as immunohistochemical biomarkers to identify follicular bulge where bulge stemcells reside.Following segments of the follicles are measured.1)the mean length of terminal anagen hair follicle i.e distance from the scalp epidermal surface to the dermal papilla is 4.2mm +/-0.4mm 2)the infundibulum of the follicle measures 0.8mm 3)the isthumus measures 0.9mm 4)the inferior portion is 2.5mm long. Average region of bulge after detecting with anti CK15 is 1mm below the skin surface and extending upto 1.8mm below the skin surface.On measuring the hair follicle diameter by micrometre,the hair follicle is thicker at the inferior level,this also helps us to identify bulge area of follicle.For grafts under stain we use digital camera with optical microscope.For viewing live cells we use inverted microscope and stereo microscope. This understanding of hair follicle morphometry also helps us in deciding the depth of recipient hole and the same helps us to preserve bulge stem cells while doing trichophytic closure in traditional transplants. drnigam has 1 Personal Journal(s).

If you are trying to improve, or experimenting with HM, then do you not need to document and photograph your patients? 500 is a huge number, it is very interesting that you dont have evidence.

	Dr. Nigam, Did you video record the injection procedure yet? I still don't think more photos will make much difference to anyone here. The only photos I really want to see are high res photos of scars. I want to see high res photos of the scars a normal FUE leaves in the recipient area and high res photos of the scars in the donor area when you use a 1.2mm punch for your HM procedure. Showing me pictures with no scars doesn't tell me anything because how do I know a picture of HM is not just a normal FUE if you can't show me the scars from one of your normal FUE? If you don't want to post pictures of scars, then I think you need to show a video of the injection procedure, which is something you can do right away because you don't have to wait on old patients to come back. I can't think of anything else that would help. Taking better before and after photos doesn't help. Thanks! StinkySmurf is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply

	Dear Smurf, I've dictated the script to the videographer today. Should be ready in the next 15 days. The script starts from the patient entering the reception to the patient care executive to the consultant, then escorted to the hair multiplication chamber for a pre-procedure profile, introduction to the surgeons and technicians and actual start of procedure of extraction of grafts, then transporting the grafts to the next door lab and prcessing the grafts and getting it back to the clinic and injecting onto the scalp and sending off the patient with the flower bouquet. If I get time, I will add scientific explanation on the film.As you know, some forum members are so prejudiced and always have an opinion on whatever I submit and they take it as 'deception'. But, I am loving it, the results are in front of my own eyes and I know that any new procedure will be scrutinised and doubted. Keep pushing me Smurf, it only helps me ! 1 more photo of early results and 2 videos will be uploaded on my site tomorrow. I hope to upload at least 1 good quality before/after photo every week.

This is good progress Dr Nigam, thank you. We all hope you can eliminate this curse from our lives. When will you re-design the website? Your plans for the video sound great. Can i suggest that the videos should be in a 'before' and 'after' format. Good luck PS. I would make scientific explanation essential. I hope you find time to include it. neversaynever is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply
