Dr Nigam, my own experience

[tom vercetti]

Well, first i'm sorry for the pictures, because i spend much of times and finally result is only few pics are OK for dr nigam. I need to improve, but arashi should be happy as the donor should be shave again when I come back to double the density. So, professional photographer will do his job.

For the healing it's really impressive, it's about at least half the time it was with my previous hair transplant.. it's really amazing, maybe it's the combo: PRP / ECM ? we could call that the dr nigam grand mother secret lol

Do you guys have any idea how to improve the hair count per graft ? When I get my previous Fue i get tons of 3hairs per graft and few of 4. I read for exemple that HASCI can only get about 1,5 (acording to arashi the specialist), why a low number like that compare to normal fue ?

Anyway, with the DP culture and growh factor I hope it could also give some hair to previous graft. Let's see..

Cheers Tom.

I'm by no means a specialist here Tom, but it seems from the 50 grafts test HASCI did (they did 2) that they have difficulties extracting 3 hair grafts. Probably because of the extremely small punch size of the needle. And it seems the 1's and 2's are evenly divided, which would mean an average of 1.5. But please note that this just my own conclusion, based on the 2 tests.

If you can prove (or disprove) dr Nigam's theories like this, I think I won't be the only one you're making happy Tom Your case is a very very interesting case for all us baldies out there ! Thx for taking the time to document it !

Sure, and with the tons of 3-hair and 4-hair grafts - you got the "amazing result" with Dr. Bisanga in Brussels I could read so much about it.

Sorry I haven't had time to read this entire thread yet, but why is only 2% of the total extractions 3 hair grafts? I would have expected more than 31.

Perhaps I've misread, best of luck and thanks for documenting.

my donor is good. For Bisanga I just did a 1000 graft to lower my hairline, but finally he chose to renforce my excisting hairline.. And didnt found any really change. If Dr Nigam can get me a such low hairline as dense as my previous density, believe me I would be happy. But I think we should place maybe more graft of 3 or 4 hairs just behind the line of 1 hair at the front to keep it natural.

1. Total drills in the 4 shaved buns 1475
2. Singles 762 Doubles 326 Triples 31 Total successful Extraction 1119
3. 175 grafts sent for isolating and sourcing progenitor stem cells and multiplied stem cell to be injected (These cells used for stem cell cannot be used for donor and recipient regeneration count as intact send to the lab for epidermal and mesenchymal stem cells)
4. 75 grafts sent for 2D DP culture which will be injected in 6 weeks from day 0 which cannot be used for donor and recipient re generation .
5. 106 grafts used for DP cell isolation and re implanted back at the donor from where they were extracted.
6. Recipient shows 1044 implantation mostly singles few doubles
7. Most of the lower half of the grafts part hair bulb was implanted as the donor except approx 200 lower half injected most of the upper half of the follicle implanted approx 75 grafts were drilled but grafts not extracted from these 75 drills at donor.

I don't understand the numbers. How should we see them ? Total extracted grafts was 1119. 175 sent out for isolation, were these whole grafts (so before split ?). Same question for the 75 grafts for DP culture. Then the 106 grafts for DP isolation, were they split ?

You say 1044 halves were planted into recipient. How many went into donor ? And I don't understand this sentence "Most of the lower half of the grafts part hair bulb was implanted as the donor except approx 200 lower half injected most of the upper half of the follicle implanted approx 75 grafts were drilled but grafts not extracted from these 75 drills at donor"

Thanks

Also, Dr Nigams, you were talking earlier about a max of 5000 grafts/session. But if approx 1000 grafts already take 3 days, does that mean that 5000 grafts equals 15 office days = 3 weeks ?!?!
