STEM CELL THERAPY IN HAIR TRANSPLANT - TOP 5 MYTHS
We keep hearing about stem cell treatment in all spheres and of special interest for those on this website are reports of stem cell treatment for hair restoration.
Recently, a company from New Delhi has been promoting their ‘stem cell treatment’ very heavily in the North East, which according to them can solve every disease known to human kind from cancer to heart disease, and also restore hair. I was approached by the company also which promised me heavy paybacks if I advised this for my patients. They were apparently unaware of my strong views against any form of unscientific treatments. A few pertinent questions from me and they were left tongue tied as they could not explain anything in depth and their fraud was exposed.
However it is clear that this company will now try to spread their wings in the North East hoping to sweep some money from gullible people. They have already tied up with a well known Beauty Saloon chain for their hair restoration treatment and are trying to tie up with hospitals and individual doctors to promote their treatments for various other diseases.
This set me thinking as to how to ensure that people are well informed enough not to go in for this sort of treatment. Hence I am writing again about stem cells and the true facts of their curative powers.
What are stem cells? Most people in fact are not aware of this even when they are actually receiving so called ‘stem cell treatments’.
Stem cells are cells that are pluripotent, ie, they can go on to form different types of specialized cells. All organs of our body are formed by specialized cells. Skin is formed by skin cells, liver is formed by liver cells, brain is formed by brain cells or neurons and so on. Each of these cells are specialized, i.e, skin cells are specialized for the function of skin and they are completely different from say brain cells, which are specialized for brain functions. Stem cells are a form of root cell which themselves are not specialized, but can form other specialized cells such as cells of the eye, liver, brain, skin, etc.
Stem cells are not a single entity but there are six very different types of stem cells which have different characteristics.
Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic takes several steps to ensure that quality is maintained for each and every patient. The key to quality maintenance is to implement quantizable quality standards and maintain proper documentation and review of processes. Downtown Hospital is an ISO 9001:2008 and NABH accredited hospital which demands strict adherence to quality control.Steps taken are:
Safety assurance: all procedures are done in the main OT of Downtown Hospital with its full complement of anesthesiologists and critical care specialists. Hence patients are assured of full safety standards at the same level as that of major surgeries including transplant surgeries.
Sterilization assurance: since procedures are done in the major OT full sterilization is maintained. Fumigation is done every week and swab tests are done to check for contamination.
Best instrumentation: Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic uses the best available instruments like 6X Heine Loupe for precision and accuracy, Blunt Titanium punches which avoids damage and transection of the Follicular Units, Choi implanters to standardise the process of planting and prevent damage during planting, Major OT level sterilization, fumigation and autoclaving of all instruments, etc.
Efficiency count: Efficiency counts for FUE like transection rates and speed of transplant are noted and documented for each case and reviewed every 10 cases. Arogyam Hair Transplant achieves international standards of transection and speed consistently.
Counting trays: Counting trays are used to contain the follicular units and all patients are given photographs on their mobiles which they can use to easily count the number of follicular units taken out so that they can be sure that they have received the correct number of FU's.
Dr. P. J. Mazumdar is the first and only American Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and all procedures are done following the ethical and technical guidelines of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery. As such, patients can be assured of receiving full professional care as per International standards approved by the ABHRS and ISHRS.
Correct recepient density: To ensure correct recepient density, 'density stamps' are used to ensure proper density is achieved. Angle and direction of hair is meticulously maintained.
Out of body time: The out of body time, the time for which the follicular unit is outside the body, is the most critical factor for success in hair transplant. Aroyam Hair Transplant follows a special procedure to ensure that this time is the minimum. This is done by doing only 1000 follicular units at a time and then replanting them. This ensures that time out of body is less than or equal to1 hour only. This is the shortest period acheivable. Many centers do upto 2000-2500 follicular units at a time so that time out of body goes upto 4-5 hours. We are proud of our time out of body quantum. Though this may cause some sacrifice of time but results are more important.
Follow up: follow up period is critical for the patient when there are many doubts and anxieties in his mind. In our clinic, Dr. P. J. Mazumdar will remain always accessible to the patient directly on his personal mobile for any questions the patient may have during this period.
