From another forum
I did ask the same question to their doctor (Dr Katarina) re Stems staying in adipose tissue, and she said that what they know for sure is that stem cells will secrete some growth factors when injected locally and will promote some follicle regeneration. So, it is not important for them to “stay” there all the time; more important is that they provoke different actions that will improve the hair growth and the quality of existing follicles.
Not being a doctor, and being listed on the Kerastem website itself, I would imagine that the procedures are the same in the 4 clinics currently performing them. I definitely had no shortage of discomfort all over my scalp (and given the bald spot from what I can only assume is shock… which was located at the back of my scalp) but particularly on the back.Well, does the Serbian clinic care of the migration issue? Are they injecting the puregraft fat on the top of the head and the normal on the back to stabilize the first one? That's what the Geneva clinic do.
The entry points were 4 in total, one frontal, two parietal and one in occipital region. They are exactly where the small scabs were.
The swelling you had was expected, nothing out of usual after this procedure.

I believe there are 3/4 fat grafts total, and searching my email the doctor told me afterward:
How so? That would not make much sense to me given they are all listed as officially doing the procedure.I remember that Dr. Schlaudraff told me that the procedure are not the same...
The only "*" I want to put for myself, is if my recent/current shedding is also related to having stopped putting minoxidil across my entire scalp as I had been from November -> ~June/Early JulySo at the moment we have 0/5 success in Belgrade with the procedure done between 3 and 6 months ago. - 3/3 successes in Geneva.
I think it's time to dig what's going on with the Serbian clinic. They cannot be anymore mentioned in the future if they don't correctly perform the procedure.
From what I can read, the Serbian clinic just want to activate the signal and does not care of the stem cells migration which sounds ridiculous to me. The Geneva clinic cares about this issue.I remember that Dr. Schlaudraff told me that the procedure are not the same...
The thing is though, if you search for Kerastem Belprime, Katarina seems to be a training instructor for the procedure (globally?): https://www.invivox.com/training/detail/265From what I can read, the Serbian clinic just want to activate the signal and does not care of the stem cells migration which sounds ridiculous to me.

I might be completely wrong, and everything will turn out good, we may have not done properly our homework though.
First it would be nice to know the exact procedures of the two clinics as well as the recommended one by kerastem. I believe it's doable given the clinics are really helpful, so is Eric Daniels from Kerastem.The only "*" I want to put for myself, is if my recent/current shedding is also related to having stopped putting minoxidil across my entire scalp as I had been from November -> ~June/Early July
But yeah, without some more positive stories out of Belgrade (and ideally, proof of people getting it from Geneva…) it doesn't make me feel great at the moment!
Then maybe it's normal and she is doing it better and we all enjoy her knowledge.The thing is though, if you search for Kerastem Belprime, Katarina seems to be a training instructor for the procedure (globally?): https://www.invivox.com/training/detail/265
There is no need to panic yet, but these Geneva results are making me envious.FYI I read most people answered in the 3-6 months range.Well, that doesn't sound very reassuring.
I doesn't make me feel well neither.
I just wrote to kerastem asking if there are any differences in the treatment within the various clinics. Will share if they respond.
I am shedding a lot so within the next weeks I surely would be able to tell the difference. Dr. Katarina said the earliest signs, like the hair loss stopping, would be after 2 month's.
