Jesus. Relax people. Its been four months. The results posted on Kerastems site were after one year.
No official verdict yet.

You mean you don't have any money to waste? Can't handle a little pain which is not one? And don't need this treatment because your little brain is made of fat?I feel sorry for you guys that went through with this; a lot of money, some pain, a couple permeant scars, and no benefit. Shame on those scammers for doing that to you.
I'll be the first to call it a scam if that time comes, but its only 2 months so far.
If finasteride and minoxidil can both induce sheds of some form, and by all measures this was an invasive surgery so have no reason to think it's immune to some kind of shock loss (or, bizarre spot as I unfortunately got) despite what they expected… I mean this could be par for the course.
Or, everyone who had the surgery across the net was a plant and we got scammed. Who knows yet, but we will find out later this year and I hope for all of us who got it it works out.
As an aside, I'm leaning toward trying finasteride again in the meantime… I'm very predisposed to placebo/WebMD-ing myself and may try with a clearer head than my last 1.5 month experience (which, for all I know could have also contributed to making my particular hair cycle weird for getting on and off fairly quickly)
I wish we had more actual photographic proof of these claims… its hard not to always come back to "if it works so well, why aren't the clinics getting permission from patients to show the proof?"We also know someone from another forum had regrowth from the treatment comparing it to a decent hair transplant; apparently they have quite a lot of experience with transplants as well.

I´d say I´m somewhere between NWII-NWIII, no thinning in my frontlock (yet). First time I tried finasteride I freaked out and dropped it for 8 months. Decided to try it again and realized my brain probably played a trick on me the first time. Haven´t had any side effects so far.
However I´ve still experienced shedding while on finasteride. Until now. f*** me, it´s such a relief. I´m just praying for it to stay this way.
If anyone´s curious about the scars, check out the attached photo. The hand is there for size reference.

It´s slowly fading and I expect it to be very hard to notice in a few months.
Yes, I did. Just as a precaution as per the BelPrime clinic.Did you have to do a course of antibiotics after the treatment?
Same hereDid you have to do a course of antibiotics after the treatment?
It wasn't a Serbian antibiotic I'm not familiar with. Forget the name.What antibiotic did they prescribe?
1. 10k vs 5k...Come again?
If you're trying to suggest that I'm a fool for not waisting $10k on a treatment that not only doesn't work, but leaves you permanently scarred, then I guess you and I define the term, "fool" differently.
As the dude who is actually the one waiting for a bald spot to fill in from this procedure, a tiny ab/stomach scar (which, they are completely fading anyway) would be a small price to pay if it works, as would the $5k if it helped maintain things until the proper cloning techniques come online in perpetual 5 years from now. It was a gamble, save your sympathy for now until we know whether the bet was a bust or not.
