Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi i think stem cell therapy is not cost effective.i recommened my patients to use minoxidil lotion 2 percent for female and 5 perrcent for male atleast for 1 year then only i advice them to go for other procedures.but as far as i know hair transplantation is better option compared to these stem cell therapy
Results of stem cell therapy are not long lasting and the side effects are more with stem cell therapy

Dermatologist Dr. Johny Chacko's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
You seem to be having genetic baldness (androgenetic alopecia) from the pattern you have described. There are medical treatments like finasteride tablets and minoxidil solution local application which works. Stem cell therapy is an adjuvant treatment which can be taken along with the medical treatment. It is expensive. I have not heard of blood keratine levels and its implication on hair fall treatment.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
