  IAHRS accepted Member Dr. Patrick Mwamba of Belgium speaks with Spencer Kobren about his journey to India to investigate the claims of hair loss researcher Dr. Nigam, who believes he has solved the problem of limited donor supply in surgical hair restoration.

  Can this straight forward approach be the answer for so many hair loss sufferers who just don’t have the supply to meet the demand of their progressing hair loss, and will it eventually phase out the traditional harvesting methods used in today’s hair transplant procedures?
