Treatment with hair follicle stem cells

The main cause of hair loss is degenerative changes in the hair follicles due to a variety of factors. In men, the most common cause is male hormones, while in women, it can be due to iron deficiency, thyroid diseases, or stress. Hair growth stem cells are harvested from the scalp or fatty tissue, which is a more effective option as it yields more stem cells. To prevent hair loss, it is necessary to regenerate the hair follicles, with stem cells being the most effective in this regard. It is crucial to start treatment early to address the issue of hair loss. The only therapy that helps with hair loss is one that specifically targets the hair follicles. A unique, fast, and effective method is based on autologous tissue transplantation—where the patient's cells are processed and then applied directly to the desired area.

For stem cell treatment, a sample is taken from the densest part of the hair, usually the back of the scalp. The suspension obtained in an automated, closed system can contain between 50,000 and 100,000 stem cells per milliliter. This treatment aids in preventing hair loss, strengthening hair, and promoting hair growth. Damaging the scalp is advised for better effect to activate the stem cells, which then function more effectively. Treatment is effective only if there is preserved hair. For more pronounced hair loss, combining hair transplantation with stem cells is ideal, and it is better to perform stem cell treatment before hair transplantation for significantly improved results. Hair transplantation retains transplanted hair but does not prevent the loss of one's own hair. Therefore, combining stem cells with hair transplantation is ideal for more extensive hair loss.
