How stem cell treatment helps with hair regrowth for both men and women
Hair loss can be very demoralizing, and the treatments available in the form of topical creams and medicines often do not yield satisfactory results. Most people are left with hair transplants as their only option.

The good news is that stem cell medicine is making it easier for our bodies to regrow hair, and platelet rich plasma (PRP) has played a major role in this new medical development. PRP treatments are not new to the medical world, and have been used widely in treating various conditions, as well as pain management. In addition, scientists have discovered a synergistic response when using stem cell therapy combined with PRP for hair restoration.

The stem cell process for hair restoration
The process begins with obtaining a blood sample is obtained from the patient, which is then taken to the laboratory where it is placed in a centrifuge. The serum, white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets are then separated so as to create a concentration of the platelets and growth factors.

The PRP is then mixed with the stem cells and injected into the scalp through shallow injections or microneedling, where it works to stimulate hair growth. Stem cells activate the follicular progenitor cells. The survival rate of hair follicles dramatically increases as the stem cells and platelets stimulate the hair cycle’s anagen phase, or what many would call the growth phase. Stem cells combined with PRP can often be used to reverse and treat complex hair loss problems.

The procedure is minimally invasive and unlike surgery, the healing process is quite fast. Since Stem Cells and PRP encourage faster cell growth, the results of the procedure are fast as well. You can begin to see evidence of new hair growth in as little as one to two months, though the best results are identifiable in just a few months. The full effects of the hair restoration are clear within a year.

Depending on the condition and severity presented, hair transplant therapy may still be the best option for a given situation. In that case, incorporating a stem cell treatment into the overall protocol may enhance the healing response, yielding quicker and improved results.

*Typical Treatment Protocol
A typical protocol consists of 50 million cord tissue-derived MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) injected through microneedling to the scalp. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. The protocol is minimally invasive to the patient and has very little downtime. Patients normally travel home two days following their scheduled appointment.

Treatment goals
The primary goal of our protocol is to stimulate hair follicles growth which can last for several years.

Stem cells are uniquely and intrinsically able to migrate to sites of damage and inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that stem cells are able to orchestrate the repair and regeneration of deteriorated tissues, as well as modulate the immune system, to promote better health.

The benefits of stem cell therapy can include a reduction in harmful symptoms, the slowing of the progression of the disease, and an overall increase in quality of life.

*Treatment protocols are individualized for each patient according to a variety of factors, including overall patient health, condition, and severity. A protocol optimized for your particular situation will be developed in consultation with a stem cell physician and a review of your medical records.
