Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell hair treatment is an advanced hair transplant procedure that promotes the growth of natural hair using stem cells found in the human body.

Stem cell hair treatment is similar to traditional hair transplantation in one way. The difference between them is that instead of taking individual hair follicles to be transplanted to the area with hair loss, a small piece of skin is taken from which the hair follicles are collected.

The follicles in the removed part are reproduced in the laboratory and transplanted to the area where hair loss is observed. In this way, hair follicles can grow where they are collected.

Stem Cell Therapy: Candidates

Stem cell hair treatment can be applied to women and men who want to improve their hair density. The operation is ideal for patients with little hair on the scalp, completely bald patients may not be candidates for this procedure.

Stem Cell Therapy: Procedure

First, a biopsy is done to extract stem cells from the person. It’s called punch biopsy. With it, cylindrical tissue can be taken from the scalp. The stem cells are then centrifuged and separated into tissues. In order for the stem cells to be injected into the scalp, they should be separated from the adipose tissue. This process takes about 2 hours.

Stem Cell Hair Transplantation: Recovery

All stem cell treatment is completed in an average of 3 hours. You can be discharged immediately after treatment. People who receive treatment can usually return to their daily life within a few days. In a few months, there is a significant reduction in pain. One year after the treatment, a great improvement is seen.

It is recommended to avoid heavy exercise for one week following the treatment. After waiting for a month, normal activities can be returned.

Stem Cell Therapy: Side Effects

As with all other treatments involving surgical procedures, it is possible to encounter some side effects such as bleeding, infection and scarring. Punch biopsy, which is one of the step at this treatment, may rarely cause complications. One of these complications is damage to the nerves under the biopsy site.
