Stem Cell Therapy for Hair Loss

Since 1990’s stem cells are used in many treatments. Nowadays for hair regeneration, hair loss stem cell therapy is proving to be a good technique.

First of all we need to know what stem cell is. Stem cells are the first building blocks of our body. We all started as a stem cell and then subsequently divided into millions of cells as we grew over time. Then a reverse process of decreasing stem cells starts, as we get older. The process gets faster if we suffer from diseases like heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes etc.

In stem cell therapy, stem cells are used as a replacement of damaged or dead cells in the body. On the scalp dead cells don’t grow hair and the area becomes bare, which we call bald.

Now if we replace the dead cells on the scalp with new ones through stem cell therapy then the bald spot can be transformed into an area full of hair. This is the basic premise of stem cell therapy for treating baldness. After using this therapy to treat baldness, particularly male pattern baldness, some have experienced good results and some have not had good results.

The research is still on and hopefully the success rate will improve in the coming years.

In the scientific lab, stem cells are produced and then these cells are injected in the bald areas of the scalp. If the first attempt to generate hair does not work then the doctors try again but the result is not guaranteed as the process is at an initial stage. If you want to try stem cell therapy for hair loss you can contact a dermatologist for such.

It must be noted that if you are genetically predisposed to lose your hair, it is unlikely that you will grow it back to full thickness, however with the advances in stem cell therapy, there is hope.

This therapy is also influenced by our individual lifestyles. Of key importance we should be working towards eating a balanced diet of organic foods. Foods which are rich in nutrients that also build up our immune system and help fight anti-oxidants. It must be noted that whatever we ingest into our mouths will also be expressed sometime in our bodies which also include our hair follicles.

At times, sustaining such eating habits can be difficult and even expensive, and this little bit of help can work, but, it has to be complimented with our adjustment in our lifestyle behavior.

Remember – Stem cell hair treatment and restoration can regrow hair through a combination of stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma treatment. It is advised that this is in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.
