In the search for innovative solutions to combat hair loss and promote hair growth, stem cell therapies have emerged as a promising treatment. They promise to regenerate and rejuvenate hair follicles, but is this treatment really effective? Continue reading to learn more about this and other hair regeneration treatments.
What are stem cells?
Let’s start by defining what stem cells are. They are a special type of cells that can divide and differentiate into various types of specialized cells in the body. They self-renew indefinitely and can become specific cells with specialized functions, such as muscle, nerve, blood cells, among others. They play a crucial role in the development, growth, and repair of tissues in the body.
Types of stem cell treatments for hair
Several stem cell treatments for hair are used today. Some of the most common treatments include:
Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP): Although not an exclusive stem cell treatment, PRP involves extracting blood from the patient, processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair regeneration.
Exosome therapy: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released by stem cells containing proteins, RNA, and growth factors. They are purified and concentrated in the laboratory before being applied to the scalp through injections or micropunctions.
Hair stem cell therapy: In this process, stem cells are extracted from the patient, processed in the laboratory, and injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
What is the best hair treatment?
The choice of the best hair treatment may depend on several factors, such as the type of hair problem and the needs of each person.
As a specialized hair clinic the only treatments we recommend to perform to treat hair regeneration are microinjections of nutrients into the scalp, which help prevent hair loss and promote its growth, and PRP, where we extract the patient’s plasma and inject it into the scalp, to stimulate hair growth and reduce weakening.
