Stem Cell Hair Transplant

Hair loss can occur due to various reasons such as genetic factors, aging, stress, illnesses, accidents, and medication use. Hair transplant with stem cell therapy is one of the newest technologies developed to reduce the effects of this process and achieve healthier, fuller hair. When applied together with a hair transplant, this method accelerates healing, increases the retention rate of hair follicles, and enhances the quality of newly transplanted hair.

What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are fundamental cells present in all tissues and organs from birth, responsible for regeneration and repair. Stem cells, which can be obtained from adipose tissue, bone marrow, and embryonic tissues, have a strong structure and are used in various fields, including aesthetics, dermatology, and orthopedics.

Effects of Stem Cell Therapy on Hair:

• Prevents hair loss and strengthens hair strands.
• Supports new hair growth, making hair appear fuller.
• Improves scalp nourishment and enhances hair follicle strength.
• Speeds up the healing process after hair transplantation.

Does Stem Cell Therapy Stop Hair Loss?

Stem cell therapy aims to reduce hair loss by nourishing hair follicles, strengthening hair strands, and supporting new hair growth. It can be effective on its own for individuals with mild hair loss, but in cases of severe hair loss, it is used as an adjunctive method alongside hair transplantation. Stem cells, which have the ability to transform into hair follicles in the treated area, may increase the number of hair follicles and strengthen existing hair strands, making the hair appear fuller. With its positive effects on hair health, stem cell therapy has an over 70% success rate.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are used in the treatment of many diseases and tissue-related issues due to their regenerative and reparative properties. They are commonly used in orthopedic, autoimmune, neuromuscular, and cardiological diseases to heal and repair damaged tissues. In aesthetic and dermatology, stem cells provide benefits in treating skin blemishes, strengthening hair,burn scars, reducing the effects of aging, and eliminating acne scars.

Two methods are used to obtain stem cells for therapy:

- Stem cell therapy from adipose tissue
- Stem cell therapy from bone marrow

The method to be applied is determined based on the area where the stem cells will be used, the individual’s physiological structure, and the purpose of the treatment. Stem cells can be obtained from the person's own body or a suitable donor. Stem cells obtained from adipose tissue are generally harvested from areas such as the thigh, abdomen, and hips.
