Hair (Follicles)

Healthy hair has always been seen as an integral part of an attractive look. So much so that people tried to complete this beauty with exaggerated, colorful and shiny wigs for a while. For this reason, hair loss has become sensitive health and aesthetic problem for all men and women. Hair loss is one of the most common aesthetic problems today.

The perception that hair loss is an incurable condition, as well as the lack of awareness about this issue, has changed today.  As soon as hair loss is noticed, all women, men, young and old are in search of treatment to solve this problem. Although “hair transplantation” is our treatment option in individuals with hair loss, PRP and hair stem cell treatment are performed to strengthen existing hair and prevent hair loss in cases where hair loss continues.

Hair stem cell treatment is undoubtedly the most promising and developed non-surgical treatment method for hair loss treatment to date. Stem cells are precursor cells that are found in the body and can turn into various cell types. Hair follicles also contain stem cells. However, hair stem cells may be damaged or passive in situations that result in male or female-type baldness. By injecting fat-derived stem cells into the scalp, damaged hair follicles can be repaired and new hair growth can be effectively stimulated. Using stem cells obtained from fat, a revolutionary “hair stem cell treatment” has emerged in hair loss. Fat is chosen as a source of stem cells because it is the tissue in the body that contains the most stem cells. So much so that there are 1000 times more stem cells in the adipose tissue than in the bone marrow.

For hair stem cell treatment, the stem cells are separated from the fat taken from the body parts (abdomen, hips, etc.) where the most fat is found within 1-2 hours by a special process. Stem cells separated from fat are injected into the scalp and hairless skin.  Hair treatment with stem cells strengthens existing hair follicles and activates dormant hair follicles to enter the growth phase. Hair stem cell treatment can stimulate growth by activating existing inactive and weak hair follicles.

“Stem cell therapy can be administered alone as a treatment method for hair loss or in combination with hair transplantation to achieve better results.”

Hair loss treatment with Stem Cell Injection

Stem cells are cells that have not yet branched but have the potential to turn into every cell needed (cartilage, bone, hair follicle, etc.).  It can be thought of as young cells that can be divided into different tissues, differentiated and shaped. Stem cells are also the natural regeneration cells of your body. Stem cells injected into the hair investigate damaged or diseased tissues and provide repair and restoration of these tissues.

Hair follicles also contain stem cells. However, hair loss and thinning occur as hair follicles shrink and are unable to stimulate new hair development in cases of hair loss or baldness.

Stem cells from adipose tissue, called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), can be injected into the hairless areas of the scalp to activate existing hair follicles that were previously dormant. Although there are three main stem cell sources (blood, fat, and bone marrow) in the body, adipose tissue (fat cells) is considered the richest source of stem cells. While stem cells themselves secrete strong growth factors that promote hair growth, platelets and growth factors in PRP are thought to trigger this regeneration process.

For this reason, “Combined applications are preferred because the combined application of Hair Stem Cell treatment and PRP treatment to the hair leads to more successful results.”

How Is Hair Stem Cell Treatment Performed with Stem Cells Obtained from Fat?

Stem cells are removed in a sufficient amount by a mini liposuction procedure. Stem cells are separated from the abdominal fat by a special procedure.  Fat tissue is considered a stem cell-rich treatment for hair loss.

In addition to being combined with PRP therapy to increase hair follicle growth and hair density, hair stem cell application may also make the results of a hair transplant surgery more successful. Is injecting fat into the hair or injecting fat into the hair a known treatment?

Yes, it is widely used as a stand-alone procedure to inject fat into the hair or to increase the growth and density of hair follicles on the scalp by injecting fat into the hair. Fat was injected into the hair to stop hair loss (also known as a fat injection into the head). Similarly, after hair transplantation, in order to increase the success of hair transplantation, the method of injecting fat into the hair can be used in the following years. The way fat is injected into the hair is through the stem cells in the fat we just mentioned. However, today, it is possible to inject the stem cells in the fat into the scalp in a pure manner without the need for fat injection by stem cell separation methods.
