Autologous hair follicle stem cell transfer is a treatment method used to combat androgenetic alopecia and other hair loss problems. The procedure is performed in a single session. During the treatment, a suspension of the patient’s own (autologous) cells is injected. The injected tissue suspension containing stem cells increases the number of progenitor (precursor) cells through mitotic division in the treated area, thus renewing the body tissues. Scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of stem cell therapy. Skin samples containing 3 hair follicles with a diameter of 2.5 mm each are taken from behind the ear and divided into particles smaller than 50 microns. Hair follicle stem cells, transformed into a solution, are injected into the areas of the scalp where hair loss is occurring. It takes about 2-3 months to see the results of the procedure. Combining it with other treatments enhances treatment effectiveness.
Vascular Stromal Fraction
The vascular stromal fraction procedure involves centrifuging a small amount of a person’s own tissue to isolate multipotent stem cells found within the adipose tissue. When applied to a specific tissue, it promotes the formation of new blood vessels and the repair of existing ones, resulting in improved vascularization of that tissue. When applied to the scalp, known as the scalp, it not only enhances blood circulation but also accelerates the growth phase (anagen) of hair follicles through various growth factors, structural proteins, and intermediary molecules called cytokines, while slowing down the transition to the destructive phase known as the telogen phase. It is a procedure performed with local anesthesia lasting approximately 2-3 hours.
