Hair loss and even
thin hair can lead to embarrassment and potential depression as the affliction
can take more than a physical toll. People get distressed as it becomes
exasperating being the butt of quips and jokes in public. This can also
severely dent their self-confidence. With advancing age or of the additional
stress of modern lifestyles, hair follicles shrink and stop responding to the
chemical signals that trigger hair growth. Many clinical and some natural
remedies are available for the problem. Stem cell therapy is at the cutting
edge of these treatments.
Stem cell hair loss therapy is a
non-surgical treatment which works by stimulating inactive and damaged hair
follicles. Stem cells are present in the center of the follicle that ensures a
consistent growth. Stem cell provides them a continuous supply of cells. In the
treatment, a few follicles are taken from the scalp and then cultured in a lab
to multiply their number. This can take a few days to a few weeks. The number
of follicles taken and the amount cultured varies based on the individual case.
For most moderate baldness, the culture period lasts two to three weeks.
Once the culture has
created the requisite number of new hair, the patient is called in for a second
sitting. After that, the processed hair in transplanted into the affected area.
This is an efficient way of treating the damaged hair follicles. It enables the
follicles to multiply rapidly, and that supports hair growth.
Stem cell process is
not at all a complicated one. It is important to remember that the process
differs from person to person, usually depending on whether they have mild or
heavy hair loss. So if a friend got results in just two weeks, and you are told
to wait for three, do not despair. The treatment is also not recommended for
heavy or complete baldness.
For people who are
suffering from heavy hair loss, another treatment, called hair restoration
process is used. It involves the extraction of some blood from the patient. It
is then processed by centrifugation and injected in the afflicted area of the
scalp. The processed blood stimulates natural hair growth. This treatment is
also known as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy.
Stem cell hair
transplant therapy fights baldness as well as it improves the quality and
texture of hair. It has no side effects and is completely safe. Since it does
not involve extended recovery, it also does not conflict with the day-to-day
life of the patient.
