Stem Cell Hair Transplant: The New Revolution

17 June, 2016

While baldness is not life-threatening, it can have a devastating effect on a person’s confidence.

Hair loss, especially frontal hair loss is an increasing cause of concern for a whole lot of people. In fact,  it affects not just men but literally millions of women as well, all over the world. Finding that one’s hairline is retreating faster than Napoleon’s armies at Waterloo, is doubtless quite an emotionally painful experience. A visibly bald head is often a leading cause of both low self esteem as well as decreased self confidence.

research indicates that  seventy five percent of all men will experience at least some form of hair loss by the age of 35. While around forty percent of women are also similarly affected as well.

Hair loss treatment options though the ages

Till now, people going through the trauma of permanent hair loss had limited options. They could try wearing a wig or toupee (some of the good ones did the trick while others looked remarkably like a furry animal sitting on the wearer’s head),vitamin and supplements treatment or outright hair transplants.

Hair transplants when they first appeared were long painful procedures that often led to infections and headaches and took ages to show any visible effects. But that was then, while today medical science has discovered the wonders of ‘stem cell hair transplant’ and many hair restoration physicians have also started to use ‘stem cells’ to treat and stabilise long term hair loss. doctors   refer to stem cells as ‘mother cells’ due to the fact that they have the potential to effectively divide and produce any type of cell in the body.

How it works

Our hair grows out of follicles, which stop working for a variety of reasons, as we grow older. And once a follicle goes dormant, it stops making a new hair.. Cutting edge medical science research has discovered that stem cells may also be used to stimulate hair cells into growing hair again, in fact, such stem cells help in growing new follicles (thus new hair) when transplanted directly onto the scalp.

Basically, what happens is that our hair follicles shrink as part of the natural aging process and stop growing hair altogether. The newly transplanted stem cell re-energises the dormant and shrunken follicles thus allowing you to have a head full of rich strong hair..

No side effects

Unlike other types of hair transplant treatments, there is no  invasive surgery required and no permanent scarring either. Stem cell therapy has the unique ability of not only helping you recover from your hair loss issues but it also helps improve the overall texture and quality of your hair.
