Stem Cell Therapy For Hair Loss

Writen by Martin Stephens

Stem cells are specific cells that are in the human body. In fact, we each started as a single stem cell, and divided into many cells and stem cells until we became a complete human body. As we age, these stem cells degenerate. If we get sick with illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, or auto immune diseases, our stem cells degenerate even more.

Through stem cell therapy, new stem cells are introduced to the body to repair or replace damaged cells. This is also called Regenerative Medicine, and for many, it can mean the difference between living and dying. Stem cell therapy can be given to patients through various means, including Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy (ESC), Fetal Stem Cell Therapy (FSC), Adult Stem Cell Therapy (ASC), Whole Cord Blood Stem Cell Therapy (CBSC), and Purified and Potentiated Cord Blood Stem Cell Therapy (PP-CBSC).

Again, Stem Cell Therapy can mean the difference between life and death for many people, but it can also help correct problems that are not fatal – such as hair loss. Scientists realized that if Stem Cell Therapy can help replace cells, it can be used to replace hair – particularly in cases of male pattern baldness. Many people have enjoyed great success with stem cell therapy while others do not see any results at all. However, the results should improve as research continues.

The stem cells are generated in a lab, and injected into the scalp. It typically takes more than one injection, on more than one occasion to see any results. This method of hair regeneration has been acclaimed globally, although it does not work for everyone.

The Mayo Clinic has done extensive research into the area of stem cell therapy, and the scientists there are very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Stem cell therapy can be used to restore good health to millions of people all over the world at some point.

One of the biggest concerns about stem cell therapy today is the fact that a patient's body could essentially reject the stem cell replacements. This could prove to be instantly fatal for the patient. However, to date, there have been no reported incidents of any type of rejections when it comes to stem cell therapy for hair loss. To find out if you are a candidate for stem cell therapy and treatment for hair loss, you should contact your doctor or your dermatologists.
