But rather than removing a large number of hairs to transplant to the area of hair loss a stem cell hair transplant removes.
Hair regrowth with stem cell technology.
In stem cell treatment for hair loss a punch biopsy is done to extract stem cells.
A machine called a centrifuge is then used to separate the stem cells from the tissue that has been obtained from a biopsy.
A team of researchers from cologne and helsinki has discovered a mechanism that prevents hair loss.
It involves growing hair from stem cells not fetal but stem cells derived from a person s own skin or blood and implanting hair follicles rich with dermal papillae into the space around a person s.
Once the stem cells have been obtained they are injected back into the regions experiencing hair loss where they trigger the growth of hair.
Hair follicle stem cells and their daughter cells participate in a regenerative cycle that can slow to a halt if too few daughter cells fail to recapture their stemness that is if they fail to.
A stem cell hair transplant is similar to a traditional hair transplant.
