Stem Cell Hair Transplantation

What is Stem Cell Hair Transplantation?

Stem cell hair transplantation is a method in which stem cells are used to stimulate the growth and regeneration of hair follicles. Stem cells are cells in the body that are responsible for the formation of new tissue.

Stem cell hair transplantation is a newer method compared to the classical transplantation methods. According to the classical hair transplantation methods, hair follicles are taken from the donor area and transplanted to the bald area. In stem cell hair transplantation, stem cells are injected directly into the bald area and it is performed; therefore, the success rate of the hair transplantation process is increased by ensuring better adhesion of the follicles.

Organic hair transplantation with stem cells allows the hair transplantation process to be performed comfortably with fat injection enriched with stem cells obtained from the patient’s own fat, it also makes the thinned and balding area healthy.

How Many Days Does Stem Cell Hair Transplantation Take?

Stem Cell hair transplantation consists of 2 stages. Firstly, a small piece of tissue taken from the patient is sent to the laboratory for reproduction. In the second stage, these cells are injected into the balding area of the patient, and then hair transplantation is performed. It is terminated between 4 and 6 hours.
