by Stem cell hair transplantation is a new and emerging procedure that uses stem cells to promote hair growth. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to develop into many different types of cells. In the case of hair transplantation, stem cells are extracted from the patient’s own body and then injected into the scalp. The stem cells are believed to help stimulate the growth of new hair follicles.
There are two main types of stem cell hair transplantation:
- Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) transplantation: In this procedure, stem cells are extracted from the patient’s fat tissue. The stem cells are then processed and injected into the scalp.
- Follicular unit stem cell (FUSC) transplantation: In this procedure, stem cells are extracted from the patient’s hair follicles. The stem cells are then processed and injected into the scalp.
Stem cell hair transplantation is still in its early stages of development, and there is limited research on its long-term safety and effectiveness. However, some studies have shown promising results. For example, one study found that ADSC transplantation resulted in significant hair growth in patients with male pattern baldness.

Stem cell hair transplantation is a more expensive and time-consuming procedure than traditional hair transplantation. It is also important to note that stem cell hair transplantation is not a cure for hair loss. The procedure may help to slow down hair loss and promote hair growth, but it is not guaranteed to stop hair loss completely.
If you are considering stem cell hair transplantation, it is important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience with the procedure. You should also discuss your expectations for the procedure with your doctor.
