Stem Cell Treatment and Hair Transplant
As mentioned above, stem cell therapies are highly beneficial to damaged cells in any part of the body. A person’s scalp after a hair transplant operation is no exception to this. Since hair transplant doctors in Turkey realized that their hair transplant patients can also benefit from stem cell therapy, stem cell technologies became a part of hair transplant operations. Yes, stem cell therapy does shorten the recovery period for patients thanks to its healing qualities. But it also strengthens the existing hair of patients who get anxious about further hair loss. Unlike medicinal treatments, stem cell injection’s source is a person’s own body and it’s not as invasive as medicinal treatment which means it can’t wreak havoc on someone’s health since their body doesn’t need to adapt to a foreign agent.
Stem cell therapy’s benefit on hair transplant operations was first realized by Turkish hair transplant doctors. Because of the medical acumen of hair transplant operations, hair transplant doctors in Turkey became also the leaders of the revolutionary treatment of stem cell transplant for hair transplant operations.
Unlike medicinal treatments, stem cell therapy is a long-term therapy type which makes the therapy similar to PRP treatment. Whereas PRP therapy is stemmed from platelet-rich plasmas from the blood, therapy by stem cell injection is stemmed from the stem cells from the fat tissue from a person’s own body.
