Hair Loss and Stem Cell Therapy

Hair loss is very common, whether it is male or female hair loss, it can be equally damaging to the self esteem. There are now many proven treatments available but the most recent we use at Stemvita, is the Nanofat stem cell transplant therapy.

Like all our treatments, it is based around the regenerative power of stem cells to initiate a healing process within the skin, encouraging both skin and surrounding hair to repair itself. This thickens up the hair shaft, looking stronger and healthier again, instead of weak, wispy and miniaturised.

Recently, both male and female hair loss has been found to be caused by an autoimmune response in the cells of the hair bulb, the effects of DHT on the hair follicle and other secondary factors. So to achieve the best hair loss treatment available, it isn’t enough just to take a DHT blocker tablet (see http://www.westminsterclinic.co.uk/hair-loss-treatment/non-surgical-procedures/hair-loss-drugs-and-devices/) but also to tackle the immunology too.

This is why, even if you are taking an anti DHT tablet, had a hair transplant or trying PRP, it’s important to consider a Stemvita stem cell transplant.

Hair Growth Q & A

What causes hair loss?

Hair follicles cycle through stages of growth and rest. When the follicle enters a resting phase, the existing hair falls out. Before long, the follicle returns to a growth phase and a new hair replaces the lost hair.

Many problems can affect the hair follicle, interfere with the growth cycle, and cause hair loss. Emotional stress, medications, nutrient deficiencies, significant weight loss, and at least 30 medical conditions are known to cause hair loss. However, the most common reason for balding is androgenetic alopecia.

What is androgenetic alopecia?

Androgenetic alopecia, also called male- and female-pattern baldness, is an inherited condition that makes hair follicles more sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). As a result, DHT shortens the growth phase, which makes hairs grow shorter and thinner. Over time, they stop growing completely.

When women develop androgenetic alopecia, they experience diffuse hair thinning all over their scalp. In men, hair loss due to DHT causes distinct balding patterns. Men start losing hair at their temples (called a receding hairline) and on the top of their head. Then the hair loss progresses to include their entire scalp except for a ring of hair along the bottom of the hairline.

How does stem cell therapy promote natural hair growth?

Stem cells have the ability to continuously self-renew and develop the specific cells your body needs to repair and regenerate. They also release a variety of chemicals that promote cellular growth andhealing. So if you are looking for a hair loss stem cell treatment, then Stemvita has the technology to help.
