Stem cell hair treatment: Everything you need to know

What does hair regeneration treatment with stem cells and platelet-rich plasma consist of?

Stem cell and platelet-rich plasma hair treatment has emerged as a promising option for hair regeneration, offering an effective solution to those looking to improve the quality of their hair or reverse hair loss. This innovative therapy combines the use of stem cells and plasma to nourish the scalp and stimulate hair growth. Below, we will explore in detail what this treatment consists of, how it works, and who the ideal candidates are.

Valeria Lizaola, an expert on the subject, explains that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a component extracted from the patient's own blood, used as a vehicle to deliver essential nutrients to the scalp. “Plasma is your own blood that serves as a vehicle to deliver vitamins. It can be based on exomes, stem cells, and platelet-rich plasma,” she says. This procedure consists of delivering nutrients directly to the hair follicles, improving circulation and promoting an environment conducive to hair regeneration. By properly nourishing the follicles, the growth of stronger and healthier hair is encouraged in areas where it was previously weak or thinning.

One of the main goals of this treatment is to improve the condition of the scalp. Over time, many experience hair thinning, a condition known as hair miniaturization, in which the follicles weaken and the hair becomes thinner and more fragile. This phenomenon is often related to a lack of adequate nutrients in the scalp, which directly affects the health of the hair follicles. “By bringing nutrients to the scalp and improving the condition of the scalp, the result is that the hair will grow,” says Lizaola. The treatment not only improves the quality of existing hair, making it thicker and stronger, but also stimulates the growth of new hair in areas where it previously did not grow or was weakened.
