Stem Cell Therapy for Hair Regrowth

Platelet-rich plasma for hair growth and restoration

Dr. Charles Lee at Regenesis Stem Cell Center provides state-of-the-art hair restoration therapy for men and women who have experienced hair loss caused by cancer treatments, a scalp injury or wound, or other medical issues. Hair loss can devastate self-confidence, especially if paired with a severe injury or medical condition. Our stem cell therapy has successfully supported hair regrowth, sometimes without medication or hair transplantation. Patients at Regenesis choose our hair restoration therapy because they want an effective, non-invasive plan to regrow their hair and regain their self-confidence.

Who Should Seek Hair Restoration Procedures at Regenesis Stem Cell Center?

While hair loss has many causes – ranging from family genetics to stress – perhaps the most traumatic cause is a medical diagnosis or a head injury or wound. For patients who have been battling a cancer diagnosis, for example, the loss of their hair can steal their inner reserves of strength and can even contribute to depression. Following chemotherapy or radiation treatments, topical minoxidil (also known as Rogaine) is the only recommended medical treatment to support hair growth, often with limited success. At Regenesis, however, we have seen impressive results in platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair regrowth following cancer treatments.

Another distressing cause of hair loss could be a head wound due to an injury or surgery. If you have suffered a head injury or had to undergo surgery that left you with a scalp wound, you may be experiencing hair loss surrounding the injury or surgical scar. Again, topical treatments for hair regrowth in those areas might not have the success you want. You do have more options: Platelet-rich plasma therapy at Regenesis Stem Cell Center is non-invasive and non-surgical, and we have seen many patients regain their self-confidence with our hair regrowth therapy.

Regenesis Stem Cell Center Uses Platelet-Rich Plasma Procedures for Hair Regrowth

While we can perform stem cell therapy at Regenesis Stem Cell Center, most of the injections we perform for hair loss are platelet-rich plasma. We often do not need an entire stem cell procedure because the scalp has a robust blood supply. The ample growth factors released by platelet-rich plasma injections can revitalize your hair follicles as much or more than a complete stem cell therapy by attracting and amping up stem cells already circulating in your scalp. Since our platelet-rich plasma therapy has such excellent results, more comprehensive stem cell therapies are usually unnecessary.

While topical or hair transplant procedures are not imperative for success with our hair restoration therapy at Regenesis, they can be paired with platelet-rich plasma therapy. Often even hair transplant clinics will require platelet-rich plasma injections in conjunction with their transplants because of the improved results. Dr. Lee at Regenesis frequently works with hair transplant surgeons. If you are considering a hair transplant, you should schedule a consultation with Regenesis Stem Cell Center to talk with Dr. Lee about choosing a doctor whose hair transplant procedure works well with platelet-rich plasma hair restoration therapies.

Our Procedure for Platelet-Rich Plasma Procedures at Regenesis Stem Cell Center

Before you begin your hair regrowth therapy, Dr. Lee will confirm the underlying cause of your hair loss. He will order a set of labs that may reveal factors that are contributing to your hair loss in addition to your cancer treatments, head injury, or other medical diagnoses. Those factors could be a vitamin or mineral deficiency or, quite often, a hormonal imbalance. With the results of that lab work in hand, we can recommend a hair regrowth plan for you that could include topical or oral medications and platelet-rich plasma injections.

If you choose platelet-rich plasma as part of your care plan, the therapy begins with a visit to Regenesis, where we collect a sample of your blood and process it to isolate your red blood cells and remove your platelet-rich plasma. Before the procedure, Dr. Lee will apply an anesthesia block or allow you to inhale nitrous oxide to help alleviate any discomfort. Then he carefully and precisely injects your platelet-rich plasma into your scalp using a very thin needle. While some practices only use micro-needling to prick the skin before rubbing platelet-rich plasma on top, Dr. Lee views this as an inadequate therapy. Our therapies are effective because your platelet-rich plasma is injected deep into the dermis, where your hair follicles and supporting connective tissue are accessible.

With the injections, your plasma releases stimulating growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and healing. The therapy strengthens your hair follicles by regenerating the papilla – the cup-like connective tissue structure in the dermis that carries the blood supply to the hair follicle. As those hair follicles are repaired, you will quickly begin to see hair regrowth with complete hair follicle restoration in as little as three to six months.
