Hair Loss – Is Stem Cell Treatment the Cure?

Males suffering from pattern baldness may have finally found a savior in the advent of a new contender in the hair loss battle. Stem cell regenerative hair loss treatment offers a beacon of hope to those suffering under the heavy hand of genetic and age related hair loss.

Many people look at stem cell research as theoretical, but the truth is that it has very real applications which are highly effective and being used right now all over the world.

Until recently, there were a limited range of treatment options for hair loss sufferers, and the results were largely hit-or-miss. Many people resolved themselves to taking either topical or oral medications for the rest of their life without ever seeing significant improvement. Other people underwent painful hair transplant surgery which was both expensive and often took multiple attempts.

Some turned to alternative therapy in a desperate attempt to save themselves the honorary family baldness. Unfortunately, hair loss treatment remained largely elusive as a matter of luck or genetics.

Recoverup, a British company, has finally put the first foot forward in an attempt to bring a stem cell solution to the hair loss equation. While other pharmaceutical industries have been working to churn out an array of ineffective drugs for consumer use, Recoverup has managed to use autologous cells from a patient’s own body to stop and even reverse hair loss completely.

The stem cells that are used in the process are non-embryonic in nature and are actually taken from the fat in your body. This process eludes some of the ethical issues that people are faced with when trying stem cell treatments.

The results of a typical treatment show at least five years worth of positive hair growth in all areas of the scalp. This means that even areas that are not directly treated with the stem cells will be affected by the strengthening of the overall hair system.

There are very few people who are ineligible for stem cell treatment. Because the treatment works to regenerate already existing follicles, patients who are already completely bald may show significantly weaker results. For people who suffer from a bald spot or patches of thinning hair, steam cell regenerative hair treatment can restore most hair loss.

The treatment is a relatively quick and painless process and has the advantage of being a “same day” solution in many facilities. After a quick adipose extraction, the cells will be extracted and cultured and then reinserted in the problem area of your hairline. Because the needle that is used to reinject the healthy stem cells is microscopic in size, there is no post-treatment scarring although most people will experience swelling and irritation.

Once a treatment is completed successfully, you can start seeing a noticeable increase in hair density in just two weeks!

Stem cell hair regeneration treatment is totally safe so there’s no need to worry about side effects. The only risk that a person faces is the actual facility in which the treatment is done. Always make sure that you feel secure with the cleanliness and professionalism of your doctors as any medical procedure can carry a certain risk of infection.

If you are tired of suffering the social stigma that comes with your balding forehead, it may be time to look into what stem cell regenerative hair loss treatment can do for you. For those who were dealt the weaker hand in genetics, it may be the only option that will give you the results you want.

How Wayne Rooney got his new hairdo

Wayne Rooney recently underwent hair follicle transplant. What is hair follicle transplant?

Hair follicle transplant is a surgical procedure. It uses the actual hair of the surgery recipient, transplanting them from inconspicuous areas of the subject (usually the back and sides of the head) and replanting them into the balding area in small patches of 1-4 hairs, much like planting grass on your lawn, if you will pardon the analogy.

The subject is first injected with a local anesthetic to numb the area, and then using a “punch”, hairs are extracted from elsewhere for re transplant on the scalp. This is a delicate procedure, and is in no way like a skin graft, where large areas are removed, but miniscule patches of hair and even single hairs are removed from the area at a time. The tool used to remove the hairs is misleadingly called a punch, but is no bigger than, and is very representative of a needle. In fact the areas affected are so small, that when the hairs are removed, they are made ready for grafting by a second assistant with the use of a microscope.

Before that insertion of the hairs into the scalp, there are a series of small holes made into the skin of the scalp, using a needle, so that insertion is simplified and less painful, also speeding up recovery after the procedure.

Great care is made during this stage to make sure that once the hair is placed, its angle and growth flow is consistent with the patients’ natural hair pattern and is visibly undetectable by the casual observer after recover from the initial procedure.

The local anesthetic is the only pain killing substance used, and Mark Rooney was definitely awake while the transplant was taking place, though he is likely now taking some pain killers and anti inflammatory agents to reduce discomfort and swelling that is common for the first few weeks afterword.

While the treatment is only effective for those that have otherwise healthy hair growth and ample hair areas to be used as extraction opportunity, for most men, this is a very realistic and viable option for treatment.

Most men will not opt for follicle replacement therapy initially, an rightfully so. Both topical solutions, and prescription medication in this field have dramatically improved over the years, and are available for a very modest price in comparison with surgery. Even over the counter medications have come a long way. While you should still do your research and find the product that is appropriate for you or the one you love, with much improvement in the arena in the last decade, snake oil salesmen and fakes are less likely to reach the consumer who is armed with even the minimum information on the issue.

Whether you or someone you care about has just recently started to show the signs of male pattern baldness, or have almost completely lost their hair, it is advisable to check out as many options as possible before deciding that surgery is the right option for you. While effective, it is not cheap, does come with some initial discomfort, and may altogether be avoided is alternative treatments can serve as a solution before undergoing the knife (or needle in this case)

Hair transplants becoming more popular

Hair transplants can be carried out in the early days of hair loss or perhaps in the more advanced stages of baldness. Hair surgery procedures are one of the best permanent resolutions to hair thinning and loss, regardless of the reason behind the hair loss.

Hair transplants are the best alternative for those who prefer a surgical solution.

Today hair loss transplants are done with the latest techniques and  and thus a transplanted hairline that looks very natural. This doesn’t cause any visible scarring and get covered by the transplanted hair. The hair that is grafted continues to grow and won’t fall out.

Actor James Nesbitt spent tens of thousands of pounds on what seemed to be a remarkably successful hair surgery.

“They’ve changed my life. It’s horrible going bald. Anybody who says it isn’t is lying,” said Nesbitt. Rather than the pitted sprouting potato look seen on many unfortunate recipients of hair transplants, Nesbitt’s hair looks convincing enough to assist land him – he believed – major new roles that he would otherwise have been denied.

The success of the transplant doubtless had connected with the amount of money he can afford to spend on the job, however in the past hard cash didn’t always solve the problem. “All that money and he’s still got hair just like a dinner lady,” spat Boy George of Elton John, that has appeared to unsuccessfully confront his recessed hairline with various ineffectual treatments through the years.

Hair transplants can provide a brand new, natural-looking head of hair. While hair transplants do not actually add any hair towards the head, they can provide the appearance of more hair.

The process could be time-consuming, especially if large areas are now being transplanted or if the hairs ‘re going into delicate areas Any surgical treatment will always carry some form of risk- such as infection (which may be treated with an antibiotic).

With hair transplants , the potential risks are usually minor and correctible. Most complications may also be avoided by following the instructions of the doctor prior to and following the procedure.

Any surgical procedure takes a period of healing. Expect some pain and maybe a headache, particularly in the first couple of days. You will likely be told not to wash your hair for the first day or two.
