What Is Stem Cell Therapy for Hair Growth?

Stem cell–based therapy leverages your body’s regenerative potential (or carefully prepared biologics) to nourish hair follicles, optimize the scalp environment, and modulate inflammation that may hinder hair density and quality. Using targeted, precise injections to the scalp—and sometimes adjunct microneedling—treatment aims to improve hair caliber and coverage over time.


Note: Suitability and outcomes depend on hair loss type (e.g., androgenetic alopecia vs. diffuse shedding), duration, and overall health. A medical evaluation is required.

Who May Be a Candidate?

  • Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern thinning)
  • Diffuse thinning without scarring (after ruling out thyroid/iron/autoimmune causes)
  • Postpartum or stress-related shedding that has stabilized
  • Patients able to follow a multi-modal plan (scalp care, nutrition, low-level laser, meds when appropriate)

Not typically suitable for advanced/scarring alopecias. Contraindications include active scalp infection, certain blood disorders, pregnancy, or medical issues deemed unsafe by your physician.

Our Treatment Process

1) Comprehensive Assessment

Medical and hair history, scalp examination, labs as indicated (iron, thyroid, vitamin D), and baseline photos/trichoscopy.

2) Personalized Plan

Selection of target areas, dosing schedule, and adjuncts (e.g., microneedling, low-level laser, topical/oral therapies as appropriate).

3) Doctor-Supervised Procedure

Targeted, sterile injections across thinning zones; sessions are brief and office-based. Scalp comfort measures provided.

4) Integrated Hair-Health Program

Scalp hygiene, nutrition, stress/sleep strategies, optional growth-supportive devices, and scheduled follow-ups with comparative photos.

Expected Timeline & Results

  • Weeks 0–4: Scalp settling; early improvements in texture/shine for some patients
  • Months 2–3: Initial changes in hair caliber or reduced shedding
  • Months 4–6: Visible density improvement is most commonly reported window if responsive
  • 6–12 months: Maintenance strategy discussed; periodic boosters may be recommended

Results vary; no treatment can guarantee regrowth. Earlier intervention generally performs better than late-stage hair loss.

  • Minimally invasive, office-based sessions
  • Targets scalp health and follicle environment
