Hair loss, scientifically known as alopecia, is a common condition that can affect individuals of all ages and genders. It can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, and environmental factors. The most common type of hair loss is Androgenetic Alopecia, which is hereditary and often linked to hormonal changes, specifically the influence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on hair follicles.
Regenerative medicine offers a promising approach to address hair loss by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities. One of the innovative techniques involves the use of stem cells. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to transform into specialized cells. In the context of hair loss, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are particularly significant.
MSCs can differentiate into various cell types, including those found in hair follicles. Researchers have been exploring the potential of MSCs to stimulate hair follicle regeneration and promote hair growth. These cells can be derived from various sources, such as adipose tissue, bone marrow, or umbilical cord tissue. When applied to the scalp, MSCs have shown the ability to stimulate the dormant hair follicles, induce the production of growth factors, and modulate the immune response, contributing to hair regeneration.
Another promising regenerative medicine approach for hair loss involves platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP is derived from the patient’s blood and contains a concentrated amount of platelets rich in growth factors. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates hair follicles, promotes blood circulation, and accelerates the healing process. This therapy has shown positive results in enhancing hair density and thickness.
Hair Loss Therapy Using PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma and Its Use in Hair Regrowth: A Review
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was described as a small volume of plasma containing higher concentrations of platelets than those found in peripheral blood and initially used as a transfusion product for treatment of thrombocytopenia. To date, it was discovered that there are several growth factors and cytokines that can accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration, leading to a wider range of applications in the medical field, such as in sport medicine, regenerative medicine, and aesthetic medicine. Several studies have shown that PRP can be used effectively for treatment of hair loss.
