Hair thinning and hair loss concern and psychologically affect both men and women, even at a young age.
Today, by utilizing autologous components, we are able to activate living hair follicles that are simply weak and stressed due to organic or environmental factors, helping to improve the condition of the hair root and increase blood circulation to the follicles.
There are three recommended treatment options for the scalp before proceeding to hair transplantation:
- PRP therapy with autologous growth factors, involving the collection of a small amount of blood (just like a routine blood test).
- Stem cell therapy, with the extraction of a small amount of fat from a suitable area of the patient’s body, performed simply and painlessly under local anesthesia.
- Combined therapy using a mixture of platelets and stem cells for more impressive and longer-lasting results.
The selection of the appropriate treatment is made after an individualized assessment by Dr. G. Chorti and following detailed information provided to the patient regarding the procedure, treatment frequency, and the expected results.
The role of stem cells
Stem cells are cells that continuously reproduce and have the ability to transform into any other type of cell in the human body. Stem cell therapy for the treatment of hair loss is significantly more powerful and effective compared to the application of PRP alone. The combination of these two treatments is revolutionary, as it brings together the beneficial effects of stem cells and regenerated platelets (PRP) for the treatment of hair loss and the regeneration of the scalp, delivering long-lasting results.
The treatment applied by Plastic Surgeon Georgia Chorti at the “Profilelaser” Center, throughout all stages of the procedure, delivers impressive results for individuals who notice continuous hair thinning and progressively weaker hair strands.
The stem cells used to treat hair loss are harvested from each patient’s own body fat, making this an autologous, fast, safe, and painless therapy. They enhance scalp vitality, slow down the natural aging of the hair follicle, and at the same time promote cellular regeneration.
Results
The results of the treatment are visible even after a single session, although the number of sessions required depends on the severity of each individual’s condition.
New, strong, and healthy hair begins to grow after approximately one and a half months, while hair density continues to improve gradually over a period of up to one year. The result is permanent and follows the natural aging process of the scalp, lasting at least a decade and, in many cases, for a lifetime.
The treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing hair thinning, provided that hair follicles are still present and have not been destroyed. When stem cell and PRP therapy is applied in a timely manner, permanent hair loss of the scalp can be prevented.
The treatment
The role of the two autologous therapies applied in combination is as follows:
After evaluating hair quality and confirming the presence of active follicles, the physician administers local anesthesia and collects a small amount of fat from a suitable area of the body using a very fine cannula, along with a small blood sample obtained through simple blood draw. Using specialized centrifugation equipment available at the clinic, the primitive stem cells to be used are isolated.
The plasma platelets are then mixed with the stem cells and injected through small injections across the entire area of scalp thinning.
The role of stem cells is to differentiate into cells that create new blood vessels, which are essential for increasing blood supply to the hair follicles. They are responsible for ensuring long-term hair strength and the lasting results of the treatment. Strengthened hair follicles with enhanced blood circulation produce new, healthy hair that becomes denser and grows naturally with long-lasting results.
The procedure is painless, safe, and does not require anesthesia or medication. The total duration of the treatment is approximately one hour.
Request an appointment with the physician for an evaluation of the hair loss issue you are experiencing.
