[영상]Hair follicle regeneration, which is impossible with hair loss medication, is stem cell treatment possible?[의사결정]

For modern people, hair loss is no longer someone else’s story. Many people, regardless of age or gender, suffer from hair loss due to various causes such as stress, genetics, and lifestyle habits. In the meantime, in order to prevent hair loss from progressing, many people took hair loss medication or transplanted the back of their hair forward through hair transplant procedures, but it was difficult to expect more hair to grow. So, is there a more fundamental solution to hair loss?

In response to these questions, Choi Kyeong-hee, CEO of Joo&Clinic, appeared on CBS Nocut Biz’ YouTube channel ‘Decision Making’ and recommended ‘stem cell hair loss treatment’ as an alternative to these concerns. And then “Stem cell hair loss treatment strengthens the scalp and hair follicles, preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth.”He explained.

Stem cells that regenerate and differentiate cells

There are over 30 trillion cells in our body, and each of these cells performs a unique role. Among them, stem cells are ‘undifferentiated cells’ that regenerate and differentiate into other cells when other cells are ineffective. Hair loss mainly occurs as hair becomes thinner and falls out, but the fundamental cause is the condition of the scalp or weakening of the hair follicles. So, if you add stem cell factors to the weakened hair follicles and scalp of people with hair loss, you can save the degenerated hair follicle cells and create strong hair. In fact, there is a case where a woman who had almost no hair grew her hair to the point where she could tie it up after receiving stem cell treatment. This can be seen as the hair follicles becoming stronger, an environment in which hair can grow well, and a noticeable change occurring.

Culture is ‘prohibited’, but same-day extraction procedure is ‘possible’

Sometimes you may have heard that stem cell treatment is ‘possible abroad, but is legally prohibited in Korea.’ This is partly true. However, not all stem cell treatments are banned in Korea. In Korea, culturing and using stem cells is legally restricted, but same-day extraction and treatment is possible. Stem cell hair loss treatment is performed by improving the hair follicle and scalp environment using stem cell factors extracted on the same day, rather than using cultured stem cells. In this way, stem cell treatment is possible in Korea, there are no problems at all, and it is widely used as a new hair loss treatment method.

The procedure can be done in one day… You may see results after just one treatment.

Stem cell treatment may seem like a complex and time-consuming treatment, but it is actually a very simple procedure. In the past, complex methods were used to extract stem cells and it took a long time, but recently, a kit has been developed that can extract stem cells in about 30 minutes after collecting blood. The method involves drawing blood, separating stem cells, and then injecting them into the scalp. The treatment effect varies greatly from person to person and depending on the condition of the scalp, but some people see great results with just one treatment. Usually, patients who experience hair loss due to aging see improvement after receiving multiple treatments consistently over several months. Stem cell treatment, unlike taking hair loss medication, can be treated by anyone of any age or gender, and a major advantage is that patients can see the effects within a relatively short period of time.

If you are currently experiencing hair loss, you may want to consider stem cell treatment.

There are several types of hair loss, including hereditary hair loss, female hair loss, hair loss due to aging, and stress hair loss. So, what types of hair loss patients is stem cell treatment effective for? Regarding this, Director Choi said, “If hair loss has just begun, receiving treatment right away is most effective, and even if hair loss has progressed to a large extent, continued treatment is effective enough.” “It is difficult to see the effect on a dead head,” he explained. This is because in the completely dead stage, there are no hair follicles that can be saved, so stem cell treatment cannot be effective. In this case, it is better to use other hair loss treatment methods such as hair transplant. However, if very thin and weak hair is visible and remains, the hair can be saved with stem cell treatment, so it is a good idea for such a person to actively consider stem cell hair loss treatment.
