Is “Stem Cell” injections are better option than hair transplant surgery?

Today, many hair loss treatments exist in the hair loss cure management. One of the hair loss cure techniques is called Stem Cell injections. Basically Stem cells are small progenitor cells found in our body and human hair follicles also contain stem cells, which helps in hair growth. In this procedure, Stem cell injection method is expected to work by activating already existing stem cells on the patient’s scalp, which have the potential to repair human tissue by forming new hair follicles. But, the problem is that this method is more effective than hair transplantation surgery? And the answer is no because, hair loss treatment involving stems cell injections is purely an experimental based method. What’s more, these surgical methods are usually experimental for a reason; stem cells are powerful, dominant, rapidly changing cells but, possess serious unpleasant side effects. Some of the accidental outcomes of stem cells include abnormal cell growth, body immune system issues, and even different types of cancer. These are the some serious issues and that is why stem cells must be researched and carefully studied before used as a medical hair loss treatment.


Due to this reason, stem cell injections are currently not a suggested as a hair loss treatment. Opposed to the effective and reliable hairtransplant surgery, stem cell injections have not been evaluated and proven secure and successful. Altogether, this leads to one very chief and major conclusion that the stem cell injections are not suggested for the cure of hair loss at this point in time.
