    TLDR The document concludes that using a person's own fat cells (SVF) can significantly increase hair thickness and density, suggesting it could be a promising treatment for hair loss.
    The document presents three studies on the use of autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) as a treatment for alopecia. The first study involved 35 patients and found a significant increase in hair density and thickness after treatment, with an average increase of 29 hairs/cm² and 0.014 mm, respectively. The second study involved nine patients aged between 43 and 64 years and showed a significant increase in hair density and keratin score within 6 months of transplantation. The third study involved a small number of subjects with an average age of 53 for males and 51.5 for females. It found that hair density significantly increased in the treated area by 48.11% compared to the non-treated area's 35.48% increase after 6 months. All studies concluded that SVF could be a promising treatment for alopecia, but further research is needed.
