TLDR Autologous progenitor cell transplantation can effectively improve hair growth and quality with minimal side effects.
The document discusses androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause of hair loss in men and women, which is influenced by genetic factors and androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Traditional treatments include pharmacological options such as finasteride and minoxidil, and surgical hair transplantation. A new promising treatment is autologous progenitor cell transplantation, a minimally invasive procedure that leverages the patient's own regenerative cells. This method can significantly enhance hair follicle regeneration, improve hair quality, and delay the progression of hair loss with minimal risk of side effects.
