Autologous Regenerative Therapy and Bio-Photostimulation: A Surprising Combination

January 2025

androgenetic alopecia autologous regenerative therapy mesotherapy photobiostimulation adipose-derived stem cells stromal vascular fraction dermal papilla cells hair follicle stem cells AGA ART ADSCs SVF

The document discusses a novel treatment protocol for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) that combines Autologous Regenerative Therapy (ART) with mesotherapy and photobiostimulation. ART involves using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) obtained through a minimally invasive fat extraction process. This method ensures a high concentration of regenerative cellular components, which promote hair follicle regeneration by stimulating dermal papilla cells and hair follicle stem cells. This approach offers an alternative to traditional pharmacological treatments and surgical methods, addressing concerns about side effects and patient compliance.
