Clinical use of conditioned media of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in female pattern hair loss: a retrospective case series study
June 2015
in “International Journal of Dermatology”
TLDR ADSC-CM treatment improved hair density and thickness in women with hair loss, safely and effectively.
This study investigated the use of conditioned media of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC-CM) in treating female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The study involved 27 women who received weekly applications of ADSC-CM for 12 weeks. The results showed a significant increase in hair density and thickness after treatment, with no adverse effects reported. The study suggests that ADSC-CM may be a safe and effective treatment option for FPHL.
