TLDR SVF-enhanced adipose transplantation shows potential as a hair loss treatment.
This document summarizes a study on the use of stromal vascular fraction (SVF)-enhanced adipose transplantation for hair growth in patients with baldness. The study involved injecting a mixture of purified adipose, ADRCs, and Lactated Ringer's into the scalp. Nine patients underwent the procedure, and six-month follow-up data was available for six patients. Results showed an increase in hair count, anagen percentage, telogen percentage, and cumulative thickness. The study suggests that stromal vascular fraction-enhanced adipose transplantation may be a promising treatment for hair loss.
