stromal vascular fraction SVF adipose transplantation genetic alopecia scalp stem cell-enriched fat grafting autologous fat

TLDR SVF-enhanced fat injections may effectively treat baldness by promoting hair growth.

The study explored the use of stromal vascular fraction (SVF)-enhanced adipose transplantation as a treatment for male and female pattern baldness. The researchers investigated the safety, tolerability, and effects of subcutaneous scalp injections of enriched adipose tissue in patients with early genetic alopecia. The findings indicated that this method could potentially stimulate the hair growth cycle and serve as a promising alternative treatment for baldness. The study highlighted the role of adipose-derived regenerative cells in supporting hair growth through paracrine mechanisms, suggesting a novel approach to addressing hair loss.

community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility

in Research/Science 643 upvotes 7 months ago

Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
