TLDR Using fat-derived stem cells for hair loss treatment is safe and effective, improving hair growth and patient satisfaction.
The document described the use of adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM), specifically a commercialized formulation called AAPEⓇ, for treating alopecia. The treatment, which was administered via intradermal injections along with vitamins and amino acids, was applied in 170 facilities in Japan. Significant hair growth was observed after 2-3 months, with increased patient satisfaction correlating with the number of treatments. A test involving 10 patients showed a significant increase in hair count on the treated side compared to the placebo side. Over 1,000 patients were treated without serious complications, indicating that ADSC-CM is a highly effective and safe treatment for hair regeneration with minimal side effects.
