Sequential Scalp Assessment in Hair Regeneration Therapy Using an Adipose-Derived Stem Cell–Conditioned Medium
June 2020

TLDR Using a special stem cell formula on the scalp once a month for six months helped people with hair loss grow more hair.
In a study of 40 patients with alopecia, the application of adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) through intradermal injections monthly for 6 months resulted in significant improvements in hair growth. The study observed a notable increase in hair density and the rate of anagen (growth phase) hairs. Additionally, there was a significant increase in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) at 4 and 6 months, although hydration and skin surface lipid levels did not change. Dermal thickness and echogenicity also increased significantly. These findings suggest that ADSC-CM could be a promising alternative treatment for alopecia, with potential regenerative effects on hair follicles and the interfollicular scalp.
