TLDR Stem cell therapy shows promise for treating hair loss by promoting hair growth.

Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, by aiming to reactivate hair follicle stem cells to promote hair growth and regeneration. Techniques include stem cell transplants, conditioned media derived from stem cells, and exosomes from stem cells. These methods have shown potential in advancing hair follicle development and addressing hair loss in both males and females.
