Glossary Cell Regeneration

process where cells repair or replace themselves

Cell regeneration, also known as cell renewal or cell repair, is the process by which cells undergo repair or replacement to maintain tissue health and function. This biological mechanism is crucial for healing wounds, recovering from injuries, and maintaining the integrity of tissues such as skin, hair, and internal organs. In the context of hair, effective cell regeneration can help combat conditions like alopecia by promoting the growth of new hair follicles.

learn Hair Transplant

Can a hair transplant be combined with other treatments? Clinics commonly say a transplant is combined with other treatments, most often minoxidil, finasteride or PRP, but the evidence behind each add-on differs. Some of the add-ons offered, such as stem-cell or exosome products, are not approved treatments for hair loss.

learn Stem Cell Factor

What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor promotes hair growth by signaling cell survival and division.
How does stem cell factor help activate dormant hair follicles? Stem cell factor activates dormant hair follicles by signaling through the c-Kit receptor.
Are stem cell factor products safe for long-term scalp use? Stem cell factor products lack proven long-term safety for scalp use.
