4 / 801 results- Can a hair transplant be combined with other treatments?

Some of the add-ons offered, such as stem-cell or exosome products, are not approved treatments for hair loss.
- Can stemoxydine help improve hair density in both men and women? Stemoxydine is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair loss drug, and the manufacturer's three-month trials enrolled men only, reporting a small increase in measured hair density. One small uncontrolled study that included women reported improvement in both sexes but more in men, so a benefit for women is not established.
