Hair Growth Procedure

This ​Hair Growth procedure is from Barcelona, Spain, and started commercially in the year 2014. More than 30,000 were performed worldwide on Androgenetic Alopecia, wound healing, diabetic ulcers, and vitiligo.

​

This has zero downtime, no side effects (autologous = depends on patient’s cell regenerative ability), no extra chemicals introduced, Homologous (cells extracted are differentiated cells, meant to grow hair).

How is the procedure done?

  • Takes about 30mins

  • About a 10-cent coin-sized area is shaved at the nape area for a biopsy to be taken

  • 3-4 biopsy samples of skin are taken painlessly from the nape area (no stitching needed as each biopsy is small at 2.5mm)

 

Skin samples contain

  • Extracellular matrix (ECM): guides cell division, growth, and development. In other words, the extracellular matrix largely determines how a tissue looks and functions. Progenitor cells (differentiated cells meant to grow hair)

  • Growth factors (protein alpha-granules)

  • Stromal vascular cells (fat tissue for regenerative purposes)

  • Extracted cells are being processed into about 50-60 micron-sized (the ideal size for hair growth) via machine into micrografts

  • Micrografts are then reinjected back into thinning areas of the scalp

AUTOLOGOUS USE HOMOLOGOUS TISSUE ONE SURGICAL TIME

What benefit does it give?

  • Androgenetic Alopecia

  • Non-scarring alopecia: most frequent; affects men and women; hair follicles are not destroyed; response to hair-loss treatments.

  • Some are reversible.

  • Male (Escala de Hamilton-Norwood scale 1-3)

  • Female (Ludwig scale1 & 2)

Suitable for:

  • Stimulate inactive hair follicles to grow more hair

  • Provide a healthy environment for hair growth

  • Regenerate healthy cells for hair growth via angiogenesis for the development of new blood vessels

  • Stromal vascular cells (fat tissue) for regenerative activity

Not suitable for:

  • Other types of hair loss except for Androgenetic Alopecia (e.g. Lichen Planopillaris, Tricho-Tillomania, Alopecia Acreta

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

  • Fever or infectious/ inflammatory / dermatosis scalp conditions

  • Scarring alopecia (irreversible; hair follicles are destroyed)

  • Allergy to Lidocaine

  • On long term anticoagulant/ blood-thinning medications
