Stem cells are obtained from the patient's own body. Stem cells can be obtained from many different organs and tissues in our body, and it is usually the preferred source adipose tissue for stem cell therapy in hair transplantation. Apart from adipose tissue, stem cells can also be obtained from umbilical cord, bone marrow, blood tissue and baby teeth. Since the stem cell has the ability to reproduce, renew and change itself, positive results can be obtained in the treatment of worn, weakened, decreased and thinned hair.
Stem cell treatments are often confused with PRP.
