Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment | NYC

A stem cell is a type of “undifferentiated” or “unspecified” cell in the body – which means it is basically a “blank canvas” that can become other cell types that form the human body. In other words, a stem cell has no function of its own, other than replicating other types of body cells – and turning itself into the type of cell that is needed to perform a certain function.

When a person faces an injury or disease, the stem cells then “activate” and become the type of specialized cell the body needs for healing and replenishing itself. Stems cells have been used in “regenerative medicine” for a number of years, to treat chronic medical conditions, to restore joints, and to heal orthopedic and athletic injuries. Only very recently has stem cell technology been applied to the medical science of treating hair loss.

We are one the only medical practices in New York, New Jersey or on the East Coast offering this innovative and highly effective new hair loss treatment. Each individual’s hair loss is different. So stem cell treatments may work better for some patients, while other hair loss therapies we offer may work better for other patients. Or a combination of both may be most effective.

If you live in the greater New York City area, schedule a consultation at Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan to learn how Stem Cell and PRP therapy can help you regrow thicker, fuller, more beautiful hair!

How Stem Cells Treat Hair Loss

Stem cell therapy encourages healthy cell growth in areas of the body that have become damaged or diseased. Additionally, stem cells support healing mechanisms within the body, such those that reduce inflammation and scarring.

When utilized in hair loss treatments, stem cells are used to activate hair follicles that have become dormant and have stopped producing hair.

More technically, the stem cells induce changes in developing and mature hair follicles by a process called “paracrine signaling”. Each hair follicle is itself a type of mini-organ that can become damaged over time – and stop producing hair – due to environmental factors, hormone production or even hereditary factors.

When stem cells are injected into the scalp, they are believed to exert a “paracrine effect” that repairs the damage to the follicle and surrounding tissue and induces the hair cells to become more active.

Where Stem Cells Come From

In regenerative medicine stem cells can be harvested from a variety of sources. But during hair loss treatment stems cells are simply extracted from the patient’s own fat – usually the hip or the “belly”.

At our New York dermatology office, Dr. Goldenberg will extract fat from the patient’s body using a liposuction type technique. Then the extracted fat is spun to isolate the stem cells, using a special machine. The isolated stem cells are then reintroduced by injection into the areas of the scalp to be treated for hair loss.

Each individual’s hair loss is different. So stem cell treatments may work better for some patients, while other hair loss therapies we offer may work better for other patients. Or a combination of both may be most effective.

While Goldenberg Dermatology is on the cutting-edge of advanced cellular regeneration technologies for hair loss it is important to note that these treatments are experimental and have not yet been FDA approved.
