Stem Cell Therapy

We can’t deny the fact that hair loss or damaged hair is a huge depressant for many. No doubt, it keeps haunting you every day. A stem cell hair transplant is similar to a traditional hair transplant. But rather than removing a large number of hairs to transplant to the area of hair loss, a stem cell hair transplant removes a small skin sample from which hair follicles are harvested. Stem cells are cells that have the potential to develop into different types of cells found in the body. They’re unspecialized cells that are unable to do specific things in the body.
