Hello. This is Dr. Cho Young-min.

Today, regarding what we offer at our ANZ Dermatology Clinic to improve hair loss,

I would like to talk about stem cell injections.

I have attached my earlier post that briefly summarizes stem cells.

If Money Could Buy Youth? (Stem Cell IV Injection)#IntravenousStemCellInjection #StemCellTreatment #CheongdamANZStemCell #DrChoYoungmin #DrKwonYoungsin Hello. I'm Dr. Cho Young-min...Doctor's Column

Today, rather than the intravenous stem cell injection that can work throughout the whole body,

To deliver a strong effect to a localized area,

I will talk about the method of injecting stem cells directly into the areas that need regeneration.

In fact, it is widely used for treating joints and nerves, and

Treatments for cosmetic purposes are being actively carried out on facial skin and the scalp.

Today's topic is hair loss, a concern for so many people!

Among types of hair loss, alopecia areata does not apply, and

This story focuses on male-pattern hair loss, a phenomenon caused by aging.

What Causes Male-Pattern Hair Loss?

So much information is available that many people know about it at an almost expert level.

The cause has not yet been 100% identified, and

In the areas where hair loss occurs, the cells produce large amounts of certain substances.

So, we thought, 'Let's develop a treatment that blocks it,' and what came out of that are

Currently, the oral medications finasteride (Propecia) and dutasteride (Avodart)

and minoxydil, which is used both orally and topically. (This one works through a somewhat different mechanism.)

However, these drugs analyze hair loss, a result that has already occurred, at the cellular level, and

These came out of research aimed at stopping the progression of hair loss as much as possible.

This does not provide an answer to the more fundamental question of why hair loss occurs.

It is said that receptors for a hormone that promotes hair loss are found in areas of hair loss, but

whether the receptors for that hormone came to be expressed as the environment of the area changed while the hair loss progressed,

or whether the receptor is genetically present in that area from the start, we do not know. (For now, this is the prevailing view.)

In other words, whether it is a result or a cause

is still not 100% clearly established.

However, what we can observe with certainty is

that as hair loss progresses, the scalp environment grows increasingly barren.

The scalp of advanced male-pattern hair loss is almost the same as the scalp of an elderly person in their 60s or 70s.

Male-pattern hair loss = hair loss caused by aging

that this formula holds true.

In an area affected by hair loss, you can tell that the scalp feels very hard when touched.

On the left are a healthy scalp and hair; on the right are an aged scalp and hair.

1) The scalp becomes thin and hard (turning into scar tissue)
2) As the blood vessels degenerate, the hair follicles no longer receive proper nutrition and waste products build up

If we compare hair to a plant,

The scalp can be compared to soil.

Just as plants can grow well only when the soil is healthy,

When the scalp becomes healthy again, the hair inevitably becomes healthier as well.

How Can the Scalp Be Made Healthy Again?

we need to regenerate all the layers of the scalp where the hair is located.

because topical medications can only affect the outer part of the scalp,

it must be administered by injection, and

This kind of treatment that regenerates the entire scalp is precisely

stem cell hair loss treatment.

Stem cells differentiate into the form most needed in the relevant area, and

It makes the collagen tissue around the hair soft and healthy again, and

By regenerating the blood vessels around the hair follicles,

it supplies the hair follicles with sufficient nutrition and allows the accumulated waste products to be removed.

What Makes ANZ Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Special

Not only localized stem cell hair loss treatment but also

If intravenous stem cell injection is combined as well,

because the stem cells travel along the blood vessels that lead into the hair follicles and provide a regenerative effect once more,

the effect is bound to be maximized.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, since male-pattern hair loss = aging-type hair loss,

it has the characteristic of progressing into scar tissue.

The main culprit that turns the tissue into scar tissue like this is a substance called TGF-β.

When Botox, which we commonly know, is injected into a scar area,

It has the effect of suppressing TGF-β, so for scar treatment and hair loss treatment these days,

Botox is widely used.

Therefore, if an appropriate amount of Botox is also combined on a scalp affected by hair loss,

It is no exaggeration to say that every treatment for regenerating the scalp has been done.

Understanding these diverse mechanisms and

Restoring the scalp to as healthy a state as possible

What makes ANZ Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment special.

A man in his late 30s, with a condition that had been progressing for 10 years

For male-pattern hair loss near the crown,

we administered intravenous stem cell injection + CellMaster hair loss injections + scalp Botox treatment.

The same area at the crown of the head was photographed under the same lighting and from the same angle.

As you can tell from the shape of the hair whorl, it really is the same person.

He suffered severe stress over hair loss of that extent in his late 30s, and

Six months after treatment, he was very satisfied with the improvement that anyone could see, and

He was pleased, saying that he had gained a lot of confidence in his daily life as well.

Of course, such results cannot be guaranteed for everyone.

Depending on how far the scalp has aged, in cases where irreversible changes have already occurred,

may not be very effective.

However

Oral and topical medications clearly have their limits.

I believe the help of stem cells is absolutely necessary to overcome that limit.

I hope this post has been helpful, and

I will wrap up here for today!
