What is Stem Cell Assisted Hair Transplantation?
Stem cell-assisted hair transplantation is one of the most innovative and effective methods developed against hair loss. In addition to classical hair transplantation procedures, this application is performed by applying stem cells obtained from the body to the transplantation area. The aim is not only to transplant hair follicles, but also to nourish and strengthen the transplanted and existing hair follicles, accelerate the healing process and achieve denser and healthier results.
In this method, tissue (usually adipose tissue or blood) taken from the person's own body is separated by special processes and enriched with stem cells. It is then injected into the hair transplantation area. Thus, the adhesion rate of hair follicles increases, shock loss is minimized and the hair growth process is accelerated.
Stem cell-assisted hair transplantation is not only a technical innovation; it means a “new chance” especially for those who have experienced unsuccessful hair transplantation before, whose hair loss progresses rapidly or who have lost hope. Stem cell-assisted hair transplantation can be applied to both men and women and is especially ideal for those seeking naturalness, strength and permanence in hair loss treatment.

“I had hair transplantation but it didn't grow enough, I'm afraid to try again...”
The biggest concern of people who have had hair transplantation before but did not get the desired result is to experience disappointment again. Stem cell support significantly increases the retention rate of hair follicles, allowing you to get much more effective results in the second attempt.
“My hair is very thin, but there is not enough hair loss to have a transplant...”
Yes, this situation is very common. Stem cell therapy is used not only for hair transplantation but also for strengthening existing hair and slowing down hair loss. In this way, visible improvement can be achieved even without the need for hair transplantation.
“I had PRP before but the effect was short-lived, is this different?”
PRP and stem cell therapy are different. PRP uses growth factors derived from blood plasma, while stem cell therapy directly triggers cell renewal. The effect is longer lasting and provides a significant increase in hair quality.
“I had a hair transplant once... I suffered, I hoped, but the result devastated me.”
For someone who has experienced a failed hair transplant, trying a second time is not just a physical process. Being afraid to dream again, saying “what if it doesn't happen again”, being stuck between hoping and giving up... An emotional fatigue that is invisible on the outside but grows on the inside. Stem cell assisted hair transplantation is a technique developed to make this second chance much stronger.
With your own cells, with your own healing power... It increases the retention rate of the transplanted follicles and supports the hair regrowth process. It starts the healing from the inside. It will help you regain both your hair and your faith in yourself.
“My hair is weakening, but feeling helpless against hair loss wears me down more...”
For women in particular, hair loss is as traumatizing from the inside as it is visible. Seeing strands of hair on the pillow every morning, noticing the opening visible from underneath while tidying your hair... Sometimes even going to the hairdresser turns into a nightmare. Being told, “Your hair is thinning” shatters your morale. Stem cell therapy comes into play at this point “when it is not too late”. It stops hair loss and re-nourishes weakened follicles. It can restore the density of your hair without the need for a hair transplant. In other words: You can go back without taking the first step.
“My hair loss is fast, my age is young. But my hair seems to be leaving me.”
Starting to lose hair at an early age can affect many young men's social life, relationships and even their career goals. Because you are only 25, but you look like 35. That hair is the most important part of the confident look you dream of. Stem cell-assisted transplantation activates the body's internal power against hair loss that starts at a young age. It protects your hair follicles, improves hair quality and gives you denser and thicker hair. And it makes you look like yourself - not older than your age.
“It's slowly but steadily falling out... I don't know when it will stop.”
This uncertainty is the most exhausting. Seeing hair in every shower. A sparser silhouette in every photo. But doing something while you still have hair is the last chance not to say “if only”. Stem cell support not only slows down hair loss, but also nourishes the hair follicles with reproducing cells. In other words, it secures not only the present but also the future. It shows that you are not alone in a fight against time.
Stem Cell Assisted Hair Transplant Process
Preoperative Preparation
- Comprehensive hair analysis and counseling
- Blood tests or adipose tissue analysis (depending on stem cell source)
- Hair transplant planning (number of grafts, line design, etc.)
- Smoking, alcohol and blood thinners should be stopped before the operation.
Operation Day
- Local anesthesia is applied.
- Grafts are taken from the donor area (usually the nape of the neck).
- Blood or adipose tissue taken from the donor's body is separated into stem cells in the laboratory.
- Stem cell solution is prepared and injected into the area to be transplanted.
- Hair follicles are placed by opening micro channels.
- The average duration of the procedure is 7-9 hours.
Post Operation Process
- Rest is recommended for the first 3 days.
- The scabs fall off in 7-10 days.
- Shock shedding is experienced less or can be overcome completely.
- New hair starts to appear from the 3rd month.
- 70% in the 6th month and final results are observed in the 12th month.
- Hair becomes thicker, more vibrant and fuller.
- With the stem cell effect, both new and existing hairs gain strength.
