Hair Regeneration

Humans typically have 100,000 to 150,000 hairs, with hair growth naturally stopping after reaching a certain length—2-5 years for men and 4-7 years for women. Once cell division halts at the hair bulb, hair enters a 3-week regression phase, followed by shedding. New hair begins to grow within 4-6 months. However, factors like excess male hormones, stress, and poor scalp circulation can shorten the growth phase, leading to hair loss.

What can stem cells do for hair loss?

幹細胞療法について

Our bodies have the ability to regenerate and replace lost cells, such as those in the skin and blood, to maintain tissues that are constantly renewed. These cells, known as “stem cells,” have two key abilities: differentiation (the ability to create various types of cells, such as skin, red blood cells, and platelets) and self-renewal (the ability to divide and produce identical copies of themselves).

Stem cells are categorized into two types. One type is “tissue stem cells,” which continually replace lost cells in specific tissues and organs, like skin and blood. These stem cells are specialized for particular roles, such as hematopoietic stem cells that produce blood cells and neural stem cells that generate cells for the nervous system. The other type is “pluripotent stem cells,” such as embryonic stem cells (ES cells), which have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. In essence, pluripotent stem cells can generate various tissue-specific stem cells.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) are a type of pluripotent stem cell artificially derived from ordinary cells.

Research into regenerative medicine, which harnesses the properties of stem cells to treat injuries and diseases, is progressing. Scientists are also exploring disease mechanisms by recreating the cellular environment outside the body for study.

HAIR LOSS CAN BE EFFECTIVELY TREATED

With autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy

What are the effects of mesenchymal stem cells?

Hair is produced in the bulge area at the base of the hair follicle, where "hair follicle stem cells" undergo cell division to generate new hair. When the function of these stem cells declines, the hair growth cycle from resting to growing phase is disrupted, leading to hair cycle abnormalities.

At Artisan Clinic Hibiya, we inject adipose-derived stem cells directly into the scalp to activate hair follicle stem cells, restoring the normal hair cycle and stimulating hair growth. The stem cells also activate "progenitor cells" around the hair root, whose growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicle stem cells, triggering the transition from the resting phase to the growing phase and promoting hair growth.

Licenses

幹細胞療法について

A license is required to provide regenerative medicine In order to provide regenerative medicine, based on the Act on Ensuring the Safety of Regenerative Medicine, a specific authorized regenerative medicine committee has It must be reviewed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Artisan Clinic Hibiya is a medical institution that has been accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for a provision plan for knee joint stem cell administration.

Treatment Process

Our Treatment Process

幹細胞関連のトピック

01

Book Appointment

After your inquiry, our staff will schedule your visit and confirm your reservation.

02

Consultation

After you complete the questionnaire, the doctor will explain stem cell treatment and recommend a plan suited to your health condition.

03

Cell Harvest and Blood Collection

Stem cells are harvested from abdominal or buttock fat. 20 grams of adipose (fat) cells are extracted and it can be cultivated into 20 sessions of stem cell therapy. There is only a very small wound of 1 cm to harvest the fat.

04

Stem Cell Culture

We will culture stem cells and exosomes over about 4 weeks. To maintain optimal conditions, please avoid changing or canceling the administration date once scheduled.

05

Dosing

For Intravenous Drip: Disinfect > Confirm injection site > Insert needle > Secure tubing.

Duration: 40-60 minutes.

06

End of treatment

Before leaving, our staff will provide post-treatment instructions. You may go home the same day, but please avoid driving for safety. Contact us with any concerns, and our team will respond promptly.
