magine not lose hair in the donor area as "just", what we graft are the stem cells, they will grow in the area affected by baldness or alopecia part. Last year we were interviewed CFS clinic in Barcelona to talk about the different techniques of hair transplants and the different developments in the sector and our studies on stem cell transplantation. The interview caused a real tsunami in the field of hair surgery.
Due to the great demand for information, I promised to write an article on the capillary stem cell transplant and I promised!
In the CFS clinic in Barcelona we are always looking and researching new solutions to try to advance the world of hair transplantation which is our passion. Many times, when you are investigating, there are things that happen by chance and unexpectedly. That's what happened last year.
We found that there is a possibility to remove part of the stem cells in the follicles from the donor area for transplanting in the receiving area, getting wherein said cell produces a new hair in the area where it is placed and, this way, keep track density hair in the donor area. EYE! NOT ABOUT hair cloning. Some laboratories are still investigating this issue but have not yet achieved positive results in order to apply.
In May 2014 we did a test to verify that what we thought about stem cells was true and did a test with a voluntary patient. In December, when he came to make the penultimate control, we could observe that in the donor area had not lost any hair and that in the receiving area (where we put the stem cells) had grown new hair (about 60 to 70% of what had gone). Been quite promising as a 70% represents a significant percentage (but not sufficient). We decided to go ahead with other tests (about 20 different patients) to confirm that the process actually works and above all, to try to get better. The goal is to reach at least 90% to offer this new technology to everyone. It would be wrong to use if you do not get more than 70% growth.
What you have to understand is that this is all new, and we are only at the beginning of stem cell research and as I said several times in different articles, STILL CAN NOT brag . It is not easy but we are in it. Do not feel encouraged too! It is not our intention to (as I have read in our blog ... We are not doing publicity for the clinic or creating false hope!). We are a clinic that work with passion, and we want to progress to always offer the best hair replacement techniques. In the United States, not knowing who we are, and talk about fraude¡ (OK, it's not a secret that the Americans always want to be first and best in everything. Therefore, a small Spanish hair clinic is more advanced than an American , I believe very envious ��Things are moving but not criticizing working ...
Joking aside, what I want is to know that is not as easy as it sounds, and can not draw early conclusions. We have to be positive, but very cautious. What can be sure is that we do our best and we put all our goodwill for the stem cell becomes a reality applicable. I will be answering all the questions (as long as I possibly can) and I will give maximum information about the tests we are doing. Do not be impatient, nor will finally not desilusionéis if we fail, possibly we learn all that we can use it later.
In science and medicine much research but things do not always go as you want. In no time I said that we had gotten the technique of stem cells work. We are investigating and it would be great to be a reality. For now, it is promising but surely we will find problems. It is so and what we can not avoid. What we have to do is look for solutions and further progress.
If you liked the article on stem cell transplantation for baldness please be very interesting for me to leave a comment on this article you just read, personally I will be answering your questions and comments.
