Stem cells are cells with "differentiation ability", which can become any cell that constitutes the body, have "self-replication ability" and can be divided into cells with the same ability for regenerative medicine. IPS cells developed by Professor shinya yamanaka of Kyoto University are also one of the stem cells.
"The use of special culture medium for stem cells is gradually increasing. The liquid after removing stem cells from the culture solution becomes the supernatant of stem cell culture. "
The supernatant of stem cell culture contains more than 300 components such as growth factors, immunomodulatory factors, anti-inflammatory factors and nerve regeneration factors secreted by stem cells. By injecting this liquid, it can promote the repair of aging parts, capillaries and blood vessel walls.
"In the case of rare hair, more than 65,438+000 people are being treated, but now no patients say' no growth'. In the treatment, the state of the patient's scalp is photographed from all angles and tracked. Even if I saw that photo, it was obviously improved. "
Phototherapy uses carbon dioxide pressure generated by special medical equipment (photos) to directly inject stem cell culture supernatant into scalp. It can be injected evenly into the scalp without pain, and the patient feels the vibration of "Don't press hard".
In stem cell ciliary therapy, there is also a method of injecting stem cells cultured from their own fat into the scalp, but in the comparative experiment conducted in stem cell culture and treatment facilities, the hair growth effect of stem cell culture supernatant is better.
"The cultivation of stem cells needs 1 month, at least several million yen. Although the supernatant of stem cell culture cannot be said to be absolutely cheap, it is cheaper and more affordable than the treatment of stem cells. "
However, the contents of growth factors and cytokines in the supernatant of stem cell cultures vary from person to person. It is necessary to confirm the content and safety of the analysis and select high-quality stem cell culture supernatant.
In addition, the growth factor contained in stem cell culture supernatant is protein, so it should be used in fresh state. It is said that the director of Chinese medicine is frozen in a special freezer, and every treatment should be thawed, but regarding the use, it is more reassuring to check it if possible.
How long does the effect last?
"Because there are no patients with long-term treatment, how long the effect can last is still unknown. However, scalp cells regain vitality, and after the hair cycle is stable, the hair will continue to grow for 5 to 6 years. I am wondering if I can maintain a good state after five to six years of treatment. "
In the treatment of alopecia, oral minoxidil, finasteride and topical drugs are well known.
"Regarding the incidence rate, because it is not completely detected by the same person, it cannot be answered from a medical point of view. But my actual feeling is that the treatment of stem cell culture supernatant has considerable advantages over other cilia treatment. For example, oral drugs may increase the burden on internal organs, but injecting stem cell supernatant has no side effects. "
In any case, it is good for people who care about hair to increase their choices. May break up with years of troubles.
