Stem cell SVF injection evidence for Androgenetic alopecia - male

Abstract summary (English) AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to systematically review randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) studying various types of regenerative medicine methods (such as platelet-rich plasma, stromal vascular fraction, cell therapy, conditioned media, etc.) in treating specific dermatologic diseases. Rejuvenation, scarring, wound healing, and other secondary conditions of skin damage were not investigated...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells derived from adipose tissue and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are among novel treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). We aimed to investigate the effect of adding SVF to PRP and compare it to administering PRP injection alone. METHODS: Eighteen patients were randomly divided into two groups of nine.

Randomized Controlled Trial, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND AND AIM: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common chronic, hereditary, cutaneous and androgen-dependent condition. Low self-esteem and negatively impact quality of life are often consequences of AGA. Clinical treatment of AGA using SVF (Stromal vascular fraction) has been effective.

Systematic Review, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles with potential roles in modulating the hair growth cycle and are an emerging therapy for patients with alopecia. In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in deciphering the network of cellular interactions and signaling pathways mediated by the transfer of exosomes. This has opened the door to a wide range of potential therapeutic applications...

Systematic Review, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) INTRODUCTION: Treatments for AGA have yet to produce satisfactory outcomes and may cause intolerable side effects. Recent studies have reported that adipose tissue-derived stem cell conditioned media (ADSC-CM) could induce hair growth and regeneration. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of ADSC-CM combined with minoxidil for hair regeneration therapy in male AGA.

Abstract summary (English) IMPORTANCE: Nonscarring alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, are common and can negatively impact quality of life. Recent clinical studies have investigated autologous, adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) as a potentially beneficial treatment option. OBJECTIVE: To assess the available evidence on the utility and safety of SVF for nonscarring alopecia.

Journal Article, Systematic Review

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: The conditioned media from adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned media (ADSC-CM) contains cytokines and growth factors that stimulate hair regeneration. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of human ADSC-CM treatment on patients who underwent nonablative fractional laser for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients who underwent...

Abstract summary (English) Accumulating evidence suggests that adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract (ADSC-CE) helps hair regrowth in patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). However, the effects of ADSC-CE have not been demonstrated in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trial. In this randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trial, 38 patients (29 men) with AGA were assigned to an intervention...

Abstract summary (English) Androgenetic alopecia is one of the most common cause of hair loss disorder. This hereditary and androgen-dependent disorder tends to progress into partial or even complete baldness Several therapeutic options are now available for AGA, including conventional medications such as finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil. However, side effects of these medications are also commonly reported.

Clinical Trial, Comparative Study, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: An adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) reportedly exerts skin-rejuvenating and hair growth-promoting effects. In the therapeutic application of ADSC-CM for alopecia, changes to the interfollicular scalp remain unclear although some evidence has indicated hair growth-promoting effects. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of ADSC-CM not only on hair follicles, but also on the...
