Patient guide
Hair loss is a common problem in both men and women, which may happen due to aging, genetics, hormonal changes, disease, stress, and environmental causes. Some specific factors in Malaysia such as constant humidity and sun exposure throughout the year, as well as a hectic life in an urban environment, may affect people's scalps and lead to hair loss. With the development of regenerative medicine, stem cell hair treatment has been studied as an alternative method for those who want to restore their hair without surgery.
As opposed to hair treatments, which address the appearance of the hair only, stem cell hair treatment can be considered for its ability to facilitate a person's scalp regenerative environment. The suitability of the procedure depends on the reason for hair loss, the state of a person's scalp, and his or her general condition. It is important to consult a physician for the assessment of the need in stem cell-based regenerative treatment.

This treatment is regarded as a non-surgical procedure for certain patients suffering from hair thinning or hair loss problems.
When considering the use of hair treatment with stem cells in Malaysia, an assessment of the patient’s scalp and medical consultation have to be done first in order to determine the cause of the hair loss problem since hair loss is caused by genetics, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, stress, aging or some kinds of diseases. Personalized treatment is very important for each patient.
