Thinning or Shedding Hair? Stem Hair Plus+ Can Help — No Surgery Needed

Thinning, shedding hair to the point of near baldness is something nobody wants, no matter their age. Whether you are still young or already at an age when hair naturally starts to thin — such as 40 and beyond — hair that grows thinner or sheds more heavily can chip away at your confidence. The first step is understanding what is actually causing your hair loss and thinning.

External Causes of Hair Loss and Thinning

Hair loss and thinning from external causes mostly result from continual injury to the scalp that weakens the hair roots. Common culprits include hair treatments such as dyeing, perming, bleaching, and straightening; frequent heat exposure from flat irons, blow-drying, or regularly being out in the sun; tying, pinning, or pulling the hair back tightly so it never gets a rest; fungal infections of the scalp; habitually picking, scratching, or pulling at the hair; and radiation therapy for cancer can also cause hair to thin.

Internal Causes of Hair Loss and Thinning

Hair loss and thinning from internal causes mostly stem from diseases such as alopecia areata, autoimmune conditions like SLE/DLE, and certain infections. Hormonal factors also play a part — abnormal thyroid hormone levels, pregnancy or the postpartum period, and prolonged periods of high stress. Hereditary fine hair from birth, or deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamin D, protein, and iron, can contribute as well. Certain medications can likewise trigger hair loss — for example blood thinners, stress medication, immunosuppressants, chemotherapy drugs, and birth-control pills. These factors unbalance the body so the hair roots cannot grow well; hair then sheds and thins, or fails to regrow, which can eventually lead to baldness.

Some people have several of these causes acting together, so it is essential to consult a doctor who can analyse the problem and correct it precisely at its source.

New! A No-Surgery Hair Restoration Alternative: the Stem Hair Plus+ Technique

Stem Hair Plus+ is a new hair restoration technique that requires no surgery, no recovery downtime, and no complicated wound care! A small number of strong micro-graft hair root cells are extracted and taken through a medical process to obtain purified stem cells and multiply the healthy, fully viable hair root cells. These are then injected back into areas of thinning, sparse, or shedding hair to stimulate new hair growth and repair weakened, limp, flat hair cells — restoring hair that once again looks naturally strong, thick, full, and dark. Visible change can be seen from the very first month.

Advantages of Stem Hair Plus+

• No surgery required
• No recovery downtime
• No complicated wound care (the wounds are tiny)
• No need to relocate large numbers of hair roots as in conventional hair transplants
• No general anaesthesia
• Fast, clearly visible results within 1 month
• New hair grows back naturally on its own
• Hair becomes stronger, thicker, fuller, and darker
• Reduces shedding, thinning, and limp, flat hair
• No worries about side effects

The Stem Hair Plus+ Procedure Step by Step

• A punch extraction removes strong hair root cells (the wound is very small)
• The cells go through a medical process to obtain the strongest possible stem cells
• They are processed a second time to multiply the number of healthy hair root cells
• The cells are injected into the areas the doctor identifies as problematic, repairing hair cells and stimulating regrowth for thicker, fuller, darker hair

Who Is Stem Hair Plus+ Suitable For?

• Those with hereditary hair loss and thinning
• Those with hair loss caused by hormonal imbalance
• Those with hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies
• Those with hair loss caused by certain medications
• Those who do not want hair transplant surgery
• Those whose hair has been weakened by chemicals or heat
• Those who have had a hair transplant but want to strengthen their hair roots

• Stop using Rogaine, Minoxidil, or other hair-growth stimulants for at least 7 days
• If you have high blood pressure and take a beta blocker, inform your doctor so the medication can be switched at least 7 days before the treatment, as it may interact with the local anaesthetic used
