The Effect Of Stromal Vascular Fraction For Patient With Androgenetic Alopecia

INTRODUCTION: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a dermatological disease that can be seen in both men and women and can cause problems in one's self-perception. Stem cell is an increasingly popular treatment method in the treatment of various diseases in recent medicine. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a specimen that contains high levels of stem cells and very easy to be obtained from fat. In our study, we investigated the effectiveness of SVF treatment in AGA patients.

METHODS: 20 patients were included in the study. 14 (70%) of the patients were male and 6 (30%) were female. The age of the patients was min-max 21-41 years. In the 3rd month of the study, the hair density and increase in thickness of hair of patients were evaluated with both macroscopic and trichoscopic examination.
RESULTS: An increase in both hair density and hair thickness was detected in the 3rd month.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It was concluded that SVF is an effective and safe treatment option in AGA.
