Let us first see what these are? These cells are the first cells rather first building blocks of our body. Life of all of us started as a stem cell and then was divided in to millions of cells as we grew up with the passage of time. As we get older, the reverse process of degeneration of the stem cells starts. In case we suffer from diseases then the process of degeneration gets faster.

In this therapy damaged and diseases causing cells are replaced with the stem cells in the body. When a person looses hair, the dead cells on the scalp do not grow hair and the area becomes bare which is called baldness. When we use this therapy, these dead cells are replaced by the stem cells the bald spot can be replaced by an area full of hair. It has been seen that success rate has been improving with the passage of time due to ongoing research on this therapy.

What actually happens is that these are injected in the body where there is a need for the replacement of old cells with the new healthy cells. Once these cells reach the targeted area they start secreting growth factors. These growth factors in assistance with the blood vessels produce new blood cells. These new cells replace the damaged and diseased cells causing cells and healing the affected body part or the particular area.

Everyone loses hair on a daily basis. The issue at hand here is what is normal for you may not be normal for someone else. Generally speaking, the norm set for loss of hairs is 50 to 100 hair follicles on a daily basis. But yet, that isn’t even a true number that one can base normal hair loss.

A healthy scalp of hair has been documented to have 100,000 or more hairs and so the experts state that 10% of the amount of hairs that we have is normal hair loss. But who’s got time to count the hairs on our head?

Just as you know that there’s something wrong with yourself, no one has to tell you that there is a definite pattern of hair loss that is not normal. Whether you are losing more or less than 50 to 100 hairs, it doesn’t matter.

If you notice that there is abnormal loss of hairs, then so be it. You have to do something about it whether it’s normal or abnormal.

It’s good to know the evolution of a hair follicle, so that you understand its life cycle. Hair growth grows through 3 stages. The first stage can last anywhere from two and seven years where hair follicles grow up to six inches yearly. The second stage is much shorter because the life cycle is about to come to abrupt end. This stage lasts less than a month and this is where the hair follicle detaches from the base of the scalp. The third stage is the actual detachment from the scalp. The time period for this stage is a bit longer because it can last up to 3 months.

Now if in the 3rd stage more hair is detaching than new ones are growing there is a problem. This problem is the noticing that there is abnormal hair loss and where we try to interrupt the cycle with introducing new hairs on our scalp.

In an ongoing effort to introduce new hairs to our scalp, we try many different remedies. Some work, some do not. One overriding issue here is that there is a treatment plan that works for everyone. It’s not there is a universal answer to this question but an issue of trial and error.

Treatment of hair loss requires diligence, education, and a proper treatment plan that has credibility. It is vitally important to understand at this point that there isn’t a number associated with hair loss.

Only you can determine that and if you feel that hair loss is more than hair growth then it’s time to get on a treatment plan.
