Stem Cell Treatment for Hair Restoration in Scottsdale and Nashville – Does It Work for Women?
Hair shedding in women naturally occurs at a rate of 50 to 100 hairs per day. Normally there’s a balance between losing hair and having new hair grow in. However, when the balance is disrupted, hair loss occurs and it goes beyond hair shedding.
Most people think about men when discussing hair loss. Unfortunately, hair loss occurs at some point in over 50% of women, making it very common. It can be embarrassing to have substantial hair loss, and traditional medications often do not work. Wearing a wig or hats is a true inconvenience and may lead to women not participating in social activities and suffering from a lack of self-confidence at work and in life in general.
Why does it happen?
Hair loss is much more common in women over the age of 40, those who have recently had a baby, post-chemotherapy, menopausal women, post-Covid and those who use harsh chemicals or hairstyles that pull on the hair.
With regard to a woman’s hairstyle, if a hairstyle pulls on the hair, it may lead to hair loss from traction alopecia. If the consistent traction damages the follicle, the loss may be permanent!
Various vitamin deficiencies and restrictive diets may lead to hair loss as well. Various medications may lead to hair loss along with physical or emotional stress, hormone changes along with abnormal thyroid.
One of the autoimmune conditions that may lead to patchy hair loss in women is called alopecia areata. Typically, it’s not permanent.
Women usually start to notice hair loss by one of the following occurring:
- Hair falling out on the floor, hairbrush, pillow, etc.
- Seeing the scalp through hair.
- Noticing thinning hair
When a woman notices hair loss, R3 Anti-Aging’s expert providers will evaluate to determine the reason it is occurring. This will include blood work to look for abnormalities along with a review of a woman’s diet, hair style, products used.

PRP Therapy for hair restoration has been looked at in many peer reviewed studies. A 2017 review by Picard et al looked at 14 peer reviewed studies and concluded that “Overall, the use of PRP injections in patients with androgenic alopecia seems effective with respect to promoting lost hair regrowth, decreasing hair loss and increasing hair thickness. The effects appear to be progressive from the first injection session, to peak after 3 to 5 sessions.”
Another review article in 2019 by Mao et al looked at 11 studies comprising 262 patients. The conclusion was, “Most studies suggest that subcutaneous injection of PRP is likely to reduce hair loss, increase hair diameter and density in patients with androgenic alopecia.”
Because of these types of excellent results with minimal side effects, PRP therapy for hair loss in both men and women has become exceptionally popular. R3 Anti-Aging offers PRP therapy for hair loss in men and women in both Scottsdale/Phoenix and Nashville for those desiring a non-surgical, effective option.
Stem Cell and Exosome Treatment for hair restoration has seen promising results in clinical studies. A literature review out of the Cleveland Clinic in 2020 evaluated both PRP and stem cell therapy for numerous types of hair loss. The results were tremendous for hair restoration, with no side effects reported.
Another review article in 2020, this one out of the University of Miami, evaluated stem cells for hair restoration. A review of over 10 studies concluded that, “Novel discoveries revolving around stem-cell based therapies provide encouraging steps towards developing more effective and successful hair loss treatments.”
