In Turkey, stem cell hair treatment offers a regenerative approach for patients experiencing early-stage hair thinning, where hair follicles are still active and can potentially be stimulated. Unlike a traditional hair transplant that replaces lost follicles, regenerative treatments aim to improve scalp conditions and reactivate weakened follicles to support natural hair growth.

The most common method, hair mesograft therapy (also known as stem cell hair transplant) using the Rigenera technique, extracts and filters a patient's own stem cells for injection into thinning areas, often combined with PRP. Turkish clinics offer this from 1,500 USD for standard protocols to 4,500 USD for advanced ones, with each case evaluated individually to determine whether regenerative treatment or a full transplant is the better fit for hair follicle regeneration.

Hair Stem cell treatment in Turkey

This procedure leverages the latest advancements in regenerative medicine, utilizing autologous micrografts taken from the patient's own tissue to strengthen and enhance skin progenitor cells.

To treat baldness, our partner clinics in Istanbul, Turkey offer a new approach that involves taking stem cells from the patient's skin and transplanting them into the scalp area, where the hair is thinner.

Hair mesograft (Rigenera method) is a technique to regenerate the scalp with stem cells. This method, performed at the best cost in Turkey, aims to stimulate existing hair follicles and promote the growth of thicker, healthier hair by utilizing the regenerative properties of the patient's own cells.

Stem cell hair transplant: who is it for?

Hair mesograft in Turkey is an innovative technique that stimulates the follicle to grow new hair and strengthens the remaining active ones.

The stem cell hair transplant method can be a valuable alternative to hair transplantation, but it should be noted that to be fully effective, it can only be followed if there are no severe cases of baldness.

Therefore, Stem cells injection is indicated for people suffering from :

  • Initial baldness
  • Androgenic alopecia
  • Hair loss
  • Hair thinning

Steps of the Rigenera Hair Mesograft in Turkey

The Rigenera hair mesograft is a minimally invasive surgery that takes about 40 minutes. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the donor area and does not require stitches.

Phase 1: Removal

Local anesthesia is administered in the neck area behind the ear. Then our surgeon scrapes off tissue samples using a follicular transplant instrument.

Phase 2: Tissue disintegration and micrograft filtering

In this phase, tissue extraction and filtering of the stem cells, as well as their rich regenerative properties, takes place.

Phase 3: Injection

The extraction of this revitalizing solution, containing clusters of cells, is injected into the thinned area of the scalp using small needles. This procedure aims to stimulate the hair follicles' activity and increase their supply through the hair network.

This aesthetic medicine treatment aims to counteract the effects of androgenic hormones on the follicles. It also stimulates the follicle to produce thicker and longer hair at the same time. 

It should be mentioned that it is very important to combat inflammation that can lead to the disease progression.

The results of hair regeneration with stem cells

After the transplant, in most cases, loss is stopped and the hair grows back gradually within 2 to 6 months.

The results' duration varies from 12 to 18 months. In the case of slow regrowth, it may be decided to increase the treatment after 8 months. 

Platelet-rich plasma vs stem cells: What is the difference?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a blood component rich in growth factors, and stem cells are specific cell types with regenerative potential. Platelet-rich plasma only has potential if it is rich in young platelets. Because platelets have a specific life cycle, their effect is at its maximum when injected and then tends to decline. Stem cells, on the other hand, have a longer action duration, which further enhances the effect of PRP.

Stem cell hair transplant FAQ in Turkey

Does a hair mesograft need to be renewed?

Yes, although this treatment can be performed in a single session, it may need to be renewed every 1-2 years to maintain the results.

Is there a risk of hair mesograft failure?

The risk of failure is low. It may depend on the quality of the grafts, the condition of the scalp, or adherence to post-treatment care. In most cases, mesografting effectively stimulates hair density and quality, with visible results after a few weeks.

Can stem cell hair transplant lead to long-term hair loss?

No, mesografting does not cause long-term hair loss. A slight temporary shedding may occur, but it resolves quickly.

Is Regenera Activa hair loss treatment painful?

Pain tolerance following stem cell injections with the Regenera treatment varies from one person to another. In any case, local anesthetics can be used to minimize discomfort.

Can mesografting replace a traditional hair transplant?

No, it helps complement or prevent hair loss, but it is not a substitute for hair transplants in cases of advanced baldness.
