Hair Regeneration Therapy Using Proteins Secreted by Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Adipose-derived stem cells secrete various cytokines that promote hair growth. We have used adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium to treat alopecia and reported good results. In this article, we describe our experience of the hair regeneration therapy including characteristics of the commercialized conditioned medium, treatment methods, and future directions. Treatment using adipose- derived stem cell-conditioned medium is highly effective and may represent a new therapy for alopecia.
