Common Questions About stem cell Hair Restoration
What is stem cell hair restoration?
Stem cell hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses regenerative stem cells to activate and nourish dormant hair follicles, resulting in natural hair regrowth.
Is there any downtime or recovery period?
No downtime is required. You can return to your regular activities immediately after the treatment.
Are there any side effects?
There are no known side effects. Thousands of treatments have been performed at our locations across the country without a single reported adverse reaction.
When will I start seeing results?
Most clients begin to see noticeable changes within 6–8 weeks. The full transformation typically unfolds over the course of 9 months as the hair naturally cycles and thickens.
How long do the results last?
With proper maintenance, the results are long-lasting. We provide guidance on how to support and maintain your results over time.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require a series of three treatments, spaced approximately one month apart, for optimal results.
Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
This treatment is ideal for anyone looking to restore fuller, healthier hair without surgery or medications. During your consultation, we’ll assess your scalp and goals to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
What makes NovaStem’s treatment different?
Our treatment uses ethically sourced Wharton’s Jelly stem cells—rich in growth factors and regenerative properties. This advanced method sets us apart from traditional approaches and delivers powerful, natural results.
Is stem cell hair therapy only for men?
Not at all. Our treatment is highly effective for both men and women looking to restore fuller, healthier hair without surgery or medications.
How does stem cell therapy differ from a traditional hair transplant?
Unlike hair transplants, which involve surgically removing and implanting hair follicles, stem cell therapy is completely non-invasive. It works by rejuvenating existing follicles and encouraging new growth, without any cutting, scarring, or downtime.
How does this treatment differ from PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses a sample of your own blood, which is spun down to isolate platelets and injected back into the scalp. Our treatment uses Wharton’s Jelly-derived stem cells, which contain a far richer concentration of regenerative components—like growth factors and cytokines—making it significantly more powerful and effective.
Why is this treatment more effective than PRP?
PRP relies on your body’s own limited healing factors, which vary based on age and health. Stem cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly contain a high, consistent concentration of regenerative compounds, providing a stronger and more reliable response for stimulating hair growth.
Is it FDA approved?
Our treatments follow all FDA guidelines and use ethically sourced, FDA-compliant stem cell products. While the procedure itself is not classified as a drug or device (and therefore not subject to formal FDA “approval”), it is performed safely and responsibly under strict regulatory standards.
How long does the procedure take?
The entire appointment typically takes about 60 minutes, including consultation, preparation, and treatment. You’ll be able to return to your normal routine immediately afterward. After the initial consultation and injection, the remaining injection appointments are about 15-20 minutes long.
