A 23-year-old man was noticing hair thinning for the past couple of years at his hairline and temple areas, but never decided to take finasteride or use minoxidil to treat it. He came in for consultation, and then received one TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment as well as a prescription for finasteride.

12 months after the treatment and starting finasteride, he had thicker hair growth at his frontal hairline, including very short and fine hairs at his temple now growing long and thick.

Male age 49 at time of consultation Hair loss started about 10 years ago

This 49-year-old man started suffering from hair loss about 10 years prior, so age of onset was pretty late, and his sensitivity to DHT would be classified as moderate. Hair thinning was diffuse throughout the scalp, as well as the temples. He wasn’t on a DHT-blocker like finasteride prior to treatment.

He received one TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment. Since his age of onset was later, and he is not highly DHT-sensitive, using finasteride after treatment was not as critical. He was able to achieve thicker hair growth and greater hair coverage 10 months after treatment, without using finasteride.

Male age 32 (at consultation) Age of onset of hair loss - 27

32-year-old man was concerned about hair thinning due to pattern hair loss after previously having scalp micropigmentation, a scalp tattoo procedure to camouflage the effects of balding. The effects of progressive pattern hair loss made the small tattoos on his scalp more obvious.

5 months after his TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment, where he was also prescribed finasteride, pictures were taken of his results. He was happy with his new hair growth at the frontal hairline, which was previously receding and unveiling his scalp micropigmentation.

This man was experiencing diffuse hair thinning all over his scalp, and temporal hair recession starting at 21. He was taking finasteride due this his high DHT-sensitivity, and slow his hair thinning for more than one year prior to his consultation. 4 months after one TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment, his frontal hairline was significantly thicker, and temples had visibly more hair coverage. Hair quality and thickness throughout his scalp was improved, and he remarked how his hair felt healthier.

This study illustrates that stimulated hair growth and thicker hair cannot be achieved with finasteride alone, and that the TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration system works at a different level than finasteride. This also shows that combining the finasteride with the TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment as an effective combination treatment for male pattern hair loss.
