How Effective is Stem Cell Therapy for Your Scalp Combined with Hair Grafts? (photo)

May 20, 2013
Asked By:iAmSeanReed in Orlando, Florida

I have been taking propecia for a few years which has helped with my hair loss. Now, at 35, I have been looking into actual grafts. I am considering getting 2,200 grafts to the crown and middle and back of my scalp, along with this new stem cell therapy. I was wondering how effective the 2 are together, or is it something you would start with the stem cell therapy and see how that takes and then do the grafts? I was sold that its like fertilizer and more effective when combined. Thoughts?
