Hair & Scalp
Hair-related SVF research is mostly early-stage with small samples, often compared with or combined with PRP.
Research overview
Common outcomes are hair density and hair shaft diameter measured by trichoscopy over 3–6 months of follow-up.
Mechanisms studied
The hypothesis involves improved perifollicular circulation and growth-factor signalling in the cell environment.

Frequently asked questions
- Is SVF better than PRP for hair?
- Direct comparative studies are few and small, so no conclusion about superiority can be drawn.
