Hi, thanks for posting your query.

You have not mentioned your age, gender and type of hair loss. So I am unable to help you much. I shall let you know in brief about stem cell therapy.

Stem cell therapy is a novel technology for the treatment of Alopecia (Baldness) ie. Male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss & hair loss associated with various disorder. Stem cells activate the dead hair follicles and convert them into growing healthy new hair follicles. Effects are visible within a month. Multiple sessions are required.

This therapy does not seem to do any harm and is safe. Its long term effects are still to be studied as it is a new technique.

You may get yourself examined by a trichologist and if he feels you can go for this therapy, then you may go ahead.

I hope this solves your query.

Take care.
