Is this cosmetic treatment?

The result is cosmetic; the approach is medical. Treatment is physician-led, in a licensed clinic, with cells prepared in our own laboratory. It is not a spa treatment, and it is not a hair transplant.

How is the treatment given?

By targeted delivery to the thinning areas of the scalp, sometimes combined with intravenous delivery, in a single visit to our licensed clinic in San José.

Does it matter what kind of hair loss I have?

Yes. The type and stage of your hair loss are confirmed in your medical review, and some types, including scarring alopecia, may not be suitable. Our physicians will tell you plainly which applies to you.

I am otherwise healthy. Do I still need a medical review?

Yes. Every patient has a medical review before treatment, whatever the reason for coming. It is how we keep the standard the same for everyone.

When might I notice a change?

Hair follows its own growth cycle, so responses take time and vary. Some patients report changes within weeks; others over several months. We follow up with you on a set schedule after treatment.

Who is not a candidate?

Active infection, certain cancers and some other conditions rule treatment out. Your medical review determines candidacy, not this page.

Hair Loss Stem Cell Treatment in Costa Rica

How stem cell therapy may help with hair loss

Hair thins when follicles slow or fall dormant, when the scalp’s circulation weakens, or when inflammation interrupts the growth cycle. Topical products and medication can slow the change for some people; a transplant moves hair rather than supporting the follicles you have.

Mesenchymal stem cells are studied for their ability to reduce inflammation around the follicle.
Research examines how cell signalling may affect inflammation and the tissue environment. Evidence and clinical outcomes vary by application.
Treatment is delivered to the thinning areas of the scalp, where it is needed.
Cells are prepared in our own laboratory and used fresh, never frozen.
The protocol is written for your scalp, your history and your goals.

Concerns to discuss with your care team

A receding hairline

The gradual change you notice in photographs before anyone mentions it.

Thinning at the crown

Scalp that shows through under overhead light, and a parting that has widened.

Loss of volume overall

Hair that feels finer in the hand and no longer holds the shape it used to.

The confidence that goes with it

Hats you never used to wear, and a mirror you have started to avoid.

Who may be a candidate

Adults in generally good health who want a physician-led, medically supervised approach to hair loss may be evaluated. Every patient has a medical review before treatment. Candidacy is decided by our physicians after a review of your history, the type and stage of your hair loss, and your current health, never by a form.

Treatment is not offered where there is active infection, certain cancers, or other conditions identified in review.
