A member asked:

Can stem cells therapy cure hair loss(male pattern baldness)? is it approved by fda? i am 28 yrs male, losing hairs from temple and crown.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Please do not waste your money on unapproved stem cell treatment. It may be causing you concern but baldness is a benign condition and you may try to live with it or get a hair piece. The so called stem cell treatment will not only cost a lot, will not help and may expose you to dangers of unapproved treatments.
