Androgenetic Alopecia
Conditions
Brief summary
The general objective of this study is to conduct a safety and feasibility study of a single injection of autologous adipose-derived SVF for the treatment of alopecia.
Interventions
Comparison of the number of hairs before and after treatment of autologous adipose-derived SVF as a percentage increase or decrease in growth.
