ACell + PRP Treatment


In hair restoration, ACell is combined with PRP (platelet rich plasma) and injected into the scalp. The application of ACell + PRP causes miniaturized hair follicles to become healthier and larger, producing more robust hair growth.

Follicle regeneration is a dream come true for every patient considering hair restoration surgery. At the very least a patient will get better healing in the donor areas and we have seen GOOD follicle regeneration when properly applied to minimal depth extraction sites.

ACell + PRP is a quick, non-surgical method to restore and thicken hair in patients. Unlike prescription medications or topical applications, it does not need daily maintenance. Thus, one need not disturb one’s daily schedule to get this treatment again and again.

How it works


ACell activates follicular progenitor cells and PRP is loaded with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth.

In addition to improved healing of the donor sites, ACell can assist in the regeneration of hair follicles when grafts are removed properly and Acell is applied properly.



Indications


ACell+PRP is a versatile tool in the treatment of hair loss due to a number of causes including:

  • Male Pattern Hair Loss – especially in the early stages of balding, or anytime there is a lot of miniaturized hair on the scalp
  • Female Pattern Hair Loss – at all stages of hair loss
  • Hypotrichosis (fine/reduced hair) of the eyebrow or beard
  • Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis
  • Metabolic causes of hair loss – iron deficiency and medication induced hair loss

Effective for both male and female pattern hair loss, ACell + PRP has also regrown hair in alopecia areata, eyebrow hypotrichosis and other patient cases with non-hereditary hair loss.



Procedure


An ACell+PRP treatment takes about 3-4 hrs to complete. Firstly, a blood sample is obtained which is specially processed to produce the PRP. A local anesthetic is then administered to completely numb the scalp treatment area. If desired, a sedative can be administered (if the patient is not driving). The ACell and PRP are combined and then administered via a series of injections over the full scalp or in a localized treatment area such as the eyebrow or beard.



Post Procedure


The recovery from ACell+PRP treatment is typically uneventful. Pain is easily managed in most cases with non-narcotic analgesic medication such as Ibuprofen. Some mild swelling of the forehead is occasionally seen 1-2 days after ACell+PRP injections. This is normal and will resolve in 48 hours. Avoiding vigorous activity is recommended until the swelling is gone. There is no other downtime or noticeable effects of the procedure. Patients can wash their hair normally immediately after the injections.



Results


New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months, but is typically evident between 4-8 months and will continue to improve up to a year after treatment. To date, results have been maintained without additional injections for up to 2 years in many patients, but no long term data is yet available to conclude that ACell induced hair growth is permanent.
