About the Procedure
PRP has been used for hairless treatment and can also be combined with Acellular matrix to encourage better and longer lasting results. Acell is a porcine derived powder that has regenerative properties similar to stem cells. When combined with PRP concentrate, the serum can then be injected into the scalp to encourage hair growth. The PRP and Acell matrix helps to heal damaged hair follicles which in turn allows for more, and thicker hair growth. Before injection, a small amount of blood will be drawn from the patient’s arm. The blood will be placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma, or PRP. The PRP will then be mixed with the powder Acell product. The serum can then be injected into parts of the scalp that are experiencing hair thinning.
The goal of ACell injection in combination with PRP is to reverse the early stages of hair loss created by thinning hair, bald spots and receding hairlines.
