PRP/ACELL

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets into the scalp. ACELL is a similar product derived from pig bladder tissue. Both are thought to stimulate hair growth by promoting healing and blood flow in the scalp.

Pros: PRP/ACELL offer minimally invasive options for promoting hair growth.

Cons: The effectiveness of PRP/ACELL for hair loss is not definitively proven, and multiple treatment sessions may be necessary.

Alternatives: Hair transplant surgery (FUE/FUT), medications (Finasteride, Minoxidil)

Recovery Time: There is minimal downtime associated with PRP/ACELL therapy. The scalp may be slightly tender after injection.

Disclaimer: More research is needed to determine the long-term efficacy of PRP/ACELL for hair loss.
