ACell, a Current Review of Applications in Hair Transplant Surgery

[gillenator]

Anyone feel that Acell has improved their overall yield? It may still be too early in use. Time will tell.

Dr. Cooley is now dipping follicles in Acell as part of the standard FUT.

I had wondered if doing so might increase the likelihood of the transplanted grafts taking straight away and not going into the usual shed and hibernation period. Dr. Cooley informed me that unfortunately this is not the case and that the rare occurence of the hair not shedding after HT is the same as before.

Thought this might be useful information for the thread.

FDR, good info to know. A few additional thoughts. My premonition is that Acell will increase overall yield which IMHO, is very important. And since we all have limited donor reserves, every effort to promote "graft survival" by minimizing the effects of ischemia reperfusion is worthwhile to the patient. Free radicals are not good for grafts once they leave their natural environment.

I am also interested in observing any long term positive effects in minimizing shockloss as well. In other words, "Can Acell also help reduce the level of trauma in the surrounding tissue in the recipient area?"

What do you guys think?

They simply support what I do as an independent hairloss advocate in helping patients world-wide resolve their hairloss dilemmas. In other words, they endorse me but I am not employed by any of them.

To date, Dr. Cooley undoubtedly is still observing and documenting the trial periods, meaning, it first takes many patients to participate in these trials in order to obtain enough clinical results from these substances to substantiate his findings and conclusions. There will be more to come when he is ready to publish all in proper timing.

In simple terms, these things take time.

Just curious about your signature, Gillenator: what is your association with the mentioned doctors (i.e., Drs. Charles, Cooley, Harris, True, and Dorin)?

What bad results? You got a link?

Type in Dr. Hitzig and then you get to his clinic...most of the results are not very impressive if you compare them to others...

Thanks for posting this video, UK_.

It seems we've not heard from Dr. Cooley, in some while, on this topic. I'd be interested to read how is experiments with ACell are coming along.

then it's impressive...so basically he regenerated hair by injecting stuff into his crown. nice.

what i'm more concerned about is the bad results that hitzig shows on his website...

the crown.

[Dutch_Dude]

the front is after a transplant, but the back is just the injection of acell/prp i believe.

the back as in the crown, or the donor?

Hope you guys know that this is after a transplant

[crowningglory]

Interesting!! Fingers crossed that this effect is permanent. I'd love to see the long-term data (obviously) - as with other such treatments/procedure the disappointments only come in the long run...

Congratulations! Looks amazing! The acell helped me as well!
