    There is no question that PRP is effective. The question remaining is... How do we improve the results of PRP therapy? Dr. Cole uses ACell with his PRP and administers ACell / PRP mostly during FUE surgery because of the improved healing these two products provide our patients.

    The benefits of ACell during FUE surgery include:
    1.) Reduced hypopigmentation of the extraction sites.
    2.) Increased blood vessel formation.
    3.) Follicle regeneration 10% to 70% average around 50%

    The benefits of PRP during FUE surgery include:
    1.) Quicker healing
    2.) Earlier transplanted hair growth
    3.) Increase in hair shaft diameter overall.


    Is PRP currently effective enough to justify the cost and inconvenience of multiple stand-alone treatments per year? IMO, I would personally consider one treatment per year. Other men and women with hair loss may be fine with two, three, perhaps four treatments per year.

    Chuck,

    If you are seeing donor regeneration on that level, it is a monumental breakthrough in hair restoration.

    Can you provide some before and after photographs documenting this regeneration?

    We are working to improve the effectiveness of ACell. The patient in our most recent study healed so well that after 3 months the extraction sites could not be located even with bright lighting and magnifying loupes. In past studies there was minimal scarring but enough that under strong lighting and magnification, we were able to locate the extraction sites to see hair growing from them. More studies are in the works.
