Success with PRP and ACell Mesotherapy

[Carlos Wesley, MD]

Great questions! There was a pretty comprehensive article in a recent NYTimes in which our office was highlighted. Feel free to view it here.

Many of the questions are addressed within this article. I will say that there may be some initial shedding (just as with a hair transplant) before the hair volume increases. Regarding patient candidacy, it's very important that the physician perform an in-depth analysis of the extent of hair miniaturization in the area to be treated as these hairs are most likely to benefit from PRP therapy. I don't know of an alternative to ACell at this point in time (as some patients are averse to the porcine bladder for religious reasons).

I've included a slide from a recent lecture I gave on PRP and how it works below. I hope this is helpful!
