PRP With ACell: How They Work Together

By | Hair Restoration

During some hair restoration techniques, platelet rich plasma is combined with ACell. PRP comes from the patient’s blood on the day of treatment. ACell is a type of stem cell derived from pig bladders. When injected into the scalp, these two regenerative tools can provide visible results and hair growth. 

Platelet rich plasma acts as fertilizer for your hair follicles. When injected, it tells your body that there has been an injury. Your body then sends defenses such as white blood cells and proteins to heal the microscopic injury. Additionally, PRP itself contains growth factors and hormones that support hair growth. This can help heal damaged hair follicles and promote the growth of new hair in the treatment area.

ACell provides the topsoil for your new hair. When your scalp has damaged (but not inactive) hair follicles, skin issues, or your hair loss is more extensive, ACell can bond with your existing skin to provide a new, nutrient-rich environment that can better support hair.

When you choose to combine PRP and ACell during your hair restoration treatment, you receive the most advanced injectable hair restoration procedure available. To schedule your consultation at PRP In Seattle, call us at (206) 279-2112 or contact us online.

Maintaining Hair After Seattle Hair Restoration

How To Maintain Hair After PRP Hair Restoration

By | Hair Restoration, Platelet Rich Plasma

Maintaining hair restored after a treatment like platelet rich plasma hair restoration can pose a challenge, or some anxiety about losing more hair. Luckily, there are many ways to promote and maintain healthy hair. 

Firstly, our plastic surgeons and injectors recommend yearly touch up treatments. This recharges the PRP and stem cells in your body which keeps your hair and scalp healthy. Some may require more touch up treatments than others. Your provider can help you determine the optimal schedule for your hair restoration treatments and touch ups. 

Secondly, using over-the-counter hair growth options can help maintain hair after treatment. These options may not work for some patients, however, if you had moderate success with these products in the past, they may help keep your results looking healthy and full. 

Finally, laser caps can keep your hair follicles stimulated between PRP treatments and after you stop getting regular injections. Wearing the cap just a few minutes everyday can contribute to a fuller head of hair.

Platelet rich plasma has become a growing hair restoration technique in the past few years. Because it is rich in growth factors and various proteins, PRP offers the best hair restoration results in Seattle. At PRP in Seattle, we offer three different platelet rich plasma hair restoration.

PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet rich plasma on its own can serve as an effective hair restoration treatment. Derived from your blood, when PRP is injected into the hair follicles it can repair them and stimulate new hair growth. 

PRP + ACell Hair Restoration

During this procedure, PRP is combined with ACell, stem cells produced from pig bladders. Working together, the PRP will help along new hair growth while ACell lays a new, healthier foundation for your scalp and new hair.

Stem Cell Hair Restoration

Stem cell hair restoration uses PRP and stem cells sourced from human placenta to create the optimal environment for your hair. It nourishes the scalp and follicles from the inside out to provide the best chance at renewed hair.
