ACell + PRP Case Studies 2010-2011

 

Acell + PRP injected into the balding skin of a 70-year old man results in new hair growth.

ACell and PRP (platelet rich plasma) causes new terminal hair to grow

10x magnification shows new terminal hairs next to existing hairs after Hair Regeneration injection performed 3 months earlier.

 

Note two important details:
1) New terminal hairs sprouting all over the injected thinning area.
2) The new hairs are the original dark color — NONE are gray.

Traditional Transplant vs Acell Hair Transplant

 

Hair Regeneration Treatment

 

Male Case Study 1 - Before ACell Crown 26-year-old male experienced frontal and occipital hair loss. Patient elected to undergo ACell with saline injections (Prior to use of ACell with PRP) and postpone hair transplantation.

Male Case Study 1 ACell Crown- After

Follow up at 16 months. Patient will continue to be monitored. (No other future treatments scheduled currently)

Acell + PRP Injections Before and After
Patient aged 29-years old. Treatment: Acell + PRP

Condition: Progressive genetic hair loss. Patient did not want hair transplant surgery or oral treatment with Propecia.

Recommendation: Trial injections with Acell plus Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Expectation: To possibly halt hair loss and evaluate in 6 months for future treatment or surgery.

Current evaluation: No further treatment until 1 year follow up.

before and after Acell PRP in hair transplant
Patient aged 52-years old. Treatment: Acell + PRP

Condition: Class VI genetic hair loss pattern. Patient had previous hair transplant surgery with poor growth.

Recommendation: Trial injections with Acell plus Arterial Platelet Rich Plasma (APRP)

Expectation: To possibly halt additional hair loss and thicken existing hair transplants.

Current Evaluation:  After a 1 year follow-up there was additional hair growth from the surrounding hair and from previous hair transplants. No apparent ongoing hair loss.

ACell’s technology is not limited to one market segment (e.g., wound care), but can serve as a core technology for treating a wide range of human medical conditions.

 

Current Results of Hair Regeneration, and Refinement of the ACell+PRP Algorithm

Work on ACell+PRP continually evolved after 2011. The Hair Regeneration treatment is not a specific formulation of ACell and PRP that applies to all patients, but rather an algorithm that determines the optimal formulation of ACell and PRP for each patient based on these variables:

  • Gender
  • Age of onset of pattern hair loss
  • Degree of pattern hair loss
  • Other medical factors, such as past hair transplant(s)
  • Other medications used, such as finasteride
