ACell prp injections with hair transplant

Hair transplants are the only permanent way to gain back your crowning glory. Hair transplants procedures when performed correctly, impart natural looking results that do not require any maintenance. But like any surgical procedure, it comes with some side effects. The most feared side affect of hair transplant is shock loss. Due to shock loss, an individual temporarily loses his/her entire head of hair after hair transplant. Thankfully this stage lasts only about two to three months and hair starts to grow back normally afterwards. People do not want to deal with this temporary side effect as most have them have to go to work, a week after the surgery and they cannot afford to have a completely bald head. Hence to minimize the effects of shock loss, ACell prp injections with hair transplant are used.

ACell and PRP

What are ACell prp injections with hair transplant comprised of? PRP or platelet rich plasma is concentrated plasma which contains five times more platelets than normal blood. Additionally, it comprises of vascular, platelet derived and transforming growth factors. They not only facilitate hair growth but also promote wound healing.

ACell is helps to repair the damaged tissues. ACell is basically a matrix of proteins which is found in the tissues. When used for hair growth, it involves stimulating stem cells to generate dormant hair follicles.

These two treatments when used together for hair growth are called ACell prp injections with hair transplant. They not only help with the growth of hair but reduce hair fall and promote hair growth.

ACell prp injections with hair transplant

PRP is derived from an individual’s own blood. To extract platelet rich plasma, an individual’s blood is extracted and with the help of a centrifuge, solid particles are separated from liquid components. Solid portion of blood is called PRP and it is enriched with growth factors. ACell is comprised of extracellular matrix which is enriched with collagens and proteins. It is a naturally occurring protein which stimulates the healing process. PRP and ACell are combined together and ACell prp injections are administered to the scalp.

Action mechanism of ACell and PRP

The injections whether used with or without the hair transplant, stimulate damaged hair follicles and promote hair growth. It also helps amplify body’s natural ability to heal wounds which is an added advantage when used in combination with hair transplant surgery. The ACell prp injections also help to stimulate dermal papilla. It controls and minimizes the affects of shock loss that’s why most surgeons suggest getting these injections along with hair transplant.

Along with hair transplants ACell/PRP injections are injected into the scalp to promote healing process of the transplanted grafts, stimulating hair growth and prevent scar formation on the recipient’s area.
