With ACell + PRP, we can jumpstart existing hair follicles and reverse the thinning effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), preserve and thicken thinning hair, and give you a fuller head of hair. Say goodbye to hair loss and hello to confidence with our cutting-edge hair regrowth treatment.
Revolutionize Hair Regrowth with PRP Treatment
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, offers a unique solution to hair loss. This innovative treatment involves drawing a small tube of your own blood, which is then processed using a centrifuge to extract the concentrated plasma. By injecting this plasma into the scalp, we can stimulate miniaturizing hair follicles with a high concentration of growth factors, leading to effective regrowth. If you’re searching for a reliable hair restoration method, PRP might be just what you need.
Is every PRP treatment equal?
Have you ever wondered if all Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments are created equal? The truth is, the effectiveness and potency of PRP hair regrowth treatments can vary greatly based on several factors. At Better Life Clinics, we use the highest quality device on the market, the FDA-cleared Emcyte. With our precise protocols and optimal centrifuge settings, you can trust that our PRP treatments will deliver the best possible results for your hair regrowth needs.
Discover the Science Behind PRP’s Stunning Results
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the key to activating dormant hair follicles. Its platelet cells are full of growth factors that stimulate stem cells and other follicle cells, leading to accelerated tissue healing and regeneration. With PRP, it’s possible to revive inactive or recently grafted follicles and spark their activity into an active growth phase – giving you fuller, healthier hair.
Is PRP Safe?
If you’re wondering whether PRP therapy is safe, the answer is yes! This innovative treatment has been successfully performed for over two decades in various medical fields such as orthopedics, sports medicine, oral, neurological, plastic, and cosmetic surgeries. Medical literature from both Europe and the United States confirms positive outcomes for skin and wound healing. PRP uses your own cells, which makes it immunologically neutral, thus posing no danger of hypersensitivity or allergic or foreign-body reactions. Rest assured, PRP therapy is both effective and safe. Eliminate the risk of a blood infection by using your own cells, while we make sure to implement sterilized techniques throughout the entire treatment process. Research in the hair restoration industry indicates that PRP therapy combined with ACell therapy shows promising results in promoting hair growth.
What is ACell® (MatriStem MicroMatrix®)
ACell’s MatriStem MicroMatrix is a cutting-edge product designed with a unique protein derived from pig bladder tissues. As an unlinked, cell-free Extracellular Matrix (ECM) product, ACell offers tremendous potential for enhancing regenerative processes. For added safety, ACell eliminates cell and muscle tissues to avoid potential allergic reactions in sensitive patients. The product undergoes thorough disinfection, packaging, and sterilization with electron beam radiation to ensure maximum effectiveness.
MatriStem MicroMatrix, approved by the FDA, stand out from the rest because they have the potential to trigger the growth of new blood vessels and attract different cell types required for fast and efficient healing. These devices have a chemical structure similar to human tissues and are solely available through authorized healthcare professionals.
What are the Benefits of ACell: The Power of Stem Cells
Have you ever heard of stem cells? These incredible “master cells” can transform into over 200 types of cells, from skin cells to blood cells and beyond. Stem cells play a vital role in maintaining and repairing our body’s tissues, helping to replace damaged or lost cells throughout our lives. Unlike other cells that have a limited lifespan, stem cells can divide infinitely and even create entirely new cell types.
But how does this relate to ACell?
Whether you’re looking to restore hair growth or heal damaged tissues, ACell offers a natural and effective solution for a wide range of issues. Although adult stem cells have limited ability to create new tissue, they can be activated by the cutting-edge technology of ACell Matristem MicroMatrix. This innovative acellular treatment has the potential to revolutionize regenerative medicine and advance the field of tissue engineering.
ACell’s MatriStem MicroMatrix technology is a revolutionary solution that operates at the cellular level. Its main function is to encourage the activation of adult stem cells and enhance blood supply to the affected wound site. Subsequently, this initiates a natural process of repairing and remodeling damaged tissues. Furthermore, during the healing process, ACell cleverly reactivates adult stem cells and transforms them into progenitor cells that foster direct healing. This leads to the creation of pristine, native tissues instead of scar tissues. Activated stem cells also invite other cell types to the area, thereby kickstarting a regenerative process, culminating in complete tissue regeneration. ACell has the power to stimulate hair growth and enhance its quality by regenerating dormant follicular tissues when injected into the scalp.
Combining ACell and PRP for Hair Regrowth Therapy
At the 19th edition of the International Society of Hair Transplant Surgeons conference, medical professionals showcased findings that demonstrate the power of ACell to draw adult stem cells to an injury and transform them into progenitor cells, which in turn promotes hair growth within hair follicles. The ultimate objective behind injecting a mixture of ACell and the patient’s own adult stem cells into areas experiencing hair thinning is to stimulate the dormant adult stem cells in hair follicles and revive the hair growth process. Utilizing the body’s innate tissue regeneration process, miniaturized hair follicles undergo revitalization, resulting in the growth of fuller, stronger hair.
The ACell + PRP therapy effectively addresses male and female pattern hair loss and has successfully restored hair growth for individuals with alopecia areata, eyebrow hypotrichosis, and non-hereditary hair loss.
ACell + PRP for Hair Regrowth Therapy versus PRP Only: Why add Acell to my PRP?
For best results, it is necessary to repeat PRP treatment monthly for 3 months, then twice yearly to maintain results. While PRP may promote brief, restricted hair growth, it will not halt hair thinning in the long term. As a standalone solution, PRP does have its limits.
Combining ACell and PRP hair regrowth therapy offers a much more durable solution for hair loss. A study presented at the 2015 ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting demonstrated that the synergistic effect of both treatments greatly prolongs hair regrowth, reducing the frequency of treatment to once a year for most patients. The reason for this is that ACell effectively inhibits hair thinning by delivering the extracellular matrix (ECM) necessary for growing hair follicles. This powerful combination provides a long-lasting solution for hair loss.
It’s crucial to understand that ACell + PRP therapy for hair regrowth is effective only on active follicles. If you’ve been experiencing hair loss for more than five years, that area of your hair may not be recoverable, and a hair transplant might be necessary. While there may be exceptions, we recommend early intervention to save and thicken as much hair as possible. The sooner we start treatment, the more effective it is likely to be.
Experience ACell + PRP Hair Regrowth Therapy at Better Life Clinics in 6 Easy Steps:
1. Arrive at your scheduled appointment.
2. Photos of the treatment area are taken for reference.
3. The scalp is numbed using a lidocaine injection for comfort.
4. A small blood sample is drawn and mixed with ACell to prepare the PRP cocktail.
5. Laughing gas is administered to the patient for a relaxed treatment experience.
6. The ACell + PRP cocktail is expertly injected into the treatment area. Post-treatment care instructions are provided and a follow-up visit is scheduled to ensure optimal results.
How long will the procedure take?
The length of the ACell + PRP Hair Regrowth Therapy usually lasts around two hours in total. While the procedure itself is brief, lasting under an hour, an additional span of time is recommended to allow for the utilization of local anesthesia and laughing gas to enhance your comfort.
What is the downtime?
People usually go back to work right after the procedure! You may expect minimal downtime after the procedure with mild to moderate scalp discomfort and swelling in the forehead. Some inflammation and redness may occur at the treatment area, but these symptoms are temporary. For the most optimal healing, avoid overexertion and exercise during the first 24 hours of recovery.
Wondering about the effects of ACell + PRP Hair Regrowth Therapy?
Be informed that positive outcomes can be expected around 4 to 8 months after the injection procedure. With adherence to the regular hair growth cycle, notable changes will be seen, particularly in the quality of hair growth, within six months to a year. You’ll notice a denser and thicker hair, with improvements in your hairline being the most prominent.
The thickening of your hair will persist for a duration of 12 to 15 months. These favorable outcomes can last for months and even years; however, regression may eventually commence. It is important to note that individual results may differ with each patient. By developing a comprehensive strategy and sustaining a continuous alliance with Dr. Ibrahim, you can ascertain the optimal time for your subsequent procedure to maintain the growth and prosperity of your hair.
What is the Maintenance Schedule for ACell+PRP Hair Regrowth Therapy
For patients receiving the PRP treatment alone, maintenance is recommended at once a month for the initial 3 treatments, followed by once every six months thereafter. However, constant maintenance is necessary if you opt for PRP treatment alone.
ACell + PRP therapy is recommended once a year and we suggest scheduling a follow-up assessment every three months. The therapy usually provides results that last for one to two years, but additional booster treatments may be needed to maintain the desired outcome.
