What Is ACell + PRP?

ACell + PRP is a regenerative hair loss treatment that combines two technologies: ACell MatriStem, a healing matrix made from porcine (pig bladder) tissue, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood. Together, they aim to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote healing after hair transplant procedures, and slow down hair thinning.

How It Works

• ACell provides a biological scaffold that encourages cellular repair and regeneration in damaged scalp tissue.
• PRP is extracted by drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge, and injecting the growth factor-rich plasma into the scalp.
• When combined, ACell enhances the effectiveness and longevity of PRP therapy, especially after procedures like FUE or DHI.

Who It’s For

• People with early-stage hair loss
• Patients seeking non-surgical options
• Individuals who’ve had a hair transplant and want to speed up healing or improve graft survival
• Those looking to strengthen miniaturized or thinning hair

Benefits

• Accelerates healing post-transplant

Limitations & Risks

• Results vary; not a guaranteed solution for advanced hair loss

• Mild swelling or discomfort post-injection
• Use of ACell may raise ethical or religious concerns for some (porcine-derived)
