PRP and Acell to Restore Eyebrows Thickness?

yagohaikuDec 7, 2011
Hi, I have read about the possible benefits of PRP and Acell injections to restore hair thickness and color. What I have seen was studied with scalp hair, so I would like to know if PRP and Acell is able to restore the appearance of eyebrows which are sparse due to overplucking. I have many thin hairs with a light color, but the follicles still survive. Thank you for your attention.
