Can I use PRP and ACELL for thinning hair? Does Acell prolong PRP? is ACELL+RPR series of PRP? how about allergy and shock loss?

Question

I heard that Acell can prolong PRP so you only need one (or two) treatment per year. I also hear that adding Acell might cause shock loss and some allergy? So is ACELL + PRP has the same effectiveness as a series of PRP treatments?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

PRP and cell work more together than alone. Exosome therapy gives even better results or ALMI procedure.
I suggest a formal consultation as there are a combination of treatments that can be done to improve har loss.  Oral finesteride has very little to no side effects in the majority of people; PRP/platelet-rich plasma + stem cells like A Cell help regrow hair and slow down the thinning process; rogaine and restorsea spray should be used daily; oral viviscal helps keep nutrients high in the follices as well.  Transplantation is a last resort but works early in the aging process as well.  A formal consultation and combination treatment is needed.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are no studies to validate any benefit of the addition of Acell to PRP. In fact, you are correct in stating that the incidence of shock loss and allergic reactions increase when using Acell with PRP.  If you are looking for additional response from PRP, with minimal risks, EXOSOMES are excellent at stimulating rapid hair growth (even in balding areas). We routinely add EXOSOMES to PRP.

Hello and thank you for your question. There is no evidence that using ACELL with PRP is beneficial. It will benefit you to see a hair loss professional in person and see what is best fo you. Best wishes.Dr. T

The complete absence of clinical proof in the value of either PRP by itself of PRP with ACELL is a hallmark of this treatment modality
