Id like to know on the effectivity of the treatment, any possible side effects.
Answer: Side effects from ACell & PRP hair injections There are little to no side effects from PRP hair injections as you are using your own platelets. The injection utilizes small needles so the risk of bruising is minimal. We have patients resume regular activities immediately post treatment.I do not see the added value to ACell and there are no published clinical studies showing that ACell will enhance the PRP hair results. I can't justify the significant added cost.

Answer: PRP and Acell effectiveness and side effects I don't use Acell, so I can't speak to its effectiveness. PRP is showing more and more promise with new research studies being released showing that it is effective for a variety of hair loss applications, including male-pattern baldness. Due to these studies and my own experience with my patients, I do believe that PRP works for hair loss. It is not a substitute for a hair transplant, but can be a nice bridge to a transplant, a supplement in a post-hair transplant patient, or a non-surgical option for patients who are not interested in a transplant.

Answer: It works for most people (not 100%), but you need to do more than one injection My fellow (I am co-director for an AAFPRS affiliated University fellowship program) reviewed the American literature (available on pubmed, and any other literature we could find) on this topic. If only one injection was performed, the results were random. If two injections were performed, about 50% of people (male and female) responded. If three injections were performed about 80% of people responded. Whether or not subsequent injections need be performed to maintain results could not be determined. I suppose that further data will need to be obtained, but that is what is available so far.

Answer: How effective are PRP injections to treat hair loss? So far there are many reports of PRP working to prevent hair loss but to date, no solid scientific studies on this. From what we can tell so far is that at a minimum, it can really help maintain and strengthen the hair you currently have and at best actually promote new hair growth to a degree. The side effects is mostly swelling, some tenderness and possibly bruising for a few days. It really isn't a replacement for hair transplantation or transfer but can act a supplemental treatment to enhance the results or as a temporary measure if you are waiting to have hair transfer in the future.
