I was offered this procedure by a plastic surgeon but haven't seen any documentation describing all three agents together showing success. Thank you for your time.

Answer: Understanding Hair loss and hair loss treatment options: Acell, prp and progesterone I don't find Acell to be that effective. You would need a formal evaluation with a hair loss expert to determine cause and the best treatment options. I have great success in my practice using injectable progesterone and prp to the scalp. I suggest seeing a dermatologist with expertise in hair loss. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: There is no scienctific evidence in the literature for Acell or adipose tissue for hair growth at this time Scientific literature is sorely lacking for these newer therapies aimed at hair growth. There is growing evidence for PRP but once you start combining therapies, any "scientific study" would become more and exponentially more difficult to provide reliable results. These are not "drugs" so therefore they do not go through FDA approval as such and therefore there is little financial backing to support clinical trials. It's exciting to hear about new possible therapies for hair growth but be leery of anecdotal evidence (case reports or testimonials) because they are very unscientific.
