Is Acell really necessary for PRP and PRF hair restoration treatment?

Resourceful399551Apr 17, 2024
I was diagnosed earlier this year with Lichen Planoparis and am looking into getting PRF + Acell treatment. I’ve seen one Dr. mention adding acell doesn’t work, and another saying it’s unnecessary and may cause more swelling and trauma to the scalp. Although my hair thins, I still have a head full of hair, but my crown has a noticeable wide part. Will I still benefit from PRF alone?

The majority of the studies and data have utilized PRP. Metanalysis shows that PRP is effective. In my opinion, PRF is best utilized with an intradermal injection. Timing is important in this situation and makes the process more complicated. I believe that subdermal depo injection provides bet...
