PRP and Acell to Restore Eyebrows Thickness?

Question

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.

PRP can be used to thicken and regrow hair anywhere on the body including the eyebrows.  Combining with ACell or even stem cells from your own fat can enhance the result.

PRP won't bring plucked eyebrows back to life.  It's hard to say what benefit it may have, if any, on your eyebrows.  It also won't grow hair where there is no follicle.  You are far better off having an eyebrow transplant.

PRP and Acell probably will not restore your eyebrow hair loss from over plucking.  See a doctor for a proper exam and treatment options.

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

PRP works on follicles that have some hair, fine or thick.  If the follicle is scarred from plucking, no results have been documented.  It may be easier for you to try Latiesse in an off label manner. If that is not successful, transplants are your best alternative.Thanks

You are not likely to see good result using Acell and/or prp for eyebrow hair loss. Your best bet would be a hair transplant.
