Dr. Cole - Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) & Acell Hair Therapy

PRP (platelet rich plasma) and ACell are two new advances in the fight against hair loss and thinning hair. These two are non invasive treatments and patient friendly. PRP uses the patient's own blood as growth factors in the treatment. According to recent studies and trials, PRP improves hair caliber and growth. ACell is an FDA approved regenerative product that dramatically improves healing, promotes small blood vessel formation and decreases hypopigmentation and junk scar tissue. Dr. Cole is seeing hair follicle regeneration in his patient’s donor areas where ACell was applied, ranging from 10% to 70%. On average, Dr. Cole is seeing follicle regeneration right around 50%.

As for scar healing in hair transplant, according to Dr. Cole's representative who posts regularly in or forum, "When ACell is applied to the donor extraction sites, they remain as pink dots for a limited time. Once the pinkness fades, we have found it nearly impossible to find the extraction sites".

Of course, the most anticipated expectation for PRP-ACell treatment is that they can produce hair regrowth as a stand alone treatment without requiring any hair transplant or FUE procedures. That would be the ultimate in hair restoration, and solve the need for the countless research and experiments in hair cloning or hair multiplication.

According to Dr. Cole, there have been over 30 growth factors identified in platelets thus far, some of which are:

• Epithelial Growth Factor:
• Fibroblast Growth Factor:
• Platelet Derived Growth Factor:
• Transforming Growth Factor- Beta:
• Transforming Growth Factor- Alpha:
• Interleukin 1:
• Insulin Growth Factors:
• Vascular endotheial growth factor (VEGF):

Platelet Rich Plasma PRP Hair Theray Testimonial

Actual hair restoration patient testimonials after being treated with Platelet Rich Plasma and ACell.  Prior to treatment, patient was using Propecia and Rogaine but with minimal results.

Below is the protocol as described by Dr. Cole's clinic:

"In the first session we used the Angel system, to produce a 5x platelet increase with a low WBC count in 2012. We also used 15 mg of Acell. The patient noted his best improvement 8 months after this treatment. The patient returned 12 months later for a second PRP treatment at the same settings on the Angel system along with 60 mg of Acell".

More about ACell -

Recent advances in the world of Regenerative Medicine have been very exciting. Fingertips are being regenerated, organs and heart valves have been cloned and are successfully being implanted in patients. Now one of the leading innovators in the field of regenerative medicine, ACell, Inc., has asked the Plastic Surgeons at Dr. Gary Hitzig’s offices in Rockville Centre, NY to test the use of their MatriStem product for healing the wounds associated with hair transplant sites. Dr. Hitzig and his colleagues will examine MatriStem’s ability to reduce scar tissue and regenerate hair within the donor region of hair transplant patients. MatriStem will also be tested for cloning transplanted hair from the donor area and the beard and growing it in bald areas on the top of the scalp.

ACell’s patented Extracellular Matrix (ECM) products are covered by multiple 510(k) clearances and address important unmet clinical needs, providing safe, effective and therapeutic outcomes. Derived from porcine urinary bladders and referred to as UBM (urinary bladder matrix), trademarked as MatriStem™, ACell’s core technology is a naturally occurring, non-crosslinked, completely resorbable acellular biomaterial. A similar “first generation” ECM technology has been used to treat over 500,000 patients with remarkable effect. ACell’s MatriStem products are the next generation of ECM technology due to its unique characteristics featuring a basement membrane surface which is ideal for epithelial cell growth in many applications.

“We are growing new hair in prior donor scar sites as well as duplicating (growing multiple hairs from a single transplanted beard or donor hair) in the bald recipient area” states Dr. Ted Chaglassian, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital and Attending Physician at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in NYC. He further states: “Where we go from here is anyone’s guess but the future of cloning growing hair has just been made a reality in the present!”. - reprinted with permission from Dr. Hitzig

Readers are cautioned that this is largely an experimental treatment, there is no guarantee what kind of results one may expect from this treatment and there might be undesirable side effects associated with this therapy.  Readers are advised to seek proper medical advice, do thorough research and discuss with multiple physicians who have experience in this kind of treatment before proceeding with this form of procedure.

Platelet Rich Plasma PRP is a cell based hair treatment that uses the patient's own blood as growth factors. ACell is a extracellular matrix that promotes cell regeneration.

• Women Hair Transplant - with the past decade or so, the female population has officially recognized and accepted the fact that they too lose their hair just like men do, although in a different pattern.
