PRP With ACELL Hair Restoration In Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland
For anyone experiencing hair loss or thinning hair, assessing your hair restoration options can be a frustrating and arduous task. Between hair transplanting, over-the-counter products, and other hair restoration methods on the market, choosing the one right for you is difficult without the guidance of a seasoned professional.
At PRP In Seattle, our providers offer ACell PRP injection therapy for patients experiencing hair thinning and hair loss. With knowledge and training in hair restoration procedures, they use cutting-edge technology to stimulate hair growth using a combination of your own growth proteins and manufactured stem cells. Seattle Plastic Surgery offers PRP with ACell restoration for patients in the Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland areas.
How does PRPR with ACell Hair Restoration in Seattle wokeks?
PRP with ACell hair restoration harnesses your body’s healing response to repair and stimulate hair follicles. One of the main causes of hair loss is the shrinking of hair follicles and the loss of blood vessels in the scalp. Combining ACell PRP injection therapy helps repair shrunken hair follicles and promote the regrowth of new ones. As well as, triggering the formation of new blood vessels and tissue to nourish the roots of your new hair.
Platelet Rich Plasma:
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a regenerative treatment used in the cosmetic and physical therapy fields to promote new cell growth. PRP comes from your blood and is rich in growth hormones and white blood cells. During your ACell PRP injection therapy in Seattle, we will draw your blood sample and use a state-of-the-art centrifuge to isolate the PRP.
When used in regenerative treatments such as microneedling with PRP or hair restoration, PRP stimulates cellular repair and the production of new cells. In PRP with ACell hair restoration, PRP helps reduce miniaturized hair follicles by stimulating your body to repair them with natural growth factors. This sets the stage for brand-new hair growth in thinning and lost areas.
ACell:
ACell is a type of stem cell produced from pig bladders. This tissue is chemically similar to human tissue and often compatible. Surgeons use this type of stem cell in a variety of ways, including to help heal wounds and burns. ACell contains high amounts of macrophages and fibroblasts, which will work with the white blood cells your body sends to the site.
Your provider will use these stem cells to promote rejuvenation of your hair follicles and scalp. With optimal treatment and results, ACell injection can act like new skin and tissue, providing an ample environment for your new hair growth.
Key Benefits Of Stem Cells in ACell Injection
As mentioned above, when the stem cells latch onto your scalp, they can stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the scalp. Blood vessels provide nourishment for the skin of your scalp and new hair growth. There is evidence that those with hair loss often have fewer blood vessels in their scalp, which may contribute to hair loss. The ACell helps combat this by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels in the scalp. This increases blood flow and the number of blood vessels.
Stem cells essentially rebuild the foundation of your scalp, making it stronger and better fortified for new hair growth. ACell PRP injection therapy in Bellevue has grown in popularity due to its powerful healing properties, which promote cell regeneration and, in turn, support hair growth. PRF hair restoration is also an option that uses your body’s stem cells.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Anyone experiencing hair loss may benefit from Seattle PRP with ACell hair restoration. While it depends on the cause of your hair loss, most people with hair loss can see results from PRP with ACell hair restoration. If you are bald or have complete hair loss, this hair restoration treatment may not be recommended. Your Seattle provider will determine if this type of hair restoration could benefit you.
Because the procedure requires a blood draw to produce PRP, you need to be healthy enough and able to donate blood. Blood or certain autoimmune disorders may complicate this aspect of your Bellevue hair restoration treatment. It is important to provide your provider with a full medical history so they can determine whether PRP with ACell injection for hair restoration is the right hair treatment for you.
What are the PRP with ACell Hair Restoration Techniques?
Your Seattle provider will begin your procedure by drawing your blood to begin processing the PRP. The PRP is centrifuged to separate it from other blood components. This takes about 20 minutes, during which a topical anesthetic is applied to your scalp. By the time the PRP is ready, the anesthetic should have taken effect, and your provider will mix the PRP and stem cells.
Using a short needle, your provider will begin injecting the PRP and ACell mixture into your scalp. They will precisely inject into the areas of thinning and hair loss, tailoring your treatment to you during the procedure. This custom approach allows you to get the most out of your injectable hair restoration in Seattle.
Because of the topical anesthetic, you should not feel any pain during the procedure. You will remain fully alert and awake during the procedure. The entire ACell injection treatment takes around 1-2 hours, depending upon the size of the treatment areas and your needs.
Hair Grafting VS. PRP with ACell Hair Restoration
PRP with ACell hair restoration in Kirkland is one among many hair restoration options. Hair grafting, or hair transplant surgery, involves taking hair from one area of the scalp (or another part of the body) and transplanting it into the scalp. Hoping that it will grow and fill in the thinning or balding area. Normally, these treatments don’t include any stimulation to generate new hair, simply transplanting the hair in thin strips.
Hair transplants work for some patients, but others continue to experience hair loss, and the grafted hair does not take hold. For these patients, PRP with ACell hair injection may be a better option because it stimulates hair growth directly within the hair follicles.
PRP with ACell hair restoration does not require hair grafting, meaning the hair produced by the procedure is entirely new. It also lowers the risk and invasiveness of the procedure.
Hair grafting carries a risk of scarring, whereas PRP with ACell hair restoration does not require an incision and therefore carries very little risk of scarring. The needle pricks are small and most of the time do not produce any visible or long-term scarring.
Non-surgical hair restoration can improve the results of hair transplant surgery. It helps your scalp heal more quickly, may promote quicker results, and often improves hair density and thickness. Non-surgical injections can also increase graft survival and hair retention.
Key Benefits of ACell PRP Injection Therapy
Along with the growth of new hair and the repair of hair follicles, Kirkland PRP with ACell hair restoration holds many benefits. First, PRP with ACell hair restoration is a non-invasive and low-risk procedure. Injectables–of any kind–are usually safe for healthy patients. With the help of topical anesthetics, the procedure is painless and requires no downtime.
However, your specific health and needs may warrant taking it easy for a short period after treatment. Even so, with no surgery or incisions, your side effects should subside quickly. Before you leave our office, your provider will give you a personalized aftercare plan.
At PRP In Seattle, each PRP with ACell hair restoration treatment is different and customized to fit your needs. Your provider will listen to your concerns and desires for your procedure. That way, they can make sure the procedure is designed especially to fit your hair and goals.

After Your Hair Restoration Procedure in Seattle
Immediately after your ACell PRP injection therapy, your scalp may feel tender and sore for a few days. However, you can continue with your everyday routine as soon as you leave our office. You can take pain medications approved by your Seattle provider if needed.
Since it is a non-invasive procedure that usually requires no downtime, there are no specific recovery instructions. While your Seattle provider may give you individualized instructions based on your medical history or custom procedure, you can expect no extensive recovery period.
As mentioned above, you may experience some pain or tightness in your scalp for a few days after your ACell hair restoration injections with PRP. You should not feel any major pain. Your provider will advise you on at-home remedies and over-the-counter medications to manage any discomfort you may experience after ACell hair restoration with PRP in Seattle.
When Can I Expect Results?
With any hair restoration procedure, it will take time to see the final results. It’s possible to see results in 1-3 months, but on average, patients see their Seattle PRP with ACell hair restoration results in around 4-8 months. Some patients choose to have another treatment around six months later to prolong and improve their results.
Depending on the state of your hair thinning and loss, you may not require more than one treatment. Your provider can give you a general idea of how many treatments you may need once they understand your needs.
