Hair loss is a common concern for male and female patients alike. Hair thinning or loss can be caused by genetics, various diseases and conditions, or a number of other factors, but in any case, losing your hair can be frustrating, upsetting, and even embarrassing. Fortunately, our hair restoration surgeon, Carrie Houssock, MD, FACS, is experienced with several advanced hair growth techniques – both of the surgical and non-surgical variety. For instance, those uninterested in surgery may benefit from Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and ACell® injection therapy.
A relatively new and very innovative procedure, this therapy involves the injection of a patient’s own extracted blood, which has been mixed with regenerative ACell® solution, into the scalp. The combination of ACell® and PRP can activate the body’s healing properties, rejuvenate the hair follicles, and encourage healthy hair growth. In some cases, to achieve optimal results, it may be recommended to perform this treatment alongside other procedures, such as hair transplant surgery or other non-surgical options. Especially in the case of surgery, PRP with ACell® can provide a boost in hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
In addition, Dr. Houssock offers a number of pharmaceutical-grade compounded technical solutions, including our potent Compounded Minoxidil Formula. Minoxidil, one of the solution’s primary ingredients, is used as a hair growth supplement in some of the best-quality products on the market. Often used to supplement PRP with ACell® injection therapy, this powerful formula can treat hair loss, bald spots, receding hairlines, and more.
