Hair Duplication with ACell: Regenerating the Hair Transplant Donor Supply?

This question, from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Carlos Wesley:

Dr Wesley, has there been any sign of donor regeneration from the application of [tag]ACell[/tag] to the donor?

We’re certainly looking at it closely and have effectively adopted the use of both ACell and [tag]platelet rich plasma[/tag] ([tag]PRP[/tag]) into our patients’ [tag]follicular unit extraction[/tag] ([tag]FUE[/tag]) donor healing.

Although we haven’t initiated any formal investigation, there is anecdotal evidence that it can help regenerate hair follicles ([tag]hair duplication[/tag]) from transacted hair fragments in the [tag]hair transplant[/tag] donor area.
