What Is Advanced PRP Treatment?

Advanced PRP at our clinic means PRP combined with ACell. The PRP part is the same as any plasma treatment: your blood is spun to concentrate the platelets and their growth factors. ACell is an extracellular matrix product used in regenerative medicine. It is prepared as a fine powder and mixed with the plasma before injection.

The idea is that the matrix acts as a support framework while the growth factors signal weak follicles to repair and grow. Research on ACell for hair loss is still limited, so we do not promise a set result. We offer it to selected patients with more noticeable thinning, where a stronger regenerative approach may be worth trying. It sits between standard PRP and surgery in the range of hair restoration in Lahore options we offer.

Advanced PRP Treatment Candidates

• Noticeable thinning: moderate loss where many follicles are weak but still present.
• Limited response to plain PRP: patients who had standard PRP and want to try a combined approach.
• Thinning crown or top: a visible drop in density across the mid-scalp or crown.
• Wants to delay surgery: people who are not yet ready for a transplant and understand PRP cannot replace one.
• Suitable health profile: no bleeding disorder, scalp infection or other reason to avoid scalp injections.

Advanced PRP Treatment Sessions

1. Assessment: Dr. Aneel examines your scalp and history and confirms whether Advanced PRP suits your stage of loss.
2. Blood draw: a small sample is taken from your arm.
3. PRP preparation: the sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
4. Mixing with ACell: the ACell powder is combined with the prepared plasma.
5. Numbing and injection: after numbing, the mixture is injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles.
6. Follow-up plan: we set review dates and advise if further sessions are needed.

Advanced PRP Treatment Results Timeline

Time After Session	What to Expect
Same day	Redness and tenderness at the injection sites. Most patients resume normal activity.
Day 2 – 4	Mild swelling or scalp tightness settles. Follow the washing advice given.
Week 2 – 4	No visible change yet. Follicles are responding beneath the surface.
Month 2 – 3	Some patients notice less shedding and stronger strands.
Month 4 – 6	Review with Dr. Aneel to measure density and decide next steps.
Month 6 – 12	Progress continues for responders. Top-up plans are discussed at review.

Response to Advanced PRP differs between patients. It supports existing follicles and does not create hair where follicles have been lost.
