“When a patient sits down with me for the first time and describes watching their hair thin over the past few years, I understand the weight of that conversation. Hair loss is personal. It affects how people see themselves, how they show up at work, in relationships, and in their own reflection. What I’ve found over 25 years of practice is that the most effective approach is one that works with your body, not against it.
ACell + Power PRP is a treatment I believe in clinically and personally. I’ve been performing PRP-based hair therapies for over a decade, and combining it with ACell’s extracellular matrix technology is what separates this protocol from basic PRP alone. I’m not handing you a brochure and promising miracles. What I’m offering is an evidence-informed treatment, performed precisely, with realistic expectations and consistent follow-up. Every patient’s scalp is different. Every treatment plan I develop reflects that. My job is to give you the best possible biology to work with, and then let your own follicles do the rest.”
Understanding the biology behind the treatment helps set accurate expectations and supports informed decision-making.
Power PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is created from a small sample of your own blood. After centrifugation concentrates the platelets, the resulting solution is rich in growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1. Injected precisely into the scalp, these signals prompt follicular stem cells to re-enter the active growth phase (anagen), increase blood supply to each follicular unit, and reduce the inflammatory environment that underlies many types of hair loss.
ACell MatriStem is a porcine-derived extracellular matrix material. When introduced to the scalp tissue, it activates a constructive remodeling response rather than scar formation. New blood vessels, connective tissue, and follicular support cells develop at the treatment site, creating a healthier microenvironment that sustains the growth factors delivered by the PRP component. This dual-action effect is what distinguishes ACell + Power PRP from standard PRP injections alone.
Blood Draw: Approximately 30-60 mL drawn from the patient’s arm using standard venipuncture.
Randomized controlled trial of 23 patients with androgenetic alopecia. PRP injections produced a statistically significant mean increase of 33.6 hairs per cm2 at 3 months versus placebo. Total hair count and hair thickness improved measurably.
Limitation: Small sample size; long-term durability was not assessed in this trial.
Prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study. PRP delivered every 3 months produced significant improvements in hair count and patient satisfaction at 6 months in patients with androgenetic alopecia.
Limitation: Pilot design with limited sample size; findings may not generalize to all hair loss subtypes.
PRP combined with an extracellular matrix (ACell) showed improved anagen-to-telogen ratio and clinical hair density gains compared to PRP alone, suggesting a synergistic biological effect from the two-component combination.
Limitation: Single-center study with limited sample size; generalizability may be affected.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT. PRP treatment increased hair count by approximately 45.9 hairs per cm2 at 6 months and improved hair thickness by 40% versus baseline, with results sustained at 12-month follow-up.
Limitation: All participants had androgenetic alopecia; results in other hair loss conditions require further study.
Systematic review of PRP for androgenetic alopecia. Majority of studies reported positive outcomes in hair density and thickness, with most patients noting subjective improvement beginning around 3 months post-treatment.
Limitation: Heterogeneity across PRP preparation methods and injection protocols makes direct study comparisons difficult.
ACell + Power PRP is used at Orlando Hair Clinic for a range of clinically appropriate hair loss conditions, based on published evidence and Dr. J’s extensive clinical experience.
When used alongside surgical hair restoration options available at Orlando Hair Clinic, including NeoGraft Hair Transplant and FUE procedures, ACell + Power PRP supports faster healing at donor and recipient sites and may improve overall graft survival rates. Dr. J evaluates each patient’s suitability for combination therapy during the initial consultation.
Safety Information ACell + Power PRP is a medical procedure involving injectable biologics. As with any injection-based treatment, potential risks include temporary soreness at injection sites, mild swelling, and rare risk of infection. All procedures at Orlando Hair Clinic are performed directly by Dr. J (Dr. Junaid Syed MD), a board-certified physician, under sterile clinical conditions. Individual results vary. This treatment is not a cure for all forms of hair loss, and a thorough medical consultation is required before any treatment begins. Contact our office at (407) 853-2677 with any questions about your specific health history
Dr. J personally evaluates your scalp, reviews your medical history, and uses digital trichoscopy to map follicle density across treatment zones. This visit determines whether ACell + Power PRP is appropriate for your specific pattern and stage of hair loss - and whether a combination plan with NeoGraft or another therapy would serve you better.
On the day of your procedure, a small volume of blood is drawn from your arm - typically 30 to 60 mL - and placed into a specialized centrifuge. The spin cycle separates your plasma from red blood cells and concentrates the platelets to a therapeutic level far above baseline. The ACell MatriStem bioscaffold is prepared alongside the PRP for co-administration.
A topical anesthetic is applied to the scalp and allowed to take full effect before any injections begin. Dr. J then administers the combined ACell + Power PRP solution through a series of precise microinjections across the treatment zone. The entire injection phase typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain.
There is no downtime requiring you to take days off work. Mild scalp tenderness, redness, or light swelling at injection sites is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. For the first 24 hours, avoid vigorous exercise, direct sun exposure on the scalp, and swimming. NSAIDs should be avoided for 72 hours post-procedure to protect the platelet activity driving the treatment response. Written aftercare instructions are provided at your appointment.
New hair growth typically becomes visible between 8 and 12 weeks after your first treatment, with continued improvement for up to one year. Dr. J schedules a clinical follow-up at the 3-month mark to assess your response and determine whether a second session at 6 months would optimize your outcome. Annual maintenance sessions help preserve and extend the results over time.
Central Florida’s climate presents unique challenges for hair health. The combination of intense UV exposure, high humidity, saltwater and chlorinated pool use, and heat-driven scalp perspiration can accelerate follicle miniaturization in patients already predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Patients from Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Kissimmee, Celebration, and the broader I-4 corridor consistently report that environmental stressors – compounded by lifestyle demands – made nonsurgical options like ACell + Power PRP a practical and time-efficient choice before considering surgery.
Orlando’s diverse, active population – from healthcare professionals and hospitality workers to college students, theme park employees, and active retirees – reflects the full spectrum of patients who benefit from ACell + Power PRP. People in appearance-conscious industries or public-facing roles often seek a treatment that fits into a busy schedule without a visible recovery period. With no downtime and sessions typically under two hours, ACell + Power PRP at Orlando Hair Clinic is designed around the working Central Floridian’s reality. Patients travel from Tampa, Jacksonville, Sarasota, Port St. Lucie, and as far as South Florida specifically to work with Dr. J, citing his credentials, his personalized approach, and the clinic’s reputation for physician-performed care.
Orlando Hair Clinic is located in the Sand Lake medical corridor – one of Central Florida’s premier healthcare districts – offering easy access from I-4 and the Florida Turnpike. For patients flying in from other parts of the state, the clinic is minutes from Orlando International Airport. Whether you are a local resident from the Dr. Phillips or Windermere neighborhoods or driving in from Brevard County, Volusia County, or the Space Coast, Dr. J and his team are equipped to evaluate and treat your hair loss with the clinical precision and patient-centered care that defines Orlando Hair Clinic’s standard.
