Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) For Men

Approximately 85% of men experience significant hair loss by the time they are 50. Over the years, many have searched for an effective solution to this widespread condition, prompting a development of a full-blown industry specializing in hair loss products for men. Unfortunately, too many of these hair loss treatments failed to match the exaggerated expectations due to a questionable quality or pseudoscientific quackery. The good news is that balding men no longer have to put up with ineffective hair loss brushes, massagers, herbal supplements, or hair plugs. Using advanced Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) treatment, Dr. Au will deliver tangible results through the injection of essential proteins that promote natural hair growth.

Causes For Hair Loss

In most cases, hair loss in men results from male-pattern baldness also known as androgenic alopecia. This condition is a genetic trait that is passed from mother to child. In addition to hereditary factors, it can also be caused by hormonal changes that occur with aging. Typically, male pattern baldness involves hair thinning as hair follicle shrink over time. Shrinking hair follicles result in shorter and finer hair, eventually culminating in baldness. Beginning at the hairline, male pattern baldness gradually recedes, forming a characteristic “M” shape. In its late stages, this condition yields a horseshoe or U-shaped pattern of hair around the sides of the head.

Additionally, men experience hair loss for a variety of other reasons. Hair thinning can result from high stress, illness, use of certain medications, too much vitamin A, or lack of protein in your diet. Smoking can also accelerate the development of male pattern baldness. Fortunately, these causes of hair loss are usually easier to reverse than genetically passed on male pattern baldness.

Causes For Hair Loss

Like men, most women notice hair loss in their 50s and 60s. However, while most men acquire male-pattern baldness due to a genetic condition passed on from mother to child, women experience hair loss due to a variety of other causes.

If the hair loss is sudden or hair follicles uniform in size, then it less likely to be caused by a hereditary condition. In such cases, the most common causes include pregnancy, anemia, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and skin conditions such as psoriasis. High levels of stress or physical trauma can also exacerbate hair thinning and baldness. Fortunately, unlike genetically inherited male-pattern baldness, hair loss due to the above-mentioned causes is much easier to control and reverse with the aid of advanced new treatments such as ACP injections.

Procedure

In the course of the ACP procedure, a small portion of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm and then processed to separate red and white blood cells from the platelets and the plasma. Relying on state-of-the-art technologies, our specialists are able to separate different components of the blood to produce Autologous Conditioned Plasma in approximately 20 minutes. Boosting the concentration of platelets to three or four times the normal level endows the ACP with remarkable rejuvenating effects.

Once processed, the ACP is injected into areas of the scalp that require focused attention. Making a small incision in the surface of the scalp activates the platelets within the ACP to repair damaged tissues and stimulate hair growth. Immediately after the treatment, the patients may experience temporary redness or spotting that typically disappears quickly enough to allow the patients resume their normal activities by the following day. While the ACP treatment may require some time to produce noticeable results, it has been proven to create a youthful and natural-looking appearance. Younger patients may experience perceptible changes sooner due to the more rapid healing process associated with youth.

Candidates

Patients who experience receding hairline and thinning areas as opposed to complete baldness typically make the best candidates for the ACP treatment. That being said, this treatment is contraindicated for those patients who have such medical conditions as chronic liver disease, platelet dysfunction syndromes, skin diseases, or certain metabolic disorders. In addition, you would be ineligible to receive the ACP treatment if you have undergone anti-coagulation therapy. Keeping in mind the contraindications for the ACP injections, it is crucial to be completely honest during the consultation so that Dr. Au may obtain sufficient information about your prior medical conditions or drug allergies.
