Senior Member Levrais Posted December 29, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2011 This is an awesome result. The difference is subtle yet solid and very natural. His donor looks like he has thousands of grafts left if he ever wanted to do more.

Senior Member Dr. Paul Shapiro Posted December 30, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2011 Montreal ACell is an extracellular matrix with growth factors. It is made from porcine bladders. It is safe in Humans, because it is acellualr. It was originally formulated for wound healing and has remarkable results. It has been used in hair transplants because the follicular unit graft needs growth factors to stimulate progenitor cells to make the new blood cells and tissue for a healthy follicle. We are using it in all our FUE cases because we believe the follicles are more fragile than strip cases. We are just seeing the results using Acell. It could be used in traditional strip cases also, but our survival is so good in strip cases we are not using it in most of our strip cases.

Regular Member RockZ Posted December 31, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thank you for posting the pictures Janna. It was great being able to come back in and visit. The staff at SMG were phenomenal, extremely attentive and very friendly as usual. They certainly go above and beyond in taking care of their patients. It may be appear to be a subtle difference but it has absolutely made a world of difference for me as far as the density (I was pleasantly surprised) and the overall appearance of my hairline. I've been able to style my hair much easier and I am indeed extremely happy with the results! I will continue to post updates soon to my website. Thanks again.

Its flawless I might add. Thanks Levrais. When I wrote about it being subtle but making a huge difference I made that comment independently before I saw yours so no need to clarify. Your case was a huge inspiration for mine. Yes, ACell seems to have been working great. My Hair Loss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hair1111 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 brilliant result do far!! I remember lurking around the forum and reading your thread in may. Im happy it worked out great for you.

Senior Member zenmunk Posted January 22, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2012 RockZ, I'm considering FUE, too. I'll probably need 1300 - 1600 grafts to restore my hairline as well. I'm concerned with donor density post-HT. I've seen some pics of other FUE patients where extraction patterns created subtle rectangular outlines within which the density appears less than the hair outside of the donor area. Of course, the hair must be buzzed to a very short length to notice it. How is your donor density doing compared to how it was pre-HT? Any noticeable differences? Thanks, Z.

Regular Member RockZ Posted July 27, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sorry for the delay. It's been several months since I've made an update. I can understand that after the result grows in some people may fall into the 'problem solved' status. After about a year here, however, my hair has definitely thickened even more and I am extraordinarily pleased with the results. I was looking at a picture when I was 21 about 8 or 9 years ago and my hair now looks so much thicker! Best of luck everyone and I will respond to all PM's if you message me. I am happy to help.
