Senior Member buzzbee Posted December 8, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just reviving this topic as I've been using a saline/ATP spray for 10 days and I still have a few weeks supply left. I've been told by my surgeon Dr. Cooley that I can use this until it runs out. Has anyone else used this spray for longer than 10 days?

Thus, the need for ATP during hair restoration procedures is a very important consideration that makes the difference between a poor outcome and a good outcome. Why is ATP important in HRS? Simple, when the physician removes your hair follicles from your scalp they are immediately cut-off from the blood that was delivering oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle cells. During this ischemic period, the hair follicle cells begin to lose intracellular ATP, which if left uncorrected, results in death of the hair follicle cells. In many procedures, the ischemic time can exceed 4 hrs from removal to implantation, which results in significant loss of viable hair follicle cells. The end result of this outcome are either non-viable hair follicles or "shocked" follicles that may take months to a year to regrow a hair shaft. However, that is not the end of the story. When you go home from the transplant procedure, the implanted follicles are still without a source of blood flow and remain ischemic until angiogenesis (formation of blood vessels) is complete, which can be from 3-5 days. This period of ischemia also results in loss of viable hair follicle cells and invariably death of some implanted follicles. Cutting edge hair restoration surgeons are beginning to understand this as evidenced by the increasing adoption of graft holding solutions and post-operative treatment regimens that address ATP loss. Hello, I am looking for supply of liposome encapsulated ATP spray in India? Can you suggest me who can supply it from anywhere in the world. I will bear the transportation cost also. Kindly provide some reference for the same. Regards, Sagar N. India (+91-9820368001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
