Which Areas Of The Scalp Are Treated (all Over, Only Thinning Spots, Hairline)?

The treatment approach for Acell+PRP Hair Treatment in dubai UAE is carefully tailored to optimize the regenerative impact while preserving the premium resources. It is not typically administered to the entire scalp but rather focuses on areas where hair follicles are undergoing miniaturization and can still be salvaged.

The treatment primarily targets thinning areas and the hairline, avoiding regions with healthy, dense hair and those with long-standing, complete baldness.

Key Focus: Miniaturized and Thinning Areas
The core objective of Acell+PRP is to reverse the process of follicle miniaturization. Therefore, the treated areas are those displaying hair loss but still housing a viable population of living hair follicles.

1. The Crown (Vertex) and Mid-Scalp
These areas are often the main concern for individuals experiencing male and female pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia).

Male Pattern: The crown, located at the back of the head, is a crucial target if thinning is evident in this region.

Female Pattern: Women commonly exhibit diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp and the crown. The treatment is methodically applied across this entire thinning area to enhance overall density and hair thickness.

How it Works: These regions are typically where follicles are most sensitive to DHT, causing them to shrink. The infusion of Acell+PRP provides the necessary growth factors and structural support to revive these dormant follicles and push them back into the active growth phase.

2. The Hairline and Temples
The frontal hairline is vital for aesthetic framing, making it a priority area, especially for men experiencing recession.

Receding Hairline: The Acell+PRP solution is injected along the receding line and into the temples where miniaturization is noticeable. The aim is to strengthen the existing, weak hairs along the hairline to increase their thickness, density, and resilience against further recession.

Frontal Thinning: For individuals with general thinning just behind the hairline, the injections extend into this frontal zone to enhance overall density and conceal the scalp.

Areas Typically Excluded or Treated Differently
The procedure is not applied uniformly across the entire scalp as the valuable Acell matrix is best utilized where it can yield the most significant regenerative benefits.

1. Areas of Dense, Healthy Hair (The Donor Zone)
The sides and back of the scalp, known as the traditional "donor area" for hair transplants, are usually left untreated.

Rationale: Hair in these regions is genetically resistant to the miniaturizing effects of DHT. The follicles already produce healthy, thick hair, and injecting the costly regenerative solution here offers minimal additional benefit. Preserving the Acell+PRP for the vulnerable areas is the most cost-effective and results-driven approach.

2. Areas of Complete, Long-Term Baldness
Regions that have been completely bald, smooth, and devoid of hair for an extended period are generally avoided.

Rationale: In these zones, the hair follicles are not just dormant but likely dead and replaced by scar tissue (fibrosis). Acell+PRP is a regenerative therapy effective on living, but compromised, follicles—it cannot revive dead ones or generate entirely new follicles from non-hair-bearing tissue. Attempting to treat these areas often yields minimal benefit.

Specific Application Scenarios
The exact injection pattern is customized based on the patient's specific diagnosis, utilizing classifications like the Norwood or Ludwig scale.

Scenario A: Female Pattern Hair Loss (Diffuse)
Focus: Injections are systematically administered in a grid pattern, covering the entire thinning area from the crown forward to ensure consistent delivery of Acell+PRP for uniform density across the scalp's top.

Scenario B: Early Male Pattern Hair Loss (Recession)
Focus: Injections are concentrated along the frontal hairline and temples, with additional attention to the crown if miniaturization is present there. The denser areas of the head are left untreated.

Scenario C: Post-Hair Transplant Enhancement
Focus: Acell+PRP is commonly injected into the recipient area where new grafts were placed to enhance graft survival. Crucially, it is also injected into the native hair surrounding the transplanted grafts to fortify existing hairs, prevent "shock loss," and maintain overall density.

The Injection Technique
To ensure effective distribution of the Acell+PRP solution across the thinning areas, the physician performs a series of precise micro-injections.

Grid Pattern: The solution is injected in small, consistent micro-droplets spaced approximately 1 cm apart across the target area.

Depth: The injections are precisely targeted to a depth of 2 to 4 mm (the dermal layer) to position the long-lasting Acell scaffold adjacent to the hair follicle stem cells.

The tailored application strategy is crucial to the procedure's high success rate. By focusing solely on areas with viable follicles capable of regeneration, the treatment maximizes the thickening of existing hair and optimizes
