Stem cell banking is a quick, non-invasive process involving the harvesting of 50 intact hair follicles from the scalp. The stem cells within these follicles contain your own valuable stem cells, which undergo viability analysis and cryopreservation at -196°C in Acorn’s biobank.
Storage enables you to quickly access your stem cells for emerging regenerative therapies.
Secretomes are a specialized and cutting-edge bioactive blend of exosomes, growth factors, and stem cell-secreted proteins derived autologously from your very own harvested hair follicle stem cells.
Secretomes are produced from your very own banked stem cells to create a personalized topical regenerative treatment which we administer alongside microneedling. Secretosomes contain 2-34 times more bioactive components than platelet-rich plasma (PRP), including growth factors that outperform exosomes alone with their broader active profile, all without the need for live stem cells.
By minimizing rejection risks by using your own cells, you can target hair thinning through pathways not normally available (such as WNT/ β-catenin), which promote follicle regeneration and anagen phase transition. Studies on stem cell derived secretomes show increases in hair density, thickness, and growth by boosting dermal papilla proliferation and vascularization.
Proactive, natural, futureproofing — visible regrowth in just 90 days.
Secretomes provide broader regenerative effects than exosome treatment alone due to their comprehensive and robust mix of bioactive molecules.
Secretomes encompass exosomes plus additional growth factors, cytokines, peptides, and proteins, all of which play distinct and proactive roles in hair follicle regeneration and growth. In comparison, exosomes focus narrowly on targeted cell signalling via vesicles. Secretomes offer superior inflammation reduction, circulation improvement, and hair growth outcomes.
After receipt at the clinic, it takes a maximum of 60 days to prepare your secretome treatment.
