Autologous Cellular Micrografts ACM India

Procedure and clinical rationale

ACM involves collecting small skin samples, processing them to obtain micrografts rich in progenitor cells and growth factors, then injecting these into areas with reduced follicle activity. Using a patient's own cells can reduce compatibility risks. Studies report potential short-term improvement in some cases of androgenetic alopecia. Sessions usually take less than an hour, with cycles spaced weeks apart based on response.

• Tissue collected from scalp or another donor site.
• Micrografts prepared with sterile specialised equipment.
• Placement into thinning areas to provide regenerative signals.
• Session timing depends on hair loss stage and scalp condition.
• Combination with PRP, GFC, or SVF may be considered.

After treatment, patients should avoid vigorous scalp manipulation for 24 hours and follow any medication plan provided.

Treatment combinations offered in India

At Alloroots, ACM can be integrated with other hair restoration methods. Surgical choices include Female Hair Transplant and Hair Transplant Repair & Correction. Non-surgical options may include:

• GFC therapy for concentrated growth factors.
• SVF therapy using stromal vascular fraction cells.
• Exosome therapy to support regenerative signalling.
• Microneedling for improved scalp absorption.
• Scalp micropigmentation for visual density.

Selection is based on clinical evaluation, hair loss stage, and personal priorities. Planning combinations early can align procedures with recovery timelines.

Candidate suitability

ACM may suit men and women with early to moderate androgenetic alopecia, those preparing for or recovering from hair transplant, and those seeking autologous regenerative care. Eligibility is confirmed through trichoscopic assessment and medical history review with Dr. Sahoo. Outcome expectations are discussed privately, with images taken only with consent.

Some use ACM between medical treatments and surgery to preserve hair and support transplant results. Nutrition, scalp hygiene, and lifestyle factors are part of the care plan.

Operational note: Alloroots offers advance booking for weekday and Saturday ACM sessions. Bring prior hair loss treatment records and details of current medications to your appointment.
