Leroy’s Story
Hair Transplant Surgery, then ACell + PRP Injections
Leroy started noticing thinning areas in his mid-scalp and recession in his temples. It really bothered him that he could see through his hair. Already trying to prevent hair loss, he wanted to know the full scope of options available. He started his research by meeting with Dr. Robert Niedbalski of Northwest Hair Restoration for a consultation.
In 2005, Dr. Niedbalski performed a hair transplant surgery. Pleased with the results, Leroy has maintained his annual visits to check in with Dr. Niedbalski.
In 2014, Leroy was noticing some subtle changes to the density of his hair. Dr. Niedbalski recommended ACell + PRP injection therapy to thicken existing hair and protect it from future loss. Leroy was motivated to act before additional surgery was necessary.
At his 4-month follow-up after the ACell + PRP procedure, he’s already noticed increased density, especially in the crown area.

Dan’s Story
Hair Transplant Surgery, then ACell + PRP Injections
Dan started losing his hair in his late 20s and into his early 30s. He was able to slow the progression somewhat with Rogaine, but by the time he reached the age of 40, it was becoming a real issue and was greatly affecting his self-esteem. He wasn’t excited about the prospect of just shaving his head, so, at age 42, he made the decision to have hair transplant surgery.
Dan was very pleased with the results of the initial surgery. Predisposed to genetic hair loss, he continued to gradually lose hair over the years. At age 50, he felt it was time to get another transplant. After researching new techniques since his last procedure, he became extremely interested in adding ACell + PRP to his hair transplant procedure and sought out Dr. Niedbalski to learn more about it.
To Dan’s eye, the thinning area on top of his scalp looked like a stripe. His goal was to eliminate this stripe and the ability to see through his hair. So, he asked the doctor to fill in the area from his hairline through the crown.
Eight months after his second surgical restoration, Dan came for a follow-up. He was so pleased with the results that he decided he was ready to address some subtle adjustments to his hairline and make one final push for maximum density. A third and final transplant procedure was performed to achieve these goals, and Dan is now looking forward to growing his hair out in his retirement.
