Hair Restoration Using Procell Pure Stem Cells: What Are the Advantages?
What is Procell? And how does it work, when used as a part of your stem cell microneedling treatment for hair restoration? Procell pure stem cells are packed full of growth factors. So, they can do more to help encourage hair regrowth than undergoing a standard microneedling treatment.
These growth factors include:
-
Cytokines
-
TGF-β3
-
Protective antioxidants
-
Potent peptides
Procell makes use of conditioned media, sourced from stem cells in human bone marrow culture. Specifically, these cells are known as BM-MSCs. These cells play a vital role in the body’s healing processes, throughout our lives. However, as we age, our production of BM-MSCs begins to decrease. The BM-MSCs found in Procell are sourced from young, healthy volunteers, who undergo heavy medical moderation, during the process. These stem cells are then kept in FDA-regulated facilities, where they can grow and be processed.
Essentially, the use of Procell pure stem cells ensures an even more powerful effect on hair growth, thanks to the additional growth factors.

What to Expect During Your Procell Microneedling Treatment
During your stem cell microneedling session, your scalp will come into direct contact with needles, which are attached to a roller. These needles are very small and very fine. The roller is worked along the scalp, right at the site of the hair loss. The needles will then create tiny injuries to the scalp area.
Prior to the treatment, expect your provider to apply a topical anesthetic, directly onto your scalp. This is done to help reduce any pain, given the nature of the treatment. Depending on how large the treatment area is, the length of the treatment can vary. Still, stem cell microneedling is generally a fast treatment — in most cases, it will take less than ten to fifteen minutes. After that, you’re done! It’s as simple and easy as that.
Following your stem cell microneedling treatment, you might see some bruising, redness, or swelling on the affected area of the scalp. There may also be a small amount of pain, following the procedure. However, most side effects of a microneedling procedure will fade within around five days of the treatment. Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure, so there’s no need to pause your daily life in order to recover.

Top 3 Advantages of Hair Restoration Using Stem Cell Microneedling
As a non-surgical treatment option for hair loss, stem cell microneedling comes with a variety of advantages over surgical hair restoration treatments.
These include:
1. Many Different People Can Benefit From Microneedling
Non-Surgical hair restoration options, such as stem cell microneedling, are suitable for a variety of people and hair loss situations. Both men and women can make use of microneedling treatment. In addition, stem cell microneedling doesn’t require a certain amount of hair loss to be effective. The procedure can be performed on both mild and more substantial hair loss — individuals in either of these groups have the potential to see benefits following their treatment.
2. Faster Results
There will likely be a quicker outcome, compared to surgical hair restoration options. When you opt for a more invasive surgical procedure for hair loss, it may be a while before you’re able to see significant results. Plus, procedures such as stem cell microneedling typically charge a lower upfront fee, compared to surgical procedures. This means less financial stress, and less time spent saving money to receive surgery or a hair transplant.
3. Less Pain, Discomfort, and Recovery
Far less pain and healing time are required, in cases of non-surgical hair restoration procedures. It’s a well-known fact that surgery and invasive procedures are painful, and they require an amount of time spent in recovery. Recovery from surgery can be highly disruptive to a person’s daily life, and the issues with pain don’t make the situation any more manageable. While stem cell microneedling does feature a limited amount of pain (we are dealing with needles, after all), it’s minor and highly temporary. You won’t even need to spend time in recovery or deal with lingering discomfort for more than a few days.
Stem Cell Hair Regrowth Results: What to Expect
Like any hair restoration treatment, different people will see different outcomes. In some cases, the stem cell microneedling treatment will be more effective than in others.
Also, as with any treatment of this nature, you probably won’t know how your body responds until you’ve tried it yourself. Still, when it comes to procedures with as much promise as stem cell microneedling, your chances of a positive outcome are favorable.
How Many Stem Cell Treatments Do I Need?
Note that most stem cell therapy requires 3 treatments 4–6 weeks apart when first starting out. However, the actual number of treatments needed varies per patient.
​
The Cost of Stem Cell Microneedling Treatment
Compared to surgical hair restoration options, stem cell microneedling is truly a bargain. For instance, if you’ve ever considered a hair transplant, you may have been disheartened during your research. After all, while this surgical procedure is popular and effective, it comes at a very high price. Depending on where you receive your hair transplant, you can expect to pay several thousand dollars. In some cases, you could expect to pay as much as $10,000 — and there are even $20,000 options out there.
For some people suffering from hair loss, whether minor or severe, the high cost of a surgical hair transplant may not be worth it. Maybe you’re bothered by your hair loss, but not to the extent that you’re willing to pay a large sum of money to correct the issue. Or maybe the cost is simply outside your budget, whether or not you’d be willing to hand over the money. This is a fantastic reason to consider a more affordable (but still effective) procedure, such as Procell pure stem cell microneedling. Microneedling procedures, in general, cost only a small fraction of what you’d pay for a surgical hair restoration procedure. At The Body Shoppe you’ll pay just $300 for a Procell pure stem cell treatment. Considering the incredible results people often see, this is a true steal. Plus, you won’t have to deal with the hassle and aftercare of a highly invasive surgical procedure, such as a hair transplant. It’s a wonderful option, no matter the severity of your hair loss.
Procedure
Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes.
Length
A numbing cream will be applied 10-15 minutes prior to your treatment. Then the stem cells are applied in sections and are needled into the skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there any post care for my treatment?
After your treatment apply the stem cell serum every 10-15 minutes until there is no serum left. Micro channels in your skin will remain open for a few hours following the treatment, so the serum will continue to penetrate the skin to enhance the production of new collagen and elastin in your skin. Be sure to drink lots of water to keep hydrated and to help flush toxins out of your body. Do not apply any products to your hair. A gentle shampoo may be used at bed time, avoid using any heavy conditioners. For best results apply the hair growth serum daily.
​
Are there any risks or side effects from my treatment?
Your health and well being will always be our first concern. When numbing wears off your skin, you may feel like you have a mild sunburn and exhibit a red glow. You may apply a cool compress such as an ice pack to relieve the burning (do not use creams or other topical medications). These side effects are generally resolved by the following morning. Longer needle lengths may continue to be red for an extra day, or may result potential pinprick scabbing (red dots). You can expect to return to normal within 2-3 days.
​
What will my recovery be like?
There is no recovery time associated with the ProCell Microneedling. You may return to work and your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
​
Do I need anesthesia for my treatment?
A mild topical anesthesia may be applied 10-20 minutes prior to your appointment.
