What Is Acorn Used For?
Acorn is primarily used for:
- Hair loss and thinning hair
- Scalp rejuvenation
- Hair restoration support
- Post-treatment recovery
- Regenerative aesthetic treatment planning
How Does Acorn Work?
Acorn’s process begins with the collection of intact hair follicles. According to Acorn, a trained practitioner collects approximately 50 follicles through a quick, non-invasive procedure that takes about 30 minutes.
These follicles contain regenerative cells that can be preserved and used to create personalized regenerative treatments.
For hair restoration, Acorn’s YOU™ Secretome is designed to support hair renewal at the cellular level using regenerative molecules derived from the patient’s own stem cells.
Prior to Treatment
During your consultation, the WDC team will evaluate your scalp, review your goals, and determine whether Acorn is appropriate for your hair restoration plan. Your provider may also discuss whether Acorn should be paired with PRP or other hair loss treatments.
During Treatment
Treatment details may vary based on your personalized plan. The Acorn process may include hair follicle collection, personalized biologic preparation, and a series of in-office treatments designed to support the scalp and hair follicles.
After Treatment & Results
Results vary by patient. Because regenerative hair treatments work gradually, patients may need a series of treatments and ongoing maintenance to see optimal improvement.
Typical investment:
5–6 treatments: $4,500
