What Is ACORN Stem Cell Banking?

ACORN is a regenerative platform that collects stem cell–rich hair follicles from the scalp and cryopreserves them for future use. These preserved cells remain viable long term, creating a biologic resource that can later be used to formulate patient-specific growth factor–rich preparations. Because these materials come from your own follicles, they offer a consistent and biocompatible option for future treatments.

Benefits of ACORN Stem Cell Banking

Long-term preservation of regenerative cells: Storing cells at their healthiest ensures stronger material for future use.
Personalized biologic formulations: Your cells can later be processed into targeted preparations that support regenerative treatments.
Enhanced post-procedure support: Regenerative preparations derived from stored cells may help improve recovery quality.
Versatile clinical applications: Banked cells can be used to support skin quality, healing responses, and hair-focused therapies.
Fully autologous safety profile: Your own cells minimize the risk of sensitivity or reaction.
Support for future treatment planning: ACORN creates access to biologically aligned options as regenerative therapies evolve.

Am I a Good Candidate for ACORN Preservation?

ACORN is often recommended for adults who want to preserve strong regenerative cells for future use or who plan to undergo procedures where biologic support may be beneficial. Candidates may include patients who value long-term skin quality, individuals preparing for aesthetic treatments that involve healing phases, and those who want a biologic resource they can return to over time. Banking at a younger age may capture more robust cellular material, though many adults can qualify.

What to Expect During ACORN Collection

Collection involves gently removing a small number of follicles from a discreet scalp area. The process is brief and designed to preserve follicle integrity. After collection, follicles are sent to ACORN’s laboratory for analysis and cryopreservation. Patients can return to normal activities immediately.
