What Is ACRS Therapy for Hair?
Autologous Cytokine Rich Serum (ACRS) Therapy is a treatment that uses a serum derived from your own blood. This serum is rich in cytokines, which helps stimulate hair follicle activity and promotes hair regrowth.
Cytokines are proteins that can help with controlling and reducing inflammation in your body. By improving scalp health, it creates a favourable environment for hair growth.
This treatment works with your body’s natural healing power as the serum comes directly from you. The blood-derived serum that is drawn from your own blood, will be reintroduced to you, making it less complicated for your body to accept and respond. With this approach, ACRS therapy promotes healthier, stronger hair growth naturally.
How It Works
ACRS Therapy would begin by drawing a small amount of your own blood as needed. The blood will be transferred into a tube for incubation at 37℃ for up to 3 hours. Blood cell components including platelets adhere easily to artificial surfaces such as glass and polymers; this theory results in an advanced technology being utilized to extract anti-inflammatory cytokines and large amounts of growth factors efficiently by using glass beads (developed in Germany). The glass beads absorb platelets, hence releasing the growth factors like cytokines. Moreover, 3 hours of incubation boosts the amount of cytokines by 4.5 times and proliferates to about 5 times the blood concentration.
The extracted blood will be further filtered to discard any remaining platelets and other blood cell components in order to obtain the pure concentration of cytokines and other growth factors. Centrifugation will also be done to ensure the quality of the serum for the treatment.
The serum will then be injected into your scalp, targeting the areas where hair thinning or loss occurs. Using microneedling, the serum will be delivered deeply into the scalp for better absorption. With minimal downtime, ACRS therapy is a gentle and effective solution for hair restoration.

Difference Between ACRS and PRP Therapy
The main difference between ACRS and PRP is that ACRS does not contain additional substances such as anticoagulants, which makes it completely autologous. PRP is known as platelet-rich plasma, it is rich in thrombocyte cells with benefits for the secretion of growth factors; whereas ACRS is known as platelet-poor solution, but is rich in growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
