Hair Restoration in Columbia, MD
Hair loss is an experience that is familiar to many people, both men and women of all ages. It is estimated that close to 80% of adult men will have some type of hair loss by the age of 50. For women, 40% will have hair loss also by the age of 50. No matter your age if you are beginning to see hair loss, know that your current situation is not hopeless, as distressing or unsettling as it may feel. Many people form a unique sort of attachment to their hair, so loss of hair can almost feel like a small loss of identity. It is important to know that there are potential solutions or treatments to help.
Here at MD Optimal Health & Aesthetics we offer stem cell microchanneling treatments to help you regrow thinning hair by stimulating the natural hair growth cycle. Pair microchanneling with our medical-grade hair restoration supplements to add another layer of support, giving your body the nutrients it needs for optimal growth of thicker, healthier hair.

Procell is an advanced regenerative treatment system designed to rejuvenate the skin and scalp using the body’s own natural healing abilities. It combines precision microchanneling (similar to microneedling) with a powerful stem cell–based serum derived from bone marrow–mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs).
Procell’s stem cell serum is rich in regenerative compounds that go beyond what traditional microneedling can achieve. These include:
These cells help repair damaged tissue, stimulate new collagen, and activate dormant hair follicles. Originally developed for skin rejuvenation, Procell has become a leading non-surgical option for promoting hair regrowth, improving scalp health, and enhancing the effectiveness of other topical treatments—all with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Procell microchanneling stimulates the scalp’s natural healing process to encourage thicker, healthier hair growth.
The treatment creates thousands of controlled microchannels on the surface of the scalp, prompting the body to produce new collagen and increase blood circulation. This flood of oxygen and nutrients revitalizes hair follicles, helping them remain active and capable of creating new strands.
When the scalp lacks sufficient collagen, follicles may weaken or even become dormant, leading to thinning hair. Microchanneling reverses that process by activating stem cells within the follicle. Since hair follicles sit about one to two millimeters beneath the scalp’s surface, the microchannels also help topical medications, such minoxidil or serums, penetrate deeper, improving their effectiveness.
Procell microchanneling works by improving the health of the follicle itself, making it a versatile tool for those looking to improve the quality of their hair. We use this advanced technology to target:
Stem cell microchanneling with Procell offers a non-surgical alternative to hair transplants. Benefits include:
Procell hair restoration is an excellent option for men and women in the early to moderate stages of hair thinning. It is most effective when hair follicles are still present but have become dormant or are producing thinner, weaker hair. It is not a solution for complete baldness where the follicles have stopped functioning entirely. During your one-on-one consultation, Melissa will perform an honest assessment of your scalp. If she believes a different approach would serve you better, she will tell you. Her primary goal is to ensure you receive the care that will actually produce results.
Recovery from a Procell scalp treatment is simple. Your scalp may feel slightly tender or look a bit pink (similar to a mild sunburn) for about 24 hours. Melissa will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including avoiding hair products, hats, and strenuous exercise on the first day. Because the channels close so quickly, you can typically wash your hair and return to your usual styling routine within 24 to 48 hours. It is a seamless process that requires very little change to your daily schedule.
Hair restoration is a journey that requires patience, as hair grows in cycles. While some patients notice an improvement in hair texture and a reduction in shedding after just one or two sessions, the most significant results typically appear after a series of 5 to 6 treatments spaced two weeks apart. Over several months, you will likely see increased density, a fuller appearance in thinning areas, and hair that feels stronger and healthier. Melissa will track your milestones with you, ensuring your "recipe" for restoration is working as intended.

Procell’s proprietary formula contains conditioned media derived from bone marrow–based stem cells known as BM-MSCs. These particular stem cells are essential to tissue repair and regeneration throughout life. However, natural production of BM-MSCs declines with age. To restore these benefits, Procell sources young, healthy donor cells that are screened and processed in FDA-regulated facilities. The result is a serum densely packed with growth factors and signaling molecules that help rejuvenate the scalp and reactivate dormant follicles.
Most patients require between three and six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. The total number of treatments depends on the degree of hair loss and how well your scalp responds to therapy. Many individuals begin noticing new growth and improved thickness within the first few months.
A complete package of four Procell stem cell treatments—including the Regrowth Aftercare serum (a $150 value)—is priced at $1,600. For patients who prefer to start with a single session, individual treatments are available for $450 each.
