Acorn developed the world’s first stem cell platform designed to collect, preserve, and enhance the potential of hair follicle stem cells for regenerative treatments today and tomorrow.

We’re at the Beginning of an Anti-Aging Revolution

Acorn is at the forefront of this movement—helping people preserve their youngest, most potent cells for use in groundbreaking treatments.
