Regenera Activa (also called Rigenera Activa) is a non-surgical treatment that can help slow down hair loss, improve hair density and even trigger new growth on your scalp in areas where you are thinning. Regenera Activa, is a popular treatment of choice at Vie Aesthetics in London and Essex to combat hair thinning and early-stage hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). During the Regenera Activa micrografting procedure we use your own regenerative cells to revitalise your hair follicles and promote new hair growth. As with all treatments, results can vary between individuals.
Regenera Activa is a regenerative treatment in the sense that it uses your body’s own ability to regenerate. It is also an autologous process, which means it uses the body’s own resources. During this minimally invasive procedure, our doctors use micrografting with regenerative cells from your own healthy hair.
The treatment involves a three-step process:
Cell Processing: The sample is processed using the regenera Activa technology to isolate and harvest regenerative cells, including progenitor cells and growth factors.
Scalp Injection: The concentrated solution of regenerative cells is injected into areas experiencing hair thinning or loss, to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote natural hair growth.
Regenera Activa is a revolution in hairloss treatments that uses your body’s own cells, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic applied to the donor area
Downtime: Minimal; resume daily activities immediately
Sessions Required: Typically one session; follow-up treatments may be recommended based on individual response
Regenera Activa activates follicles that are nearing the end-phase of their life (known as miniaturised hairs – the small, fine hairs you see (or you do not see) in hair thinning. It also encourages the growth of new hair. Any previously dying follicles can once again become healthy and over time start producing denser and thicker hair as your hair cycle returns tos most effective for individuals who:
Are in the early to moderate stages of androgenetic alopecia.
Seek a non-invasive alternative of hair transplant surgery.
Wish to enhance the results of previous hair restoration procedures.
Prefer treatments utilising natural, autologous methods.
Please not that it is not recommended for individuals with advanced baldness or those with active scalp infections.

With a track record of over 800 procedures performed with amazing results, Vie Aesthetics and our VieStem Hair protocol being featured in numerous publications, including The Daily Mail and The Sun. Our expert team have used their experience and expertise to fine-tune and perfect diagnostics using photo analysis, blood and DNA testing. At Vie Aesthetics, you have access to a 360 degrees bespoke protocol, based on evidence and using the latest additional modalities like LED Light Therapy, Carboxy Therapy, Microneedling with Dermapen and special medications to support and enhance the results of Regenera Activa.
Our clients have been reporting positive results, expressing their gratitude for having been able to slow down hairloss and, indeed, reverse it. And what is even more rewarding for us, many have been telling us about the significant impact on their self-esteem and their lives. Have a read of our client Chris’ own words on how Regenera Activa changed his life. A large number of our clients follow up with a maintance programme for sustained results for years after.
This process not only activates follicles that are nearing the end-phase of their life (known as miniaturised hairs – the small, fine hairs you see (or you do not see) in hair thinning. It also encourages the growth of new hair. Any previously dying follicles can once again become healthy and over time start producing denser and thicker hair as your hair cycle returns to normal.
Regenera Activa sessions can vary in numbers, depending on the individual needs. Note that we also combine this to create a package and complete programs with supporting treatments including carboxytherapy and LED light therapy to encourage growth and to optimise your results.
The DNA TrichoTest™ can also help you create the ultimate personalised treatment plan for your hair loss.
The whole process promotes the growth of new hair follicles with the first results showing within four to seven months. As with traditional surgical hair transplants, and such is the way with the human hair cycle (it is a slow process), any new hairs mature and thicken across the months from which they first appear. However, some clinical observations have shown improvements in hair count and scalp coverage after just six to eight weeks. Indeed, since we introduced the treatment, a number of clients reported thicker, healthier hair in a similar period.
The DNA TrichoTest™ can also help you create the ultimate personalised treatment plan for your hair loss.
Unlike traditional surgical hair transplants, which involve taking large grafts from the back of your head, Micro-Transplantation with Regenera Activa has zero downtime. You can return to your daily activities straight away, but we do not recommend any streneous physical activity for 48 hours.
The technique is a one-off-session, and is safe and completely natural. In fact, Regenera Activa treatments usually only last around 30 minutes.
The DNA TrichoTest™ can also help you create the ultimate personalised treatment plan for your hair loss.
Regenera Activa is suitable for early, mild or moderate forms of the hereditary condition known as “androgenic alopecia”. Most people refer to it as male and female pattern baldness. During your consultation, our doctor will do an analysis of your area of concern, take a history and will be able to advise you if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
At Vie Aesthetics Essex and London, we also offer the diagnostic option of The DNA Trichotest, which has been specifically developed to analyse the causes and predispositions of hair loss and to indicate what types of therapies, treatments and medications will be of benefit. This allows our doctors to give you targetted advice and to create personalised 360 degree VieStem Hair treatment protocols.

The 4 cornerstones of the VieStem Hair system are
Please follow these guidelines before your treatment to prepare your scalp and body:
1. 7 days before:
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin) unless prescribed.
Refrain from corticosteroid treatments for the scalp.
Discontinue use of hair growth serums or topical minoxidil unless advised otherwise.
2. 3–5 days before:
Avoid alcohol and smoking. These reduce blood flow and healing potential.
Eat a balanced diet and stay well-hydrated.
3. 24–48 hours before:
Wash your hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo.
Do not apply hair products (e.g. gels, oils, sprays) on the day of treatment.
Avoid exposure to strong sunlight or sunbeds on the scalp.
4. On the day:
Have a light meal beforehand.
Arrive with clean, dry hair and no scalp irritation.
Inform your practitioner if you feel unwell or have any scalp infections.
Proper aftercare helps ensure optimal results and comfort. Follow these instructions carefully:
Immediately after treatment:
Your scalp may feel tender or appear slightly red. This is normal and settles within 24–48 hours.
Avoid touching or scratching the treated area.
For the first 24–48 hours:
Do not wash your hair or apply any hair/scalp products.
Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, saunas, and swimming.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.
From day 3 onward:
You can resume gentle hair washing with a mild shampoo.
Avoid harsh scalp treatments (dyes, bleaches, chemical treatments) for at least 10–14 days.
Resume hair styling products only after your practitioner gives the go-ahead.
General care for the next 4–6 weeks:
Avoid direct sun exposure to the scalp. Wear a loose hat if needed.
Use any recommended supplements or topical treatments as advised.
Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support follicle health.
Yes. Regenera Activa is suitable for both men and women experiencing androgenetic alopecia or general hair thinning. Results can vary slightly depending on hormonal and genetic factors, but many women report improvements in hair density and scalp health.
Both use autologous (your own) material, but Regenera Activa extracts regenerative cells directly from scalp tissue, which includes progenitor cells and growth factors. This may offer longer-lasting stimulation than PRP, which relies primarily on platelets.
Yes. It can be combined with topical solutions, oral medication (like minoxidil or finasteride), microneedling, or LED therapy to enhance results. Always consult your doctor to tailor your treatment plan.
There’s no strict seasonal requirement, but starting treatment in the cooler months may help avoid sun exposure during recovery and align with natural seasonal hair shedding patterns, optimising visible results.
Regenera Activa is primarily effective for androgenetic alopecia. Results for other types of hair loss, like traction or scarring alopecia, are more limited and should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Regenera Activa can complement hair transplant results. It’s typically recommended at least 6 months post-transplant to support graft survival and stimulate surrounding follicles.
Yes, but wait at least 10–14 days post-procedure. This allows the scalp to heal fully and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
Smoking, poor nutrition, unmanaged stress, and hormone imbalances can all impair hair regrowth. Supporting your body with a healthy lifestyle can significantly enhance your outcome.
While it can slow or stabilise loss for many clients, especially when used early, ongoing maintenance and lifestyle management may be required to prevent regression over time.
Yes. Hair texture does not impact suitability, as the treatment works at the follicle level. However, assessment of scalp health is key to determine candidacy.
We also offer interest free finance on treatments above £280 and on selected packages.
