Regenera Activa for Hair

Your doctor injects local anaesthetic prior to Regenera Activa procedures. The process is quick and involves a small number of injections into the thinning area. Apart from the fleeting discomfort of the injections, there is minimal pain. Unlike a traditional surgical hair transplant, the procedure is predominately non-invasive.

As such, there is minimal risk of scarring from where the tissue sample is taken. In addition, because the treatment uses cells from your own scalp, there is no risk of allergic reactions.

Regenera Activa treatments works best for early, mild or moderate forms of the hereditary condition known as “androgenic alopecia”. This is most commonly referred to as “male pattern baldness” and “female pattern baldness”.

Yes, Regenera Activa treatments are different to surgical hair transplants. Surgical hair transplants are an invasive procedure. They involve many hair grafts being removed from the back of a patient’s head, and then “transplanted” by a surgeon to areas of hair loss. These procedures are very effective for tackling larger areas of baldness and can deliver great results in many patients. However, they are expensive treatments, and they can leave scarring and require significant downtime. By contrast, Regenera Activa is a minimally invasive procedure, in which only a tiny tissue sample is taken from the patient’s scalp. From this, the doctor harvests regenerative stem cells, which are then mixed in a solution and carefully injected into your scalp where thinning is occurring. This process helps to create new hair growth and thicken existing hair. Downtime is virtually nil.

Regenera Activa treatments can be considered as an alternative to surgical hair transplant procedures, or to support surgical hair transplants. It all depends on your own situation, needs and goals. Regenera Activa can be very effective for cases of mild to moderate thinning, but it is not suitable for areas where advanced baldness has occurred.

Regenera Activa is an autologous procedure, which means it uses tissue samples and stem cells taken from a patient’s own body. That means the chances of side-effects are very unlikely!

Regenera Activa sessions usually take around 30 minutes, although it can vary. Your doctor will advise you on how long your session is likely to take.

It is likely that repeat sessions of Regenera Activa will be required to maintain results. We currently recommend repeat sessions from between two to six years, although this can vary between individuals and depends on your own circumstances and response to the treatment. Your doctor will assess your progress with free follow-up appointments.

No, Regenera Activa is not a cure for baldness. It cannot magically give you a new head of hair. However, it can be used to slow and even halt hair loss in points of thinning, and create new hair growth. It can also be used in conjunction with other treatments and approved hair loss medications in order to optimise results.

Micro-grafting Regenera Activa is suitable for early, mild and moderate forms of male and female pattern baldness. It will not magically give you a whole new head of hair in instances where there is more advanced “baldness” (large areas where the hair follicles are not working). It is also vital to note that everyone is different and results vary between individuals. Indeed,  DNA TrichoTest™ is a fantastic place to begin in establishing the treatments that will best work for you when tackling hair loss.

Hair Micro-grafting with Regenera Activa can be very effective when used in conjunction with approved hair loss medications, such as finasteride and minoxidil, or to support surgical hair transplants. You may even consider the treatment as an alternative to either, depending on your own situation.

At Vie Aesthetics, we also offer the ground-breaking DNA TrichoTest™ for helping you create the ultimate personalised treatment plan. This ground-breaking genetic testing analyses your DNA and lifestyle factors to identify your hair loss. With insight to your vulnerability to hair loss, we can then establish the treatments that will be most effective for you.

Typically, at Vie Aeshtetics we create personalised treatment plans and we combine Regenera Activa with other supporting treatments, including carboxytherapy and LED light therapy,  WOW Fusion for Hair by VieDerma, IV infusions that target hair loss, HairGen Laser home care devices, and topical medical hair loss products to give you the best possible outcome.

The results from micrographting with Regenera Activa are long-lasting and the procedure and we an  repeate it as often as you wish. Most clients have repeat sessions every two to six years depending on their own needs and the extent of their hair loss.  Regenera Activa treatments are suitable for both men and women, but is specifically used for treating male and female pattern baldness.
