Hair Regrowth — Regeneration, Not Just Retention

A programme aimed at reactivating miniaturised-but-living follicles rather than only slowing loss: autologous micrografts (Regenera Activa) supply regenerative cells, fractional laser stimulates follicle activity, and medical therapy addresses the androgen driver. The arms are sequenced by your stage.

A transplant relocates follicles into zones that are already bald; regeneration stimulates follicles that still exist but are miniaturising. They answer different stages — and an honest assessment tells you which conversation you are actually in.

Millimetre-scale punch grafts are taken from the back of your own scalp — the zone resistant to androgenetic loss — processed chairside into a cell-rich suspension, and delivered into thinning areas in the same session. It is autologous: nothing is used but your own tissue.

Fractional laser stimulation has a growing literature, and Dr Sin Yong published his 1540 nm erbium-glass protocol for androgenetic alopecia in PRIME Journal (2023). It is a genuine option — particularly for patients unsuited to long-term medication — within a staged protocol, not a magic wand.

That is a staging question. If your thinning zones still show miniaturised hairs on trichoscopy, the window is open. If a zone is smooth and shiny, follicles there are gone and regeneration cannot recreate them — you will be told so directly.

Yes — female pattern loss (Ludwig staging) is a core indication, and diffuse female thinning often responds well to the micrograft-plus-stimulation approach. Women are also screened for thyroid, iron and hormonal drivers before any protocol starts.

Often, yes — regeneration works best on a scalp where the androgen driver is controlled, and medication remains the evidence-backed background for most male protocols. Who should and should not take it is discussed honestly, and laser-led protocols exist for those who cannot.

Platelet-rich plasma is a recognised regenerative adjunct. Where it fits a case it can be incorporated — but in this practice the core regenerative arm is autologous micrografting, which delivers cellular material rather than plasma alone.

The donor site is anaesthetised for the punch harvest; most patients describe pressure rather than pain, and normal activity typically resumes the next day. Specifics for your case are covered at consultation.

Hair operates in months, not weeks — follicle cycles are long, and reviews are scheduled around trichoscopic reassessment rather than daily mirror checks. Timelines for your stage are set honestly at assessment.

No. Topical exosomes and polynucleotide injections can support a protocol, but the evidence does not support them as standalone cures — and this page will not sell them to you as one.

It depends on which arms your protocol uses and over what period. Costs are set out transparently at consultation — numbers quoted before staging would be meaningless.
