Our doctor will inject 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.

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.

Micro-grafting Regenera Activa is suitable for early, mild to severe 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 Dr Russo Skin Expert 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, we create personalised treatment plans and we combine Regenera Activa with other supporting treatments, including PRP and LED light therapy and topical medical hair loss products to give you the best possible outcome.

Only one session is required.
The results from micrographting with Regenera Activa are long-lasting and the procedure can be repeated as often as you wish. Most clients have repeat sessions every one to two 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.

At Dr Russo Skin Expert we offer a complete hair regeneration programme with Regenera Activa procedures. We combine it with diagnostics like DNA TrichoTest™, topical actives, nutritionals, LED Light Therapy, and PRP , in order to help optimise your outcome.
