The treatment

What is the hair density & scalp vitality program?

The program pairs stem cell–derived signalling factors (exosome and conditioned-media boosters) with micro-injection or microneedling to stimulate follicles, calm scalp inflammation and improve microcirculation.

It suits a non-surgical hair restoration plan, or the period before or after a transplant. For pattern hair loss and scalp concerns in more depth, see Hair & Scalp Regeneration.
