The treatment
What is stem cell hair & scalp regeneration?
This program delivers stem cell–derived factors (exosome and conditioned-media boosters) by micro-injection or microneedling to signal follicles, calm inflammation and support a healthier scalp environment.
When useful, it is combined with PRP, low-level light therapy and targeted nutrition for stronger, longer-lasting results. For diffuse thinning, see also Hair Density & Scalp Vitality.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
When will I see results?
Shedding often settles within 4–8 weeks. Thickness and volume are reviewed at 12–16 weeks.
Is it painful?
Topical or local anaesthesia is used, so most patients find it comfortable.
Can it replace a hair transplant?
Not for advanced loss. It can delay the need for one, prepare the scalp, and support grafts afterwards.
Do I need blood tests?
They are optional but helpful, as low iron, vitamin D or thyroid problems can drive shedding.
How often is maintenance?
Usually every 3–6 months after the initial series.
