About this treatment
What it does
Medical and regenerative treatment for shedding and thinning, aimed at holding the hair you still have while regrowing what recently went.
How it works
Growth factors, micro-injections and medical therapy work on the follicle's cycle — prolonging the growth phase and reversing miniaturisation. Follicles that have been dormant for years do not come back, which is why timing matters.
What to expect
Reduced shedding by 6–8 weeks, visible density from 3–4 months. Downtime: none. scalp tenderness for a day.. Typically 4 monthly sessions, then maintenance every 3–4 months.
Looking after it
No hair wash for 24 hours. No colouring or chemical treatments for a week. Blood tests before starting — shedding usually has a cause worth finding.
