PRP Platelet Rich Plasma & Microneedling
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is not new; it has long been recognized for it’s accelerated wound healing properties in such applications as surgery and sports injuries. It is a natural treatment that uses your own cells for tissue renewal and repair.
This technology is now being used for hair regrowth and treating hair loss. PRP is a bio active stimulator using cells derived from your own blood, these are then re-injected or needled into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
We also offer the PRP Plus Mesotherapy Treatment. This is when PRP is combined withHair Growth Exosomes (that are delivered into the scalp by Exomides) a blend of Peptides (Copper Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4) Growth Factors (EGF, VEGF, HGF, bFGF, TGF-β1, KGF and PDGF Growth Factor), Hyaluronic Acid and other nutrients that are then injected into the scalp (Mesotherapy) to maximize potential Hair Growth.

Exosomes Mesotherapy
Hair Growth Exosomes that are delivered into the scalp by Exomides, represent a revolutionary advancement in the field of regenerative medicine, offering a promising solution to hair loss and promoting hair regrowth.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by cells that contain a potent cargo of growth factors, proteins, and nucleic acids. When applied to the scalp by way of Mesotherapy or multiple small injections hair growth exosomes stimulate the proliferation of hair follicle cells, enhance tissue regeneration, and promote a healthier scalp environment conducive to robust hair growth.
Hair Growth Exosomes contain growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), which play key roles in stimulating hair follicle growth and angiogenesis. By delivering these bioactive molecules directly to the scalp, exosomes promote the proliferation of hair follicle cells, prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, and induce the formation of new blood vessels to support hair growth.
Please refer to Exosomes/Exomide Hair Growth Data Information supplied for evidence based studies of Hair Growth Outcomes.

PepFactor Hair & Microneedling
PepFactor is a proprietary blend of peptides and nutrients that may be beneficial to hair growth and hair health.
PepFactor uses peptides that encourage the signalling protein that stimulates the growth and regeneration of new tissues in the hair and scalp.
PepFactor Hair is a procedure in which multiple tiny injections of PepFactor Hair are delivered into the mesodermal layer of tissue under the skin of the scalp.
PepFactor Hair may promote papilla cell proliferation and an increase in the size of the hair follicle, whilst also stimulating hair by inducing the Anagen phase or the active phase of the hair follicle cycle.
This is done by stimulating those proteins that promote the migration of hair follicles from dormant stages of the hair cycle to the active phase. More Information.
Please refer to PepFactor Data Information supplied for evidence based studies of PepFactor Outcomes.

Regenera Activa Scalp Micrografts Using Your Own Stem Cells & Growth Factors
Regenera Activa leverages the power of our own scalp micrografts to activate and rejuvenate dormant hair follicles. This treatment begins with the extraction of a small skin tissue sample from the patient's scalp, typically from the back of the head.
This area is chosen because it usually remains unaffected by androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss, which predominantly affects the front and top of the scalp.
The collected tissue contains stem cells and growth factors essential for hair follicle health and regeneration. The tissue sample is then processed using a specialized device that isolates these regenerative cells. The resulting solution, rich in stem cells, growth factors, and progenitor cells, is injected into the scalp areas experiencing hair loss.
These regenerative cells enhance the health and function of existing hair follicles and stimulate the production of new hair.

Oral Hair Stimulating Medication
We offer Oral Medication that works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT. The hair follicles are then not affected by DHT and can enlarge back to normal resulting in more hair growth.
About two in three men and women who take these every day experience some hair regrowth, whereas 1/3rd have no further hair loss.
This must be used indefinitely for continued support of existing hair follicles and the maintenance of any experienced hair regrowth. Important side effects may occur and can be discussed at the time of your appointment.
Therefore consultations are required before consideration of taking this medication for hair loss.
This treatment is a hair growth product that is prescription only.

What Causes Hair Loss?
There are many different causes of hair loss including certain illnesses involving liver or kidney disease, disorders of the immune system, stress, major surgery or trauma, cancer, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal problems, childbirth, genetic and age related issues, fungal infections, smoking and as a side-effect of some medications or supplements.
Dietary considerations such as nutritional deficiencies or conversely high complex carbohydrate diets which may have an endocrine effect inducing rapid release of insulin from the pancreas. The release of insulin then stimulates an increase in testosterone levels and concomitantly increases DHT (see below) resulting in hair loss.
Scarring from burns can also cause permanent hair loss. Hair loss in patches, sudden hair loss, breaking off hair shafts or hair loss associated with redness, scaling or pain are likely to be caused by specific health conditions.
Some hair loss is due to hormones. This is commonly seen in women after they have had a baby, or during spikes or dips in hormone imbalances.
Many of the reasons why hair loss may occur in men and women are genetic or hereditary, but there are many treatments that can help slow down hair loss and balding as well as grow back hair that has already been lost.
What Causes Male Pattern Hair Loss?
While it is not completely understood why the hair follicles on men’s heads stop producing new hairs, the male hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is thought to play a part.
Testosterone, the most important male sex hormone (androgen) in men, is responsible for the growth of bone and muscles, sexual function and for producing physical characteristics in men including facial and body hair. In the body, testosterone is converted to DHT by an enzyme (5-alpha reductase). DHT acts on different organs in the body including the hair follicles and cells in the prostate.
For reasons we don’t understand, hair follicles sometimes become more sensitive to DHT, slowing down hair production and producing weaker, shorter hair. Sometimes hair growth stops completely. It is not clear why different hair follicles are affected at different times, making the balding process gradual or why only scalp hairs are affected.
What Causes Female Pattern Hair Loss?
New Hair Growth following PRP Hair Treatments
Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) is thought to usually occur as a result of damage to hair follicles caused by inflammation triggered by exposure to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
The mechanism for hair loss is the same as in men. For reasons we don’t understand, hair follicles sometimes become more sensitive to DHT, slowing down hair production and producing weaker, shorter hair. Sometimes hair growth stops completely. The causes driving increasing levels of DHT or increasing scalp sensitivity to DHT are varied and there is considerable overlap with many of the causes of Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL).
Importantly in women the hormonal balance of estrogen vs testosterone, the possible impact of oral contraceptive medication on hair loss or growth, adds another layer of challenge in resolving hair loss issues in women.
What Is The Emotional Impact Of Experiencing Hair Loss?
While some hair loss is a normal part of the ageing process, it can be distressing for many particularly if it is excessive or happens at an early age. For both men and women experiencing hair loss can make them feel less confident, less attractive and many think it makes them look older.
