The Treatment

What it is

Treatment of hair thinning may use PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and mesotherapy to stimulate the scalp and improve hair density and quality, in cases where the follicle is still viable.

How it works

  1. 01

    Trichological assessment to identify the type of thinning and suitability for treatment.

  2. 02

    PRP: blood draw, plasma preparation and micro-injections into the scalp.

  3. 03

    Mesotherapy: micro-injections of a personalised mix of supportive nutrients.

The treatment works when the follicle is still viable; it does not act on atrophied follicles.
