Q1. What is Regenera Activa®?
A. Regenera Activa® is an autologous regenerative hair treatment that utilizes a patient's own healthy scalp tissue.
During the procedure, small tissue samples are typically obtained from areas of the scalp that are less affected by hair loss, most commonly the occipital region (back of the scalp). The tissue is then processed using a dedicated medical system to obtain a suspension containing regenerative cellular components and growth factor-rich tissue elements, which are subsequently delivered to areas affected by hair thinning.
The treatment is designed to support scalp health and help improve the environment surrounding existing hair follicles.
Q2. How is Regenera Activa® different from hair transplantation?
A. Hair transplantation and Regenera Activa® are fundamentally different approaches.
Hair transplantation involves relocating follicular units from a donor area to areas affected by hair loss.
Regenera Activa® does not transplant hair follicles. Instead, it utilizes regenerative components derived from the patient's own scalp tissue to support existing follicles and improve scalp conditions associated with hair thinning.
For this reason, Regenera Activa® is often considered by patients experiencing early-to-moderate hair thinning who are seeking a non-surgical treatment option.
Q3. Can a single treatment provide noticeable improvement?
A. Many patients choose Regenera Activa® because the treatment is typically performed as a single-session procedure.
Results vary among individuals and depend on factors such as age, type of hair loss, scalp condition, and follicular health. Improvements generally develop gradually, with changes often becoming noticeable over the course of several months.
Because hair growth is a biological process, individual responses and timelines can differ significantly.
Q4. Will tissue harvesting leave visible scars?
A. The tissue samples used for Regenera Activa® are typically obtained using very small punch instruments.
The collection area is generally located within hair-bearing scalp regions where it can be easily concealed by surrounding hair. In most cases, healing occurs without the need for extensive wound management.
The visibility of any residual marks varies depending on individual healing characteristics and procedural factors.
Q5. Are there risks of rejection, side effects, or significant downtime?
A. Because Regenera Activa® utilizes tissue obtained from the patient's own body, there is no risk of immune rejection associated with donor-derived materials.
As with any medical procedure, temporary side effects such as mild tenderness, redness, swelling, or discomfort at the treatment sites may occur.
Downtime is generally minimal, and most patients are able to resume normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Specific post-procedure instructions, including guidance regarding hair washing and scalp care, should be followed as directed by the treating physician.
