Regenera Activa (RA) Hair Rejuvenation

What Is Regenera Activa Hair Rejuvenation?

Regenera Activa (RA) hair rejuvenation is an innovative, non-surgical hair restoration treatment designed to combat hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. It is the most common form of hair thinning and balding, affecting roughly 63% of men and having an overall occurrence rate of 3.8% in Singapore.

This regenerative therapy harnesses the power of your stem cells to stimulate hair growth by activating dormant hair follicles and promoting long-lasting, healthier and thicker hair. As a safe and effective solution for both men and women, the procedure is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime, making it the ideal hair loss solution for those running on a busy schedule.

How does RA hair rejuvenation work?

RA hair rejuvenation works by using autologous micrografting technology. The process involves extracting and reintroducing your regenerative cells into areas of the scalp that are affected by hair loss. Generally, the procedure entails:

• Scalp analysis: our doctor will begin the procedure with a thorough scalp analysis to understand your scalp and hair health.
• Tissue collection: afterwards, a small sample of healthy scalp tissue, typically from the back of the head where the hair is genetically more resistant to thinning, is collected.
• Processing the regenerative cells: the collected tissue sample is then processed using the RA system, which isolates a high concentration of stem cells and growth factors from the sample. The isolated cells are essential for tissue regeneration as well as for hair follicle stimulation.
• Injecting the regenerative cells: once the regenerative cells have been processed, they are injected into the treatment areas. As these cells activate dormant hair follicles, they improve blood circulation and stimulate the production of hair regrowth.

What are the benefits of Regenera Activa Hair Rejuvenation?

Some of the benefits that RA hair rejuvenation offers include:

• Long-lasting results.
• Low risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
• Minimally invasive.
• Natural hair regrowth.
• Noticeable results.
• Painless experience.
• Quick recovery with little to no downtime.
• Reduction in hair loss and thinning.
• Safe and effective treatment against hair loss and thinning.

What conditions do Regenera Activa Hair Rejuvenation treat?

RA hair rejuvenation is suitable for both men and women, especially for those who are experiencing early to moderate hair loss. Additionally, the treatment is similarly suitable for those who are experiencing the following conditions:

• Androgenic alopecia: androgenic alopecia is a common form of hair loss that is triggered by genetic factors and hormonal changes. While men often experience receding hairline or crown baldness, women often experience hair thinning across the top of the scalp.
• Diffuse hair thinning: diffuse hair thinning indicates a general condition of hair thinning across the entire scalp. This can be caused by several factors, such as high levels of stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances or other medical conditions or treatments.

Additionally, RA hair rejuvenation is also recommended for patients who are looking to avoid the pains of surgical intervention in treating hair loss by seeking a more natural solution.

What results can I expect from Regenera Activa Hair Rejuvenation?

Following the treatment, you may notice a significant reduction in hair loss within 2 to 4 weeks, with continued improvements over the next several months. In fact, between 6 and 12 months, patients often notice thicker and denser hair as the regenerative cells promote the growth of new hair follicles while strengthening the existing ones.

While the results will vary depending on everyone’s condition, generally you can expect:

• Reduced hair loss, with initial signs of improvement including less hair fall.
• Thicker hair density.
• Healthier hair growth.

How Many Sessions of Regenera Activa Hair Rejuvenation Are Often Required?

Most of the time, RA hair rejuvenation is a one-time procedure that offers long-lasting results for approximately a year or more. At Astique Clinic, we encourage our patients to schedule maintenance sessions to maintain the desired results. However, this will be subject to your hair progression and scalp health. Rest assured that our doctors will advise you on the necessity prior to and after the treatment, as part of their endeavour to help you achieve your hair goals.

Frequently asked questions

1. Is RA hair rejuvenation painful?
The procedure is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated. In fact, most patients report experiencing mild discomfort at most. Local anaesthesia will be administered to minimise discomfort during the tissue extraction and injection processes.

2. How long does the treatment session often last?
The treatment often lasts 60 minutes.

3. How does RA hair rejuvenation compare to Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant?
RA hair rejuvenation is a non-surgical treatment that utilises your own stem cells, while FUE is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. 

RA is less invasive, requires no downtime, and can stimulate hair growth in existing follicles, making it suitable for those in the early stages of hair loss. In contrast, FUE is often recommended for more advanced hair loss, as it directly relocates healthy hair follicles.

4. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include mild swelling, redness or tenderness at the treatment areas. But these symptoms usually resolve quickly and there is no significant downtime associated with the treatment.

5. Can RA hair rejuvenation be combined with other hair restoration treatments?
Yes, RA hair rejuvenation can be combined with other treatments, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy or topical hair growth products to enhance overall results and improve hair density.
