Regenera Activa Hair Regeneration Treatment
Hair thinning and hair loss can affect both men and women and may develop gradually due to factors such as androgenetic alopecia, ageing and other causes. When hair begins to lose density, many people look for minimally invasive options that may support the health and appearance of existing hair.
Regenera Activa is an autologous hair regeneration treatment that uses a small sample of the patient’s own tissue to prepare a suspension of micrografts. These micrografts contain cells and tissue components that are intended to support the scalp environment and hair follicle activity.
Unlike a traditional hair transplant, Regenera Activa does not involve transplanting individual hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another.
At Dr. Nakhoda’s Skin Institute, Regenera Activa can be considered for suitable patients experiencing selected forms of hair thinning or reduced hair density.
What Is Regenera Activa?
Regenera Activa is a minimally invasive autologous micrograft treatment designed for hair regeneration.
The procedure uses a small sample of the patient’s own tissue, typically obtained from the scalp. The tissue is processed using the Regenera Activa system to produce a suspension containing micrografts.
The resulting suspension is then administered into areas of the scalp affected by hair thinning.
Because the material is derived from the patient’s own tissue, Regenera Activa is considered an autologous treatment.
How Does Regenera Activa Work?
The Regenera Activa procedure involves several steps:
1. Tissue Collection
A small amount of tissue is collected from a selected donor area of the patient’s scalp after local anaesthesia.
2. Micrograft Preparation
The collected tissue is processed using the Regenera Activa system. The process mechanically disaggregates the tissue into a suspension of micrografts containing cellular and extracellular components.
3. Scalp Administration
The prepared suspension is then injected into selected areas of the scalp where hair thinning or reduced density is present.
The goal is to provide the treated scalp with autologous micrograft material that may support the local tissue environment and hair follicle function.
Regenera Activa for Hair Loss
Regenera Activa for hair loss is primarily intended as a regenerative approach for selected patients with hair thinning.
It may be considered when the patient still has existing, miniaturised or weakened hair follicles in the treatment area.
Regenera Activa is not designed to create completely new follicles in areas where follicles are permanently absent. Patients with advanced baldness or significant loss of donor hair may require a different treatment approach, such as hair transplantation.
A consultation is therefore important before deciding whether Regenera Activa is appropriate.
Benefits of Regenera Activa
Depending on the individual and underlying cause of hair loss, Regenera Activa may offer potential benefits such as:
- Minimally invasive hair regeneration
- Uses the patient’s own tissue
- No large surgical incision
- No follicular unit transplantation
- Short treatment procedure
- May help improve the appearance of hair density
- Can be considered for selected types of hair thinning
- Minimal disruption to daily activities for many patients
Results vary considerably between individuals, and Regenera Activa should not be presented as a guaranteed cure for hair loss.
What Happens During a Regenera Activa Treatment?
Before treatment, your scalp and pattern of hair loss will be assessed.
If you are considered a suitable candidate, local anaesthesia is used to make the procedure more comfortable.
A small tissue sample is collected from the donor area and processed using the Regenera Activa system. The resulting micrograft suspension is then injected into the areas requiring treatment.
The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require the harvesting and implantation of individual hair follicles as performed during a conventional hair transplant.
Regenera Activa Recovery
Because only a small tissue sample is collected and the treatment is minimally invasive, recovery is generally shorter than that associated with surgical hair transplantation.
Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or sensitivity may occur around the treated areas.
Your doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions based on your procedure and scalp condition.
When Will You See Regenera Activa Results?
Hair growth and hair-cycle changes take time. Regenera Activa results are not immediate.
If the treatment is effective for an individual patient, changes in hair density or the appearance of existing hair may become noticeable gradually over the following months.
The outcome depends on factors including the cause and stage of hair loss, the condition of the existing follicles, age, genetics and individual response to treatment.
Who May Be a Candidate for Regenera Activa?
Regenera Activa may be considered for adults experiencing selected forms of hair thinning where viable hair follicles remain in the treatment area.
It may be worth discussing if you have:
- Early or moderate hair thinning
- Reduced hair density
- Pattern hair loss
- Miniaturised hair follicles
- A desire for a minimally invasive hair-regeneration option
However, not every type of hair loss is suitable for Regenera Activa.
Hair loss caused by certain medical conditions, active scalp disease, scarring or advanced follicle loss may require a different treatment.
A proper diagnosis of the underlying cause of hair loss should be performed before treatment.
Regenera Activa vs. Hair Transplant
Regenera Activa and hair transplantation are different procedures.
Regenera Activa uses autologous micrografts prepared from a small tissue sample and administered to areas of hair thinning.
Hair transplantation involves surgically removing hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into areas with hair loss.
Regenera Activa does not replace a hair transplant for patients who have extensive permanent hair loss or areas where follicles are no longer present.
The appropriate option depends on the extent and cause of hair loss and the patient’s individual goals.
Regenera Activa vs. PRP for Hair Loss
Both Regenera Activa and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are minimally invasive treatments used in hair-loss management, but they are different approaches.
PRP uses a patient’s blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets before being injected into the scalp.
Regenera Activa uses a small sample of the patient’s own tissue to prepare a micrograft suspension.
Your doctor can assess your hair loss and recommend whether Regenera Activa, PRP, medication, hair transplantation or a combination approach is more appropriate.
Is Regenera Activa Safe?
Regenera Activa uses the patient’s own tissue and is a minimally invasive procedure. However, as with any procedure involving tissue collection and injections, temporary discomfort, redness, swelling or other local reactions can occur.
Suitability depends on your health, scalp condition and cause of hair loss.
A medical consultation is important before treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Regenera Activa?
Regenera Activa is a minimally invasive autologous micrograft treatment that uses a patient’s own tissue to prepare a cellular micrograft suspension for administration into areas of hair thinning.
Is Regenera Activa a hair transplant?
No. Regenera Activa does not involve transplanting individual hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another.
Can Regenera Activa treat baldness?
Regenera Activa is more appropriate when viable hair follicles remain in the treatment area. It cannot recreate follicles in areas where they have been permanently lost.
Is Regenera Activa suitable for men and women?
It may be considered for both men and women with appropriate types of hair thinning. Suitability depends on the underlying cause and extent of hair loss.
How long does Regenera Activa take?
The procedure is relatively short compared with surgical hair transplantation. The exact treatment time depends on the tissue collection, processing and number of areas being treated.
When will I see Regenera Activa results?
Results, when they occur, develop gradually because hair grows through a natural cycle. Your doctor can explain the expected timeline based on your individual condition.
Can Regenera Activa be combined with other hair-loss treatments?
Depending on the cause of hair loss, Regenera Activa may be considered alongside other treatments. Your doctor can recommend an appropriate combination based on your diagnosis.
