Hair therapy for hereditary hair loss – The Regenera Activa® method

When the part widens or the temples become thinner, what matters most to most patients at first is an honest answer to a simple question: Can anything still be done for hereditary hair loss? With the Regenera Activa® method, we now offer you an answer in our private practice in Hamburg that addresses the hair roots that are still present but weakened. Through the injection of the body’s own progenitor cells and growth factors, we aim to reactivate the “dormant” follicles. In a personal consultation, we will first clarify the cause of your hair loss, because only after an anamnesis and a hair analysis can we determine whether Regenera Activa® is an option for you. Feel free to arrange your initial appointment by phone or conveniently online.

From consultation to aftercare – The procedure of your treatment

Consultation & Anamnesis

First, we clarify the cause of your hair loss through anamnesis, examination, and a hair analysis. This is how we determine whether there are still hair follicles that can be activated and whether the procedure is an option for you.

Anesthesia & Harvesting

Under local anesthesia, we take three small skin punch biopsies of 2.5 millimeters from behind the ear. This area remains covered by hair later on; the procedure is minimally invasive, and any potential scar is very small.

The cell suspension

With the Regenera Activa® system, the harvested tissue is mechanically shredded, filtered, and a suspension of autologous cells, growth factors, and matrix components is obtained.

Injection into the scalp

We introduce the suspension evenly into the thinning areas via several fine punctures. Usually, only a brief sensation of pressure or stinging is felt, and the entire treatment takes about 30 minutes.

Aftercare & progress

Downtime is short: you can wash your hair again after about 24 hours. The progress becomes apparent over months; an initial assessment is possible no earlier than around three months.

Possible side effects

The treatment is generally well-tolerated. However, as with any injection treatment, adverse reactions are possible, though they occur rarely:

How Regenera Activa® stimulates your hair follicles – A scientifically supported treatment

To address hair loss not just superficially but at the root, we use the body’s own regenerative properties with Regenera Activa® in Hamburg. The biological mechanism of action is based on the following principles:

Stopping miniaturization

In androgenetic alopecia, the growth phase of the hair shortens, the follicle shrinks, and the hair becomes finer. The treatment aims to intervene in this process and activate "dormant" hair follicles.

Autologous active ingredients

The core of the treatment is a micro-suspension consisting of intact, autologous (the body’s own) progenitor cells, growth factors, and the extracellular matrix for a favorable environment.

Cellular signaling

In the scalp, the isolated cells act as biological signal transmitters. They dock onto the miniaturized follicles and stimulate the dermal papilla cells to initiate regeneration.

The growth phase

Through this cellular impulse, the follicle can be returned to an active, extended growth phase (anagen phase), and the blood circulation of the scalp can be stimulated.

Structural improvement

The goal is to stop progressive hair loss and create the conditions for improved hair growth, allowing hair to regrow noticeably thicker and denser.

How we integrate this mode of action into our hair therapy concept

In our private practice, Regenera Activa® is a component of our regenerative hair therapy concept and can be combined with other procedures depending on the findings.

PRF as the main component

The procedure works most closely with PRF treatment, a further development of classic PRP: A concentrate containing fibrin and growth factors is obtained from your own blood, which releases these signaling substances more slowly and over a longer period. Since both procedures are autologous and rely on the body’s own signaling substances, they complement each other well.

Further procedures

In addition, our hair therapy concept includes light therapy (LLLT) as non-invasive support, exosome therapy, peptide-based hair fillers, and medical hair spa for scalp care. We will determine which combination is suitable for you together after the hair consultation, as it depends on the cause, stage, and goal.

Are there also medicinal combinations?

In many cases of androgenetic alopecia, cellular stimulation can be medically and sensibly combined with established medicinal therapy. While autologous cell harvesting focuses directly on the reactivation of weakened hair follicles, classic medicinal approaches work on a biochemical level. Local applications such as minoxidil or systemic therapies such as finasteride aim to optimize the nutrient supply to the scalp or modulate the hormonal influence on the hair roots.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Suitable for

Contraindicated for

completely bald areas without existing hair

pregnancy, breastfeeding, tumor diseases, or autoimmune diseases

Your appointment for Regenera Activa® treatment in Hamburg

Observing your own hair loss often costs a lot of energy. However, medical progress now offers us sound, minimally invasive ways to actively and purposefully counteract this process. In our private dermatology practice, we combine these scientific methods with honest, empathetic support.

We do not promise you miracles, but rather a transparent assessment of what is medically feasible – and what is not. The goal of our work is to give you back a bit of ease through precise diagnostics and coordinated therapies.

Therefore, take the first step and let us check together whether cellular stimulation is the right path for you.

Frequently asked questions about Regenera Activa®

Is the treatment equally suitable for men and women?

Yes, the therapy can be used successfully regardless of gender. Although androgenetic alopecia often manifests in different patterns of hair loss in men and women, the underlying cellular mechanism of follicle miniaturization is comparable. Since the procedure uses the body’s own tissue for stimulation, it is equally suitable for both female and male patients, provided the medical indication is correct.

Is the result of the hair stimulation permanent?

Hereditary hair loss is a chronically progressive process that cannot be completely stopped medically, but only modulated. Cellular therapy can strengthen miniaturized follicles and improve growth for a certain period of time. However, since the genetic predisposition remains, the effect diminishes over time. Therefore, a touch-up at intervals of about twelve months is recommended to maintain the result.

Can I go straight back to exercising after the treatment?

Although the treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and you may wash your hair the next day, physical rest is advisable for the first few days. To minimize the risk of infection at the harvest and puncture sites, we recommend avoiding intense exercise, heavy sweating, sauna visits, and direct UV radiation on the scalp for a few days.

Does a scar remain at the harvest site?

The three tissue samples are usually taken from behind the ear using punches only 2.5 millimeters in size. The areas are covered by the hair and usually heal inconspicuously.

What is the difference between Regenera Activa® and PRF therapy?

In PRF therapy (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), concentrated growth factors are isolated from your own blood serum. Regenera Activa®, on the other hand, extracts the regenerative building blocks – specific progenitor cells and extracellular matrix – directly from solid skin and hair follicle tissue at the back of the head. Another significant difference lies in the rhythm: While PRF is usually carried out as a series of several sessions in quick succession, Regenera Activa® is generally performed as a single treatment with an annual touch-up.
