Hair restoration
Nurse-led scalp treatments for thinning hair and reduced density, starting with a proper look at why it's happening.
Hair thinning has many causes, including genetics, hormones, stress, illness, diet and some medicines. Treating the scalp without understanding the cause rarely works, so every plan starts with a hair and scalp consultation.
Where treatment is suitable, the options work on the scalp environment: polynucleotide injections, scalp microneedling with Purasomes, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from a small sample of your own blood. They can be used on their own or together.
Depending on your goals, Rebeca may suggest combining it with polynucleotides or microneedling as part of a wider plan.
Hair programmes
Polynucleotide scalp treatment to support hair and scalp quality. Also available as an 8-session Density Programme.
Controlled scalp microneedling with Purasomes HSC50+. Also available as a 4-session programme.
Eight polynucleotide treatments, four PRP treatments and four microneedling treatments with Purasomes, with assessment, reviews and aftercare.
Who it's for
Men and women noticing more hair in the brush or shower, a widening parting, or hair that feels thinner than it used to. It's best suited to early and moderate thinning.
Sudden, patchy or rapid hair loss, or hair loss with other symptoms, should be checked by your GP first, and Rebeca will tell you if that's the right next step. Treatment isn't offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The three approaches
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments injected into the scalp in tiny amounts to support the skin of the scalp and the environment around the hair follicles.
Purasomes is a secretome product: exosomes, growth factors and signalling proteins applied with controlled microneedling so they reach the scalp.
PRP uses platelets concentrated from your own blood, which are rich in growth factors, and is injected into the thinning areas.
What to expect
Hair grows slowly, so changes take months rather than weeks. Progress is reviewed with photographs at set points, and the plan is adjusted if something isn't working.
Results vary from person to person and can't be guaranteed. Keeping them usually needs maintenance sessions, and treatment works best when any underlying cause is also addressed.
Honest advice, and knowing when to say, “You don't need that.”

Good to know
Does it hurt?
The scalp can be sensitive. Numbing is used where appropriate, and most people find it very manageable.
Can I wash my hair afterwards?
Wait at least 24 hours, and avoid hair products, heat styling and swimming for the time you're advised.
When will I see a difference?
Usually from around three months. Hair growth is slow, and progress photos help you see change that's hard to notice day to day.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes. The consultation looks at your pattern of thinning and likely cause, whatever your sex.
