Stage 1: Non-Surgical Hair Regrowth
Common Medical Therapies:
- Minoxidil– topical vasodilator
- Finasteride– DHT blocker for men
- PRP Therapy– concentrated growth factors injected into the scalp
- LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy) – home-use or in-clinic red-light caps
Advanced Regenerative Trichology at DermaClinix
We go beyond standard protocols by offering cutting-edge biological hair restoration therapies, including:
- High-Density PRP (HD-PRP)– enhanced platelet yield for deeper regeneration
- Exosome Therapy– nano-scale signaling vesicles for follicle activation
- Autologous Micrograft Transplantation (AMT)– cellular extract rich in progenitor cells
- Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)– stem cell-rich extract from adipose tissue
These are ideal for early-stage hair thinning and often help delay or minimize the need for a transplant, especially when used in combination.
When to Consider a Hair Transplant
You may be ready to advance from regrowth therapies if:
- Progress plateaus after 6–12 months
- Scalp shows visible thinning or bald patches
- You’re seeking permanent coverage in targeted areas
You have strong donor zones at the back of the head
Hair Transplant Explained
Techniques:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)– minimally invasive, no linear scar
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant)– strip method, now less preferred
Timeline:
- Procedure: 4–8 hrs
- Shedding (shock loss): 2–4 weeks
- New growth: starts ~3 months
Full result: visible by 9–12 months
Intelligent Navigation Punch System
At DermaClinix, we exclusively use the Intelligent Navigation Punch System, allowing:
- Root-safe follicular extractionwith minimal trauma
- Precision graft harvesting based on follicle angle and depth
- Integration with no-touch-to-root implantation
- Maximum survival rate for each graft
This system enables long hair FUE, unshaven hair transplant, and real-time implantation—delivering natural, dense results without disrupting existing hair.
Hair Regrowth vs Hair Transplant: Quick Comparison
Factor | Medical Regrowth | Hair Transplant |
Method | Topicals, oral meds, injectables | Surgical extraction & implantation |
Invasiveness | Non-invasive or mild | Minimally invasive |
Time to Results | 6–12 months, ongoing | 3–12 months (permanent) |
Maintenance | Lifelong daily/weekly use | Usually low post-op maintenance |
Coverage | Diffuse thinning | Defined bald or receding areas |
Longevity | Requires maintenance to sustain | Permanent (transplanted follicles) |
5-Step Hair Strategy
- Begin with regenerative trichology or PRP
- Track responseover 6–12 months
- Assess donor capacityfor transplant if needed
- Use Intelligent Navigation FUEfor natural results
- Maintain with supportive therapies like exosomes or HD-PRP
FAQs
1. Can I combine regrowth with a transplant?
Absolutely. In fact, our protocols often combine both for faster, more complete results.
2. Do regenerative therapies work alone?
In early cases, yes. They can boost density and delay transplant needs.
3. Will transplanted hair need minoxidil or finasteride?
Transplanted follicles are permanent. However, medications help maintain your native hair.
Key Takeaways
- Start with non-surgical solutionswhen appropriate.
- Upgrade to FUE transplantwhen needed for permanence.
- Choose clinics offering advanced regenerative therapiesand precision punch systems for best outcomes.
- Treat hair restoration as a long-term plan, not a one-off fix.
