This personalized treatment uses regenerative medicine for hair restoration
Have you been losing hair? Be it from stress, hormones, genetics, or just age, fear not, because there’s a new technology in town that is taking hair regeneration to the next level.
And it’s not a chemical-loaded shampoo nor a pill. Neither is it a hair transplant or an invasive procedure. It’s a natural, regenerative solution called Regenera Activa.

Regenerative medicine is so exciting for the future because it utilizes the latent power of your own body to stimulate healing on its own—and in this case, it’s with hair growth.
The Regenera Activa treatment stimulates your hair to grow on its own, combining growth factors and progenitor cells to promote longer, thicker hair growth while simultaneously halting hair loss.
So, how does it work? The procedure is fairly simple and can be completed in just one 30-minute session, done annually or every six months. First, micro-grafts (skin strips with just a few pieces of hair), are taken from a healthy area of the scalp, usually at the back of the head, where there is more hair. Afterward, the Regenera machine uses these to extract the regenerative cells that exist in your body. These extracted cells are then applied to the areas losing hair through a microinjection.

The healing science is behind a stimulating factor, specifically progenitor cells or stem cells as we know them. These early descendants of stem cells can differentiate into specific cell types that contribute to tissue growth, repair, and regeneration.
The treatment is different from hair transplants, too, as it doesn’t move or remove hair follicles, where there’s the risk of actually running out of hair. Instead, it stimulates existing ones. It’s basically “personalized regeneration.”

Dr. Halah Taha, a Dubai-based doctor known for her holistic approach to beauty, says, “We are not taking the hair, we are taking the growth factor… The regenerative medicine is using our own body, our healthy cells, to regenerate and to heal the unhealthy or damaged area.”
There are no chemicals and no side effects. It can be for both men and women. It’s safe even for pregnant women, though still not possible for those 18 years old and below, unless with parental consent. It’s quick, too, and can be finished in just one session with minimal downtime, while effective for various types of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. The results are long-lasting, with visible improvements after 3 to 6 months, lasting 12 to 15 months.

Who can benefit? Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing hair loss but still have active hair follicles, so it’s not possible for those who are bald.
What’s really exciting is that the potential of this regenerative technology extends far beyond hair restoration. Regenera Activa has applications in treating stretch marks, joint problems, and even wound healing. Dritan, an expert in the field with Regenera Activa, notes, “We are in the early stages of regenerative medicine. Tomorrow will be something that today we don’t even imagine.”
At present, Regenera Activa is available in more than 60 countries and has been used for over 250,000 procedures. The treatment is FDA-, FMA-, ICIM SpA-, and HSA-approved.
For those in the Philippines interested in exploring this cutting-edge treatment, DMark Beauty, the market leader behind renowned brands like Bioderma and Heliocare, has introduced Regenera Activa to the country.
