Regenera Activa treatment is an advanced, autologous micrografting technology used to manage androgenetic alopecia and hair thinning. At The Bombay Skin Clinic in Mumbai, this regenerative hair treatment is offered as part of a comprehensive, dermatologist-led protocol, customised after a thorough consultation. If you are considering Regenera Activa in Mumbai, this guide walks you through the benefits, safety profile, procedure steps, and realistic expectations.

At a Glance

• Treatment Type: Minimally invasive, autologous micrografting (regenerative therapy).
• Best For: Androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and hair thinning.
• Session Duration: Approximately 60 minutes.
• Downtime: Minimal; patients can typically return to daily activities immediately.
• Supervised By: Dr. Batul Patel & trained medical professionals.

What is Regenera Activa Treatment?

Regenera Activa micrografting hair treatment that utilizes the patient’s own tissue to support hair health. Specifically, it uses autologous micrografts—tissue samples collected from the patient’s own scalp—to stimulate existing hair follicles.

Unlike synthetic fillers or chemical-based therapies, this procedure relies on the regenerative potential of progenitor cells found in the scalp. The treatment is designed to address the root cause of hair thinning by improving the biological environment of the hair follicle, potentially leading to thicker and stronger hair strands. Because it uses your own biological material, Regenera Activa treatment is considered a safe and natural option for non-surgical hair loss management.

However, it is important to remember that hair thinning is often multifactorial, involving genetics, diet, and stress. For this reason, we rarely rely on a single procedure and instead combine medical, nutritional, and procedural approaches. Therefore, we view Regenera Activa not as a standalone miracle, but as a powerful pillar within a comprehensive Hair Loss Treatment plan. By addressing the root cause through varied medical approaches, we aim to halt progression and maximise hair density.

How the Procedure Works (The Science)

The science behind hair regeneration treatment involves extracting progenitor cells and growth factors from a healthy area of the scalp (usually the nape of the neck) and introducing them to the areas affected by hair loss.

1. Extraction: Small tissue samples are taken from the donor area, which is genetically resistant to balding.
2. Mechanical Disintegration: The tissue is processed in the Regenera Activa device. This medical-grade device calibrates the tissue into micrografts (approx. 50 microns) while preserving the viability of the cells.
3. Mesotherapy: A suspension containing growth factors and progenitor cell-rich extracts is injected into the thinning areas of the scalp.

Research suggests that these cells may help stimulate the hair follicle cycle, transitioning follicles from the resting phase (telogen) back to the growth phase (anagen).

 Benefits of Regenera Activa vs PRP

Patients often compare Regenera Activa vs PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). While both are regenerative therapies, there are distinct differences:

• Session Frequency: PRP typically requires multiple sessions (often 4–6) to achieve visible results. In contrast, Regenera Activa is generally a single-session procedure that may require repetition only after 1–2 years, depending on individual response.
• Standardisation: The Regenera Activa procedure utilizes a standardised mechanical disintegration method, ensuring a consistent size of micrografts.
• Cellular Composition: While PRP focuses on platelets derived from blood, Regenera Activa utilizes tissue-derived progenitor cells specifically from the scalp.

For many patients, the convenience of a one-time procedure makes Regenera a preferred hair treatment option.

Some patients prefer PRP for cost or familiarity; others choose Regenera for the convenience of fewer sessions. In many cases, they can be part of the same long-term plan.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate?

This procedure is also utilized as a preparatory step for patients planning a Hair Transplant. By strengthening the donor area and improving scalp health beforehand, it may support better graft survival rates and overall density. It is primarily effective for:

• Androgenetic Alopecia: Men and women suffering from genetic pattern baldness.
• Hair Thinning: Individuals noticing a reduction in hair density or hair shaft thickness.
• Preparation for Transplant: In some cases, it may be used to strengthen the donor area before a hair transplant.

Note: This treatment relies on the presence of active hair follicles. It is not a cure for total baldness (where follicles are no longer present) or scarring alopecia.

Contraindications: Who Should Avoid It?

While Regenera Activa treatment is minimally invasive, it may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications include:

• Active scalp infections or inflammation (e.g., psoriasis, dermatitis).
• Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Underlying autoimmune disorders (require dermatologist clearance).
• History of keloid formation or poor wound healing.

A thorough consultation at The Bombay Skin Clinic is required to rule out these conditions.

Treatment Protocol at The Bombay Skin Clinic

We adhere to strict medical protocols to ensure the best Regenera Activa treatment experience.

Step 1: Consultation and Analysis

Our dermatologists perform a videodermoscopy to analyse scalp health, hair density, and the stage of alopecia. This helps determine if Regenera Activa is the right course of action.

Step 2: Tissue Extraction

Under local anesthesia, 3–4 tiny skin samples (2.5mm diameter) are extracted from the nape of the neck. This area is chosen because the hair follicles here are typically resistant to hormonal hair loss.

Step 3: Processing

The samples are placed in the Regenera Activa kit and processed for one to two minutes to isolate the regenerative cells (micrografts).

Step 4: Micro-Injection

The resulting suspension is injected into the target areas of the scalp using fine needles (mesotherapy technique).

Risks, Side Effects, and Safety

As an autologous treatment, the risk of allergic reaction is negligible since no chemical additives are used. However, as with any injectable procedure, mild side effects may occur:

• Donor Site Healing: The extraction site at the nape heals spontaneously within a week. Mild tenderness is normal.
• Transient Effects: Slight redness or swelling at the injection sites typically subsides within 24 hours.
• Infection Risk: Strictly following post-care hygiene reduces the rare risk of infection.

Cost of Regenera Activa in Mumbai

The Regenera Activa price in Mumbai varies depending on clinical expertise and the complexity of the case. While some clinics may offer lower rates, it is crucial to prioritize sterile environments and genuine medical devices.

At The Bombay Skin Clinic, treatment plans are individualised. We will assess suitability and then determine the Regenera Activa treatment cost based on your specific medical needs. Generally, because it is a single-session protocol, many patients find the Regenera Activa cost in India comparable to the cumulative cost of multiple PRP sessions over a year.

Tips & Maintenance (Post-Care)

To ensure the effectiveness of your Regenera hair treatment, we recommend the following post-procedure care:

1. Keep the Scalp Clean: Do not wash your hair for 24 hours post-treatment.
2. Avoid Water Immersion: Avoid swimming in pools or the sea for at least one week to prevent infection.
3. Sun Protection: Protect the scalp from direct sun exposure for a few days.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use hair dyes or chemical styling treatments for at least one week.
5. Follow-up: Adhere to the follow-up schedule prescribed by your dermatologist to monitor progress.
