What causes hair loss in men and women?

The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), driven by sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Other causes include nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes (particularly post-pregnancy or menopause), thyroid disorders, chronic stress (telogen effluvium), autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata, and scalp health issues. Identifying the cause is the first step to choosing the right treatment.

Does PRP work for hair loss?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is supported by a growing body of clinical evidence for androgenetic alopecia. It is most effective in the early to mid-stages of hair loss, when follicles are still active but weakened. At ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil, we assess each client individually and provide honest guidance on expected outcomes based on their stage of hair loss.

What is the difference between PRP and mesotherapy for hair loss?

PRP uses your own blood's growth factors injected into the scalp to stimulate follicle activity. Scalp mesotherapy delivers a targeted blend of vitamins, minerals, and growth factors (and optionally exosomes) directly into the scalp. PRP is generally considered more potent; mesotherapy can be a suitable alternative or complement, particularly for clients with lower platelet counts or those who prefer not to use a blood-derived treatment.

How many PRP sessions do I need for hair loss in Merthyr Tydfil?

A typical PRP hair restoration course at ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil consists of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 4–6 months are recommended to sustain results. Most clients begin noticing reduced hair shedding after 1–2 sessions, with improved density visible at 3–4 months.

Can hair loss treatments be combined with medications like minoxidil?

Yes. PRP and scalp mesotherapy work particularly well alongside topical or oral hair loss medications such as minoxidil or finasteride. Combining medical treatments with in-clinic procedures provides a synergistic effect that can significantly improve outcomes. Your practitioner at ReGen Aesthetics Clinic will advise on the most appropriate combination for your case.

QUICK ANSWER

Non-surgical hair loss treatments including PRP and scalp mesotherapy with exosomes can significantly slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth — especially in the early to mid-stages of androgenetic alopecia. At ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, J. Tudor RGN provides medically informed, evidence-based hair restoration treatments accessible from Cardiff, Pontypridd, and Aberdare.

Understanding hair loss: causes and types

Hair loss affects an estimated 50% of men and 25% of women at some point in their lives, yet many people feel uncertain about where to start. The most common form — androgenetic alopecia — is genetic and progressive, but it is not inevitable. Understanding whether your hair loss is genetic, hormonal, nutritional, or stress-related is the essential first step. At ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil, every hair consultation begins with a thorough scalp and hair health assessment to identify the cause and stage of your hair loss.

Non-surgical hair loss treatments available in South Wales

At ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil, we offer a range of evidence-based non-surgical hair restoration treatments. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration uses your own blood's concentrated growth factors to reactivate dormant follicles. Scalp mesotherapy delivers targeted vitamins, growth factors, and nutrients directly into the scalp. Mesotherapy with exosomes provides advanced regenerative signalling at follicle level. These treatments can be used alone or in combination, and can complement medical hair loss treatments such as minoxidil.

PRP hair restoration: how it works

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, placing it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then injecting the PRP directly into the scalp at follicle level. These growth factors — including PDGF, VEGF, and IGF — trigger follicle cells to enter an active growth phase, stimulate new blood vessel formation, and extend the hair's growth cycle. The procedure takes approximately 60–90 minutes and is performed under topical anaesthesia at ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil.

Scalp mesotherapy with exosomes: the next generation

Exosomes are nano-sized cell-signalling vesicles that carry genetic information and bioactive molecules between cells, triggering regenerative responses. When delivered into the scalp alongside a targeted mesotherapy cocktail, exosomes amplify follicle stimulation significantly beyond what is achievable with conventional mesotherapy or PRP alone. This is a cutting-edge treatment available at ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil for clients seeking the most advanced scalp regeneration available without surgery.

What stage of hair loss can be treated?

Non-surgical hair treatments including PRP are most effective in the early to mid-stages of hair loss — typically Norwood Scale I–IV for men, and Ludwig Scale I–II for women — where follicles are still active but weakened. In very advanced hair loss where follicles are completely absent, PRP and mesotherapy cannot restore hair in those specific areas. However, they can slow progression and strengthen remaining follicles. For clients with more advanced hair loss, we provide an honest assessment and may discuss referral options alongside our treatments.

Lifestyle, nutrition, and scalp health: the foundation

No injectable treatment works in isolation. At ReGen Aesthetics Clinic in Merthyr Tydfil, we take a holistic approach to hair loss — discussing nutritional status (particularly iron, B12, vitamin D, and zinc), stress management, hormonal health, scalp care routines, and appropriate supplementation as part of every hair consultation. These foundations can make the difference between mediocre and excellent outcomes from clinical hair restoration treatments. Our Luxury Head Spa treatments also support scalp circulation and health between in-clinic sessions.
