Creo Clinicโs Client Testimonials
How does laser hair regrowth work?
Our aesthetic practitioners use Fotonaโs HAIRestartยฎ protocol to stimulate hair regeneration. The non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH wavelength (2.94 ฮผm) is used to precisely deliver mild thermal pulses to the scalp and hair follicles, maximising patient comfort without compromising efficiency.
By gently heating the scalp, the blood flow to the area is improved, triggering the bodyโs healing and regeneration processes without the need for ablative treatment. In addition, it also activates different signalling pathways that help to regulate the hair cycle.
Why Combine Fotona HaiRestartยฎ with Exosomes Treatments?
At CREO, our specialists perform their signature two-step hair regrowth treatment, combining HAIRestartยฎ with the power of exosomes. Exosome therapy with dermapen creates micro channels in the scalp, allowing the exosomes to penetrate to the deeper layers where they are of most benefit. As a result, collagen production is triggered, strengthening the hair follicles and improving their ability to anchor to the hair shaft to create healthier and thicker hair growth.
Why Choose CREO Clinic for Hair Loss Treatment?
At CREO, we are home to a doctor-led aesthetics team with Dr. Gina Schoeman who has extensive experience providing patients with a wide range of aesthetic treatments, including hair loss treatments in London with Fotona HAIRestart.
Our team of aesthetics practitioners work with only the best and most advanced laser hair regrowth technology, the Fotona HAIRestartยฎ protocol to deliver a gentle and effective treatment, delivering exceptional results for our patients.
Benefits of Laser Hair Regrowth Treatment
Stimulates Natural Hair Growth
The Er:YAG laser technology delivers controlled heating to the scalp, improving the blood flow to the area. This helps to stimulate the bodyโs healing and regeneration processes, as well as activating various signalling pathways that regulate the hair cycle.
Non-Invasive & Virtually Painless
The HAIRestartยฎ protocol uses non-ablative laser technology only, making it a virtually painless treatment for patients. Instead, the laser provides a gentle warming sensation to the scalp that is well tolerated by patients.
Improves Hair Thickness & Density
By delivering controlled heating to dormant hair follicles, hair growth is stimulated and the health of the new hair is enhanced. This creates thicker, denser hair and prevents future hair loss.
Minimal Side Effects & Downtime
Due to the non-invasive nature of laser hair regrowth treatment, there is virtually no downtime after treatment, meaning patients can return to daily activities immediately. However, you will be provided with thorough aftercare instructions, including avoiding sun exposure as your scalp will be more sensitive after treatment.
Any side effects that you experience are usually mild, such as redness and swelling which should gradually fade in the first few hours after treatment.
The Laser Hair Regrowth Treatment Process: How It Works
1. Initial Consultation & Assessment
Prior to laser hair regrowth treatment, our specialists will perform a thorough assessment of your hair loss to make sure you are suitable for HAIRestartยฎ. You will be asked about your medical history and your expectations for treatment.
2. Preparation for the Treatment
Prior to treatment, you will need to take several steps to prepare:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks as tanned or sunburnt skin cannot be treated, due to the increased risk of complications.
- Avoid facials, microdermabrasion, retinol/retinoid treatments and any acid treatments that can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight for 2 weeks prior to treatment.
- Stop roaccutane usage 3-6 months prior to treatment, depending on dose.
- Make sure the treatment area is free from any makeup, creams or hair products on the day of treatment.
3. Laser Application Procedure
HAIREStart is applied to the scalp in rows with our practitioners meticulously separating the hair to ensure thorough coverage of the scalp. Fotonaโs SMOOTH protocol is used – a gentle, non-ablative Er:YAG laser that delivers controlled heating to the scalp, improving blood flow to the area.
This helps to improve hair follicle growth by stimulating the bodyโs own healing and regeneration processes. As a result, patients can enjoy thicker, fuller hair growth.
4. Post-Treatment Care & Recommendations
After treatment, you will need to avoid sun exposure as well as any products that can cause the skin to become more sensitive to sunlight, such as retinol/retinoids and acidic topical products for at least two weeks.
5. Follow-Up Sessions & Monitoring Progress
The number of sessions required will depend on the extent of your hair loss. In general, we recommend five sessions over four months to allow for the best possible results.
After your first treatment, you will begin to see new follicle growth as early as 8-12 weeks.
Pricing for Laser Hair Regrowth Treatment
Laser hair regrowth treatments at the CREO Clinic begin from ยฃ550 per session. For patients who wish to add exosomes to their hair regrowth treatment, prices start from ยฃ1,300 or ยฃ3,300 for a package of three sessions.
How many sessions you require will depend on all the degree of hair loss you are experiencing, but five sessions over a four month period is typically recommended for the best results.
Like all treatments at CREO Clinic, laser hair treatment is bespoke and you may be advised to include complementary therapies where necessary. As such, a full cost breakdown, as well as information on the financing options we offer, will be presented after your initial consultation.
