FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can androgenetic alopecia be cured?+
Androgenetic alopecia has no definitive cure, but there is effective treatment that stops its progression and can achieve regrowth. Treatment must be maintained to preserve the results.
What is the difference between effluvium and alopecia?+
Telogen effluvium is diffuse and usually temporary shedding, related to stress, diet or illness. Androgenetic alopecia is a progressive pattern of genetic and hormonal origin. An accurate differential diagnosis is key.
What are exosomes and how are they used in trichology?+
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles loaded with growth factors and regenerative signals. In trichology, they are applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, improve hair density and slow shedding. They are one of the most innovative therapies currently available, with excellent results especially in androgenetic alopecia and effluvium.
What is scalp mesotherapy?+
Scalp mesotherapy consists of micro-injections into the scalp with a blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and follicle-stimulating actives. It improves local circulation, nourishes the follicles and reduces hair shedding. It is a minimally invasive treatment with no downtime, performed in spaced sessions and combined with the underlying medical treatment.
