Innovative treatments to slow hair loss and boost hair growth

PRP: your natural hair ally

Le Platelet Rich Plasma uses your own cells to boost microcirculation in the scalp. This technique involves taking a sample of your blood, centrifuging it to extract platelet-rich plasma, then injecting it into the scalp. PRP promotes tissue regeneration and stimulates hair follicles. The effects of this solution are immediate and last for several weeks. That's why it's also a technique offered as a post-hair transplant treatment to boost regrowth in Klineva's all-inclusive packages. This type of treatment is only available in the clinic.

LED light therapy: strengthen while you relax

Using specific LED lights, this method aims to increase blood circulation to the scalp and encourage hair growth by improving hair density.

Microneedling: a boost for your hair

This micro-needling technique creates tiny perforations in the scalp, activating collagen production and boosting the penetration of hair serums. The result? Stronger hair in 4 to 6 months, for a reasonable investment. Finally, we recommend that you pay particular attention to hygiene when using this technique.

Natural solutions for hair loss: what really works

Your bathroom's allies

  • Rosemary oil increases blood circulation.
  • Aloe vera soothes irritation and deeply moisturises.
  • Castor oil ....

Targeted food supplements

Choose formulas based on biotin, zinc & B vitaminsBut bear in mind that they are not a substitute for a transplant in the case of advanced baldness.

Why avoid anti-fall medication over the long term?

However, the experts at the Klineva clinic do not recommend chemical treatments such as Minoxidil or Finasteride, which have to be taken over the long term (often a lifetime commitment) and can have significant side-effects depending on the individual. For example: dermal irritation, appearance of unwanted hair (Minoxidil). Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, etc. (finasteride). In any case, it is advisable to have medical supervision with these treatments.

Hair transplants: when alternatives are no longer enough

If, despite these treatments, hair loss persists or worsens, hair transplants become an option to consider. This surgical procedure involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area to balding areas, offering a permanent and natural solution to alopecia.

At Klineva, we use the Sapphire FUE (single follicle extraction) and DHI method (direct hair implantation) for undetectable results:

    • No visible scarseven with a short haircut.
    • Natural regrowth in 12 months.
    • Expert team

We are hair transplant specialists and we understand the psychological and professional impact of baldness, especially for men in their thirties who are in constant contact with teams or clients. Our expertise means we can help you choose the treatment best suited to your situation, always focusing on personalised, effective solutions.
