Body Treatment
What is a growth factor treatment for hair regrowth?
Hair loss begins, on average, from the age of 25 for men and 40 for women. Several factors like hormonal problems, thyroid gland problems, and anemia can contribute to hair loss. However, heredity remains the most important risk factor for hair loss. Injections of growth factors naturally contained in your own blood are an effective treatment for hair loss. In fact, studies show that this technology using the growth factors present in the blood can slow down hair loss, stimulates hair regrowth in some cases, and
produces an overall improvement in hair quality. It is a safe, natural, low-pain treatment with minimal recovery time.
Conditions

The Rejuvena Approach
How does a consultation for hair treatment with growth factors work?
Since our goal is to offer you a personalized, effective and safe treatment, a complete evaluation will be carried out beforehand. This will allow us to determine if treatment with growth factors is the best option for you and to ensure that there are no contraindications to proceeding.
Here are the steps for your first consultation:
Review of your medical record
We will discuss your medical history, medications, allergies and previous treatments.
Photography
The photos are kept in your medical file and allow us to review and evaluate the results of the treatments with you.
Discussion of your concerns
Your injector will discuss your expectations with you and make suggestions to meet your needs. The areas to be treated will be identified.
Here are the steps in the procedure:
Step 1:
Your professional will perform a venipuncture in the crease of the elbow to collect a small amount of your blood. The specially designed tube will then be placed in a centrifuge for a period of 5 minutes.
Step 2:
Your treating professional will disinfect the scalp.
Step 3:
Once centrifugation is complete, the portion of the blood containing the growth factors will be extracted from the tube and ready to be injected with very fine needles.
Step 4:
The full appointment for a growth factor injection treatment lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour. However, the injection time is about 10 to 15 minutes.

FAQ
How many sessions are needed?
Growth factor therapy to slow down hair loss and stimulate potential regrowth requires an initial course of 4 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. To maintain the results, maintenance treatments are recommended every 6-12 months.
When can I expect to see results?
The results will be visible about 2 to 3 months after the treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Thanks to their regenerative properties, growth factors are used to speed up healing, which means that the recovery time for this treatment is relatively short. The main possible reactions after treatment include:
- Your scalp may be more sensitive to the touch.
- You may experience a feeling of tension in the treated area.
- Some people may experience headaches immediately after treatment. If this is the case, you can take acetaminophen.
- Redness and mild bruising may occur and last for 5-7 days.
- With the manual technique used at Clinique Rejuvena, there will be no residual fluid lost on the surface of the scalp.
You can resume your regular activities immediately after treatment. However, we recommend waiting 24 hours before washing your hair or doing any activity that causes significant scalp perspiration (sports, saunas, etc.).
Are the injections painful?
Injections are not painful. Patients may experience mild discomfort, and we have various techniques to ensure the treatment is as painless and easy as possible.
