Not every patient needs surgery. Many simply want to strengthen and preserve the hair they still have. Regenerative hair therapy is the umbrella category for in-office biologic treatments that stimulate living follicles without transplanting new ones. At our practice, this category includes:
These therapies are designed to support weakened follicles, improve scalp circulation, and slow progression in patients who still have active hair growth. Rather than replacing hair, regenerative therapy focuses on protecting what remains.
Dr. Andre Shomorony offers regenerative hair therapy for patients in Greenwich, CT, Wilton, CT, and New York City, as well as throughout Fairfield County, seeking medically guided, non-surgical hair preservation.
Regenerative therapy refers specifically to biologic injection treatments performed in-office that aim to stimulate miniaturized but living hair follicles. Hair follicles shrink over time in genetically driven hair loss. Before they disappear completely, they often produce thinner, shorter, weaker hair. This stage — called miniaturization — is where regenerative therapy is most effective. These treatments:
They do not create new follicles. They work only on hair that is still biologically active.
Dr. Shomorony evaluates pattern stability, donor reserves, and long-term trajectory before recommending any intervention, and treatment selection is based on follicular viability and stage of loss rather than trend or marketing language. Some patients pursue regenerative therapy as their primary treatment during early thinning. Others integrate it into a broader plan that may also include medical management, laser support, or surgical transplantation. The emphasis is strategic preservation.
Vitti Pure is a biologic regenerative therapy designed to support scalp health and follicular signaling through the delivery of concentrated extracellular matrix components. Derived from purified umbilical cord tissue, the formulation contains naturally occurring growth factors, exosomes, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that support tissue repair and cellular communication within the scalp. Unlike platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which relies on growth factors isolated from a patient’s own blood, Vitti Pure is prepared as a standardized biologic solution. This approach avoids variability related to individual blood composition and does not require a blood draw during treatment.
At Shomorony Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Andre Shomorony administers Vitti Pure through targeted scalp injections into areas of thinning hair. In some cases, it may also be delivered alongside microneedling techniques designed to enhance penetration into the scalp environment. As with other regenerative therapies, Vitti Pure does not create new hair follicles. Its role is to support follicles that are still biologically active but producing weaker or miniaturized hairs.
Treatment protocols typically involve an initial series of sessions spaced approximately one month apart, followed by maintenance treatments based on individual response and progression. Improvements in hair quality and density develop gradually as follicles respond to biologic stimulation. Vitti Pure may be incorporated into a broader hair preservation strategy that can also include medical therapy, PRP, exosome-based treatments, low-level laser therapy, or surgical transplantation depending on the stage of hair loss and long-term restoration goals.
Regenerative therapy is often appropriate for men and women noticing gradual thinning who wish to intervene before loss becomes advanced. You may be a candidate if:
You are less likely to benefit if:
Regenerative therapy is most powerful early, when hair is weakened but not gone.
Treatments are performed in-office and typically involve a series of targeted injections into thinning areas. Sessions are brief and require minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activity the same day. A series is often recommended initially, followed by maintenance based on response and progression. Improvement is gradual. Hair grows slowly, and biologic stimulation works within that timeline.
PRP is one type of regenerative therapy. This category includes PRP, exosomes, and other biologic injection treatments designed to stimulate existing follicles.
It may slow progression and strengthen existing follicles, but it does not eliminate genetic predisposition. Ongoing planning is often necessary.
Regenerative treatments work on follicles that are still alive, even if the hair they produce has become very thin, soft, or barely visible. If an area has fine, wispy, miniaturized hairs, there is often still biologic activity to stimulate, and improvement may be possible. However, in areas where follicles have completely disappeared—meaning the scalp is smooth and hair has not grown there for a prolonged period—regenerative therapy cannot recreate new follicles. In those cases, surgical transplantation is required to reintroduce permanent hair into the area. That said, the key distinction is actually not “thin vs bald,” but whether follicles are still present and viable. That determination is made during examination.
