01  ·  Why this matters

Hair loss is rarely the dramatic, overnight thing the supplement adverts pretend it is. It begins as a sense of the parting widening. A beard that won’t fill out along the jawline however long you leave it. Hair on the pillow you don’t remember leaving there. The kind of slow change you photograph by accident and only notice later.

Most people don’t need a transplant. They need the follicles they already have to be properly fed.

Our regenerative protocols — polynucleotides, microneedling, and growth-factor mesotherapy — do exactly that. They reach the follicle through the skin, deliver the signals it needs to extend its active growth phase, and improve the blood supply that keeps existing hair on the head longer.

02  ·  The treatment

Regenerative biology, delivered to the root.

Each session blends one or more of three regenerative tools. Polynucleotides — purified DNA fragments — signal repair and growth at the follicle. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the scalp’s healing response and boost local blood flow. Peptide and growth-factor mesotherapy directly nourishes the dermal layer the follicles sit in.

The protocol is built around your starting point at consultation: degree of thinning, the type of loss, whether you’re treating scalp, beard, or both. Most clients run a course of three to four sessions, four to six weeks apart, then a maintenance pattern thereafter.

3–4 sessions
To Reach Visible Density A typical course runs across three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Most clients see reduced shedding within the first month and the first density changes between sessions two and three.
03  ·  Why Restart Medical

Clinical regenerative work, not high-street meso.

There’s a wide gap between a salon offering “hair mesotherapy” and a clinic-grade regenerative protocol. Here’s how we’re structured.

01

Branded Regenerative Products

We use well-known polynucleotide and peptide ranges with documented hair-growth use cases, never unbranded compounds.

02

Clinician-Delivered

Every injection is performed by a registered medical professional — not by an entry-level technician.

03

Scalp & Beard Both Treated

The protocol is calibrated for the area: scalp thinning, frontal hairline, crown, or patchy beard growth along the jawline.

04

Honest Stage Assessment

If your hair loss has progressed beyond what regenerative work can reasonably reverse, we’ll tell you, and refer if appropriate.

05

Combination Protocols

We can stack microneedling, polynucleotides, and peptides for stronger response in the same session when clinically indicated.

06

Discreet, Professional Rooms

Private treatment rooms suitable for clients who’d rather not advertise a hair appointment to a waiting room.

07

Two Clinic Locations

Clinics in Barnsley and London. Book wherever fits your week and your travel.

08

Tracked Progress

Standardised photography at each session means your progress is measurable, not just remembered.

05  ·  How a session works

Step by step.

From your initial scalp assessment through to ongoing maintenance — a measurable, well-paced course.

  1. 01

    Scalp & Hair Assessment

    We examine the scalp and follicles under magnification, identify the pattern and likely cause of loss, and capture baseline photography to track progress objectively.

    Step 1: Scalp & Hair Assessment
  2. 02

    Protocol Design

    Based on your stage, area, and goals, we map out a course — which products, how many sessions, what spacing, and any complementary aftercare or topical regimen.

    Step 2: Protocol Design
  3. 03

    Preparation & Numbing

    The area is cleansed; a topical anaesthetic is applied if requested. Most clients find numbing optional for the scalp, useful for the beard.

    Step 3: Preparation & Numbing
  4. 04

    Injection & Microneedling

    Polynucleotide and peptide products are delivered through a fine needle into the dermal layer, layered with mechanical microneedling where the protocol calls for it.

    Step 4: Injection & Microneedling
  5. 05

    Soothing & Photography

    A calming serum is applied to the treated area, and a standardised set of photographs is taken to compare against your baseline at the next session.

    Step 5: Soothing & Photography
  6. 06

    Schedule & Aftercare

    Your next session is booked at the right interval. You leave with written aftercare and direct contact for any post-session questions or scalp queries.

    Step 6: Schedule & Aftercare
06  ·  What to expect

What results can you realistically expect?

01

Reduced Shedding Within Weeks

Often the first noticeable change — less hair on the pillow, in the shower, and on the comb — typically within four to six weeks of starting.

02

Visible Density by Session 3–4

Existing hairs become thicker and finer hairs convert to terminal hairs across the treated zone, giving a denser visual coverage.

03

Beard Patches Filling In

Where regenerative work suits the cause of patchiness, jawline and cheek patches commonly fill more evenly over the course.

04

Healthier Scalp Skin

Improved local circulation means a calmer, less inflamed scalp — an underrated factor in keeping hair on the head for longer.

05

Measurable Progress

Standardised photography at each session means progress is documented, not guessed at. You can see what’s changing in your own scans.

06

Maintenance Keeps Results Stable

One or two top-up sessions a year typically holds the result. Without maintenance, the underlying loss pattern will eventually reassert itself.

07  ·  Is it safe?

08  ·  Who is suitable

Are you a candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are 18 or Older & In Good HealthGeneral good health is required for any injection-based scalp work.
  • Have Early to Moderate ThinningRegenerative therapy works best when there are still active follicles to stimulate — not on fully bald areas.
  • Have a Patchy or Slow-Growing BeardWhere follicles exist but produce thin or sparse hair, regenerative protocols often improve coverage.
  • Are Not Currently on Blood ThinnersSome medications need to be paused around treatment dates. We’ll review your medication list at consultation.
  • Are Not Pregnant or BreastfeedingWe pause regenerative injectables during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a routine precaution.
  • Not Sure Yet?A consultation with magnified scalp imaging is the easiest first step. Speak to our team →
09  ·  FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe scalp injections as a series of brief pinpricks, very tolerable without numbing. For beard work, a topical anaesthetic is available and commonly used. We pause whenever needed.

How is this different from a hair transplant?

A transplant moves hair follicles surgically from one part of the scalp to another. Regenerative therapy stimulates the follicles you already have. It’s non-surgical, has no downtime, and is appropriate for earlier stages of thinning.

How many sessions will I need?

A typical initial course is three to four sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Maintenance afterwards is usually one or two sessions per year to hold the result.

When will I see results?

Reduced shedding is often noticed first, within the opening weeks. Visible density changes usually appear between sessions two and three, with full effect at the three-to-six month mark.

Will the results last?

With light maintenance — one or two top-ups a year — yes. Without maintenance, the underlying biology of hair loss will eventually reassert itself, since the protocol stimulates follicles rather than permanently altering them.

Is there any downtime?

No formal downtime. There may be tiny pinpoint marks and mild redness for a few hours. You can return to work straight away. Avoid washing the treated area, intense exercise, saunas, and pools for 24 to 48 hours.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes — regenerative protocols sit comfortably alongside topical treatments, oral medications, and lifestyle interventions for hair loss. We’ll discuss your full plan at consultation.

Is it suitable for women as well as men?

Absolutely. Female-pattern thinning, post-partum shedding, and menopause-related changes all respond well when the underlying cause is one that regenerative therapy is suited to.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the protocol, the area treated, and the number of sessions. We provide fixed, transparent pricing in writing at consultation — no surprise charges, no upsells.

How do I get started?

Simply book a consultation or call 07506 689894. We’ll assess your stage, design your protocol, and book the first session.
