Q: My hair is visibly thinning. I guess it is menopause and general stress. Scalp serums and pills don’t work and I don’t want a hair transplant! What gives?
A: A friend has seen impressive results with Calecim Advanced Hair System, a stem cell serum (containing thousands of proteins, growth factors and exosomes) that is microneedled into the scalp to revitalize dormant follicles.
It is offered in six weekly treatments (some may require up to 12) in cosmetic clinics.

She recommends Calecim Advanced Hair System, a stem cell serum.
Doctors are impressed by its clinically supported ability to stimulate hair growth and quality and reduce scalp inflammation in women and men.
The scalp will be intensely prickled with a dermatological stamp (it is quite painful) before massaging the serum. Results take between six and 12 weeks to appear.
You can also use a home kit, £315, but their Derma-Stamp needles are shorter and the technique requires a lot of precision, so you may want to go pro (from £250 per session). For kits and clinics, visit calecimprofessional.com.
