Q: My hair is visibly thinning. I assume it’s 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 had impressive results from Calecim Advanced Hair System — a stem cell serum (containing thousands of proteins, growth factors and exosomes) that is microneedled into the scalp to re-energise dormant follicles.
It’s offered as six weekly treatments (some may need as many as 12) in cosmetic clinics.

She recommends Calecim Advanced Hair System — a stem cell serum
Doctors are impressed by its clinically-backed ability to boost hair growth and quality and reduce scalp inflammation in women and men.
Your scalp will be intensively needled with a derma-stamp (it’s pretty painful) before the serum is massaged in. Results take six to 12 weeks to appear.
You can also use a home kit, £315, but its derma-stamp needles are shorter and the technique requires a lot of precision, so you may prefer to go pro (from £250 per session). For kits and clinics, go to calecimprofessional.com.
