Advanced Hair Treatments for Stronger, Healthier Hair Growth
Hair loss can affect confidence at any stage of life. If it begins as subtle thinning or more noticeable shedding, many people describe feeling disconnected from their appearance and frustrated by a lack of clear answers. At The Hair Clinic, we focus on evidence-based hair treatments that support scalp health, stimulate hair follicles, and create the right conditions for regrowth where possible.
Before & After of Hair Treatment in New Zealand
Led by Dr Mark Morunga, our approach is grounded in careful diagnosis, realistic expectations, and personalised treatment planning. While not every form of hair loss is reversible, modern regenerative therapies can make a meaningful difference for many patients when used appropriately and consistently.
This article explores how advanced hair treatments can help revitalise the scalp, strengthen existing hair, and support regrowth as part of a structured, long-term plan.
Hair Loss Coping Strategies & Support
Healthy hair growth depends on several factors working together. Hair follicles require good blood supply, balanced growth signals, and a calm scalp environment. When inflammation, hormonal changes, stress, illness, or genetics disrupt this balance, hair growth can slow or follicles may enter a prolonged resting phase.
At The Hair Clinic, we commonly see conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, stress-related shedding, postpartum hair loss, and thinning following illness or surgery. Each requires a different strategy, which is why treatment begins with a thorough consultation and scalp assessment.

Regenerative Treatments at The Hair Clinic
Our clinic specialises in regenerative therapies that use the body’s own biological signals to support hair growth. These treatments do not involve surgery and are designed to work with your natural hair cycle.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors. These signals help improve blood flow to the scalp and encourage follicles to re-enter the growth phase.
PRP is often recommended for early to moderate thinning and as part of maintenance following other treatments. At The Hair Clinic, PRP is typically delivered as a course rather than a one-off session. We usually recommend three to six treatments, with many patients choosing packages of six to maximise consistency and results.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
PRF is an advanced form of platelet therapy that creates a fibrin matrix, allowing growth factors to be released more slowly over time. This extended release can provide longer-lasting stimulation to hair follicles compared with standard PRP.
PRF is particularly helpful for patients with pattern hair loss or ongoing shedding who require sustained support. Like PRP, PRF works best as a course of treatment rather than a single session.
Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC)
GFC therapy delivers a highly purified, cell-free concentration of growth factors directly to the scalp. This treatment targets follicle metabolism and scalp circulation and is often chosen by patients seeking a potent, medical-grade option.
At The Hair Clinic, GFC is commonly offered in packages of six, with three to six treatments recommended depending on the severity and type of hair loss. GFC can also be combined with other therapies for enhanced outcomes.

Exosome therapy
Exosome therapy focuses on improving scalp health by delivering signalling molecules that help reduce inflammation and support follicle activity. It is often used for stress-related shedding, postpartum hair loss, and as a complementary treatment alongside PRP, PRF, or GFC.
Exosomes can also play a role in post-transplant care and maintenance.
Why treatment consistency matters
Hair growth is slow and cyclical. It takes time for follicles to respond to treatment and for visible changes to appear. This is why we recommend structured treatment plans rather than isolated sessions.
Patients who commit to a course of treatment, such as a package of six PRP or GFC sessions, often achieve more stable and noticeable improvements. Consistency allows growth signals to build over time and supports follicles through multiple growth cycles.
That said, it is important to be clear that results vary. Hair loss that is very advanced, long-standing, or due to irreversible follicle damage may not respond significantly to treatment. We discuss this openly during consultation so expectations remain realistic.
Supporting treatment with lifestyle care
Clinical treatments work best when supported by good overall health. Factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress management, and scalp care all influence hair growth.
While lifestyle changes alone may not reverse hair loss, they can improve the effectiveness of medical treatments. At The Hair Clinic, we often provide guidance on supporting hair regrowth alongside in-clinic therapies.
This holistic approach is part of our broader philosophy of medical hair restoration.
A personalised path to healthier hair
No two patients experience hair loss in the same way. Age, genetics, hormones, health history, and lifestyle all play a role. That is why treatment at The Hair Clinic is always tailored.
During your consultation, Dr Morunga and the clinical team will assess your scalp, review your history, and discuss the most appropriate treatment options. This may involve PRP, PRF, GFC, exosome therapy, or a combination, delivered over a carefully planned timeline.
We are clear that there are no guarantees. Our role is to offer evidence-based treatments, honest advice, and ongoing support so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Taking the next step
Hair loss can feel isolating, but effective support is available. Whether you are noticing early thinning or seeking to strengthen existing hair, regenerative treatments may help revitalise your scalp and improve hair quality.
If you are considering treatment, we invite you to book an online hair growth consultation with The Hair Clinic. Together, we can explore whether hair restoration is right for you and develop a plan that aligns with your goals and expectations.
