Hair treatments are medical or aesthetic procedures designed to improve hair health, density and quality. The aim of hair treatments for hair loss, alopecia or weak hair is to restore the hair to its normal growth cycle, helping to prevent hair loss, stimulate the growth of inactive follicles and improve the thickness and density of existing hair.
At the clinic, hair treatments for men and women aim to:
- Reduce hair loss and stimulate growth.
- Nourish and strengthen and stimulate the growth of inactive follicles..
- Regenerate the scalp and improve its circulation.
- Increase hair shine, thickness and density of the hair.

Which hair treatment do you need?
At Ribe Clinic, we carry out an initial consultation to assess the cause and extent of hair loss and recommend a hair treatment, which may be used as monotherapy or as a combination of several techniques.
Types of hair treatments:
Hair treatment before and after
Why choose Ribe Clinic for hair treatment?
Dr Adriana Ribé takes an integrative and functional approach to hair treatments. This includes taking a medical history and carrying out a physical examination and, depending on the case, blood tests and genetic tests. The results of these assessments are used to select the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments.
Dr Adriana Ribé is an aesthetic doctor and also holds a Master’s degree in orthomolecular medicine, which helps her address certain concerns from within. Ribe Clinic in Barcelona also has the latest technologies applicable to hair treatments.
Hair treatments
Autologous stem and progenitor cell transplantation
At Ribe Clinic in Barcelona, we perform “autologous regenerative” therapy, or transplantation of stem and progenitor cells using the patient’s own tissues, as these contain the highest concentration of progenitor cells and can produce billions of cells with the potential to repair and regenerate.
Hair treatment with regenerative cells is very safe because the progenitor cells are obtained directly from the patient’s own body, there is no risk of rejection or other problems associated with embryonic stem cells.
Naturally and without harmful effects, the patient’s own cells help improve the skin of the scalp, increase the density of existing hair and stimulate the differentiation of new hair follicles.
This hair treatment is divided into the following steps:
- Step 1: The doctors will assess you and confirm whether you are a suitable candidate and could benefit from this hair treatment.
- Step 2: This hair treatment involves taking a skin biopsy (2–4 mm punch biopsy) and processing it to extract the progenitor cells.
- Step 3: The skin punch is collected in a sterile medium and centrifuged to separate the different cellular components. The concentration of stem and progenitor cells is then carefully collected. The resulting cells are suspended in saline solution.
- Step 4: These cells are injected through superficial punctures (mesotherapy) to open follicles and regenerate the hair by increasing the number of hair follicles and improving hair quality.
Results
Once the progenitor cells are injected into the patient’s treatment area, they begin to regenerate and revitalise the patient’s tissues, as well as help to activate existing stem cells. The patient will notice hair with better quality, greater thickness, and progressively, greater density.
Progenitor cells need time to regenerate and develop new cells. The results of this hair treatment become visible over several months and vary from patient to patient, depending on age, the immune system and current health status.
Hair mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a medical technique involving injections that may contain a wide range of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, nucleic acids and coenzymes, depending on each patient’s needs. It is applied to bald areas of the scalp and/or across the entire scalp, depending on the case.
In general, hair mesotherapy can help to reduce hair loss, promote hair growth by stimulating the activity of underactive follicles and strengthen the hair with trace elements and essential nutrients.
Which products are injected in this hair treatment?
The composition of hair mesotherapy is personalised according to the cause of the patient’s alopecia. This may include:
- Hormonal regulators of the reductase enzyme in androgenetic alopecia.
- Vasodilators that increase blood flow and support the development of the hair follicle, stimulating hair growth.
- Trace elements that support the production of growth factors and counteract oxidative stress.
- Epithelial regenerators: vitamins that improve follicle metabolism and strengthen the hair.
Sessions and frequency
In general, a session of this hair treatment lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.
The frequency ranges from 1 to 2 times per week and the initial duration of the hair treatment is 3 months long. Maintenance sessions may then be carried out every 15 or 30 days for a further 3 months.
Exosomes
Hair exosomes are extracellular vesicles released by cells (such as stem cells) that act as messengers to transport biological information, including growth factors.
When applied to the scalp, they:
- Stimulate the regeneration of hair follicles.
- Strengthen the hair and reduce hair loss.
- Promote hair growth.
- Improve hair health.
Hair treatment with exosomes is an innovative, minimally invasive hair therapy for hair loss and alopecia. Exosomes are obtained from plants or may be autologous (from the patient’s own blood).
The treatment requires 3 to 5 sessions: 1 session per month. At our clinic, maintenance is established according to the cause being treated.
LED laser
At Ribe Clinic in Barcelona, hair treatment with an LED cap is used as a complement to other hair treatments to address alopecia and hair loss, such as autologous regenerative cell transplantation, hair mesotherapy, exosomes and nutritional supplements.
It helps reduce inflammation of the scalp and stimulates blood circulation to the hair follicles. This combination supports the cellular regeneration needed for the growth of healthy, strong hair.
It is a comfortable hair treatment in which the patient experiences no discomfort and can resume normal activities immediately.
The treatment requires 1 or 2 sessions per week for 3 months.
At Ribe Clinic, some sessions are carried out at the clinic, after which we recommend that the patient obtains an LED cap to continue the hair treatment at home.
Nutritional supplements
A balanced diet adapted to each individual’s characteristics should be sufficient to provide all the nutrients needed for healthy hair.
However, situations such as stress, medication use, dieting, unhealthy habits, hormonal changes or other factors may make it necessary to use nutritional supplements for the hair.
In general, nutritional supplements for hair are formulated with sulphur-containing amino acids, zinc, vitamins B6 and B12, selenium, folic acid, dry extracts of black cumin and sprouted pea, probiotics, collagen precursors, turmeric, iron… which are fundamental for good hair health and, in some cases, provide essential support for keratin composition.
After an initial consultation, we will assess which supplement you need and whether it should be combined with other treatments.
