About Hair Therapy
Side Effects and What Is Normal
Mild redness for 12 to 24 hours after microneedling is normal. Temporary shedding between week 2 and week 4 is also expected and signals that weak hairs are being replaced. Report any burning, persistent swelling, or scalp crusting lasting over 48 hours, since those are signs the protocol or product concentration needs adjustment.
Realistic Results and Limits
Therapy can thicken miniaturised hairs and reactivate follicles that are still alive, but it cannot grow hair on a scar or on a long-standing bald area. Expect a 10 to 20 percent increase in density in responsive cases. Ask the professional to show you trichoscopy images from past clients with a similar starting profile.
What Happens in the First Appointment
The first appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. The specialist takes a medical history, performs a digital trichoscopy to count follicles per square centimetre, and measures sebum and pH. You leave with a written diagnosis, a baseline photo set under standardised lighting, and a treatment plan that lists the number of sessions recommended.
Red Flags When Comparing Providers
Avoid providers who promise full restoration, skip scalp analysis, or sell large packages before measuring baseline density. Also avoid anyone who discourages medical review. Hair therapy supports medical care; it should never replace a dermatologist when the cause is medical.
Price Drivers You Should Understand
Price varies with technique, device quality, session length, and the practitioner's training. Packages of 10 sessions usually cost less per visit than single bookings. Beware of very low prices, since cheap LED panels or shared operators often signal poor outcomes.
How Many Sessions Are Typical
Most plans call for 8 to 12 sessions over 4 to 6 months, then maintenance every 4 to 8 weeks. Exact numbers depend on diagnosis, age, and consistency with home care. Pause and reassess if no change shows after 6 months of treatment.
When to Book a First Visit
Book a first visit when you notice more than 100 hairs falling daily, visible widening of the part, or new scalp patches showing through. Early action matters. Waiting until follicles are dormant for over 2 years usually limits what therapy can restore.
Red Flags When Comparing Providers
Avoid providers who skip trichoscopy, sell large prepaid packages before measuring your scalp, or promise full regrowth on a scar. Also avoid anyone who cannot name the active ingredient in their serum or the wavelength of their laser. Clear documentation and device labels are basic, not optional, in a clinical hair therapy service.
Price Drivers You Should Understand
Price depends on the techniques included, the number of sessions, and the products applied. A single session can range widely because some clinics bundle LED, microneedling, and topical serum while others charge each step separately. Ask for an all-in quote per session and the total cost of the full plan, not a starting price.
How Many Sessions Are Typical
Most plans run from 8 to 16 sessions, spaced every 7 to 15 days. Maintenance sessions every 30 to 60 days are common after the initial phase. Total visible change usually appears between month 3 and month 6. Ask for a written timeline with photos so you can compare results objectively rather than relying on memory.
