About Hair Therapy
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.
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.
What You Must Do at Home
Results depend heavily on home care. Use a sulfate-free shampoo, avoid heat above 180 degrees, and sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. The professional should give you a written routine with product names, application order, and frequency. Skipping home steps cuts the effect of in-clinic sessions by roughly half.
What Happens in the First Appointment
A proper first appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. The therapist reviews your medical history, photographs the scalp under magnification, and checks density per square centimeter. You leave with a written plan describing technique, frequency, and expected timeline based on findings.
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.
When to Book a First Visit
Book an evaluation when you notice more than 100 strands falling per day for over 4 weeks, a widening parting line, or itching with flakes. Early-stage thinning responds faster to therapy. Waiting until bald patches appear usually means longer protocols, lower recovery rates, and a higher total cost across the full plan.
What to Ask Before You Hire
Ask who performs each step, their licence number, and whether a dermatologist supervises the case. Request the device model, the wavelength or needle depth, and the concentration of any injectable product. A clear answer to those three questions separates a clinical service from a basic spa add-on sold under the same name.
How to Track Progress Honestly
Ask for trichoscopy photos at session 1, session 8, and the final session, all taken at the same angle and lighting. Compare hair count per square centimetre, strand thickness in micrometres, and scalp coverage percentage. Numbers are more reliable than mirror checks, which are easily biased by haircut, shampoo timing, or room lighting.
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.
What You Must Do at Home
Home care drives half the result. Use a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, avoid daily heat above 180 degrees, and sleep on a silk pillowcase. Apply any prescribed serum exactly as instructed. Skip home microneedling unless your therapist specifically teaches you how.
