About Hair Therapy
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What Hair Therapy Covers
Hair therapy is a set of scalp and strand treatments that address thinning, breakage, and dryness using clinical methods. It covers scalp exfoliation, low-level light, topical actives, and growth-supporting techniques. Ask each provider what their version includes before booking.
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.
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.
Core Techniques You Should Know
Common techniques include microneedling at 0.5 to 1.5 mm depth, red light panels at 650 to 850 nm, growth-factor topicals, and manual scalp massage. Each method targets a different cause. A good provider explains which ones fit your diagnosis and why.
