About Hair Therapy
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.
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.
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.
Core Techniques You Should Know
The most common techniques are microneedling at 0.5 to 1.5 mm depth, low-level laser therapy at 650 to 905 nm, mesotherapy with minoxidil or peptides, and carboxytherapy. Each method targets a different layer of the scalp. Ask which device brand the clinic uses, because wavelength and needle depth change the evidence behind the treatment.
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.
What to Ask Before You Hire
Ask who performs each session, what training they hold, and whether a trichologist reviews your case. Request the device brand and wavelength. Confirm photos and measurements will be taken at each visit so progress is documented, not guessed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
