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.
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.
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.
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.
Hair therapy is a non-surgical set of clinical treatments that target scalp health, hair density, and strand quality. A session usually combines trichoscopy, deep cleansing, laser or LED photobiomodulation, and topical actives. Ask the professional to explain the protocol before booking, because each clinic builds its own sequence and that changes the result you can expect.
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.
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.
Mild scalp redness for 24 hours, light itching, and temporary shedding in week 2 are normal. Report any burning, scabbing, or swelling lasting beyond 48 hours. A trained therapist should explain risks in writing before starting, not after a problem appears.
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.
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.
