Hair Restoration

What to Expect
Hair restoration treatments support healthier follicles and stimulate new growth by activating your body’s natural repair processes. Mild tenderness, redness, or scalp sensitivity is normal immediately after treatment and typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Because hair growth occurs in cycles, results develop gradually. Increased shedding may occur early on — this is normal and often a sign the follicles are resetting. Visible improvements in thickness, density, and growth typically appear over the following weeks to months.

please follow the aftercare below.
Avoid Touching the Treated Area
Your scalp is in an active repair phase. Avoid touching, scratching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first 24 hours to reduce irritation and risk of infection.
Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Medications + Ice
Hair restoration works by activating your body’s natural healing response. Avoid ice + anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin for 3–5 days, unless otherwise directed. Acetaminophen may be used if needed.
Delay Hair Washing & Styling Products
Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours post-treatment. When cleared to wash, use a gentle, fragrance-free shampoo. Avoid dry shampoo, styling products, tight hairstyles, or heat tools for 48 hours.
Stay Hydrated & Support Healing
Drink plenty of water and follow any post-treatment skincare or supplement recommendations to support follicle health, collagen production, and recovery.
Avoid Strenuous Exercise & Heat
Avoid intense workouts, saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, and hot showers for 24–48 hours, as excess heat and sweat can increase inflammation and scalp sensitivity.
Protect the Scalp from the Sun
The scalp will be more sensitive to UV exposure. Avoid direct sun for 48 hours, and wear a loose-fitting hat if needed. Apply SPF only once approved by your provider.
Avoid Additional Treatments
Avoid facials, lasers, microneedling, chemical peels, scalp treatments, or other skin procedures for 1–2 weeks, unless cleared by your provider.
Expect Temporary Redness & Sensitivity
Redness, warmth, swelling, or scalp tenderness is normal and typically resolves within a few days as healing progresses.
FAQ
Results & Expectations
How long does it take to see results? Hair restoration is a progressive process. Early changes may be noticed within 6–8 weeks, with continued improvement over 3–6 months.
Is shedding after treatment normal? Yes. Temporary shedding can occur as follicles transition into a new growth phase. This is expected and typically short-lived.
How many treatments will I need? Most clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced over several months, followed by maintenance based on individual goals.
Will everyone get the same results? Results vary. Hair restoration works by stimulating your body’s natural growth response, so outcomes depend on factors like genetics, hormone balance, nutrition, and consistency with treatment.
Aftercare & Safety
Can I use hair products or heat styling tools? Avoid styling products, dry shampoo, tight hairstyles, and heat tools for at least 48 hours to minimize irritation and support healing. Avoid coloring, bleaching, or chemical treatments for at least 1–2 weeks to allow the scalp to fully heal.
What shampoo should I use after treatment? Use a gentle, fragrance-free, sulfate-free shampoo once cleared to wash (typically after 24 hours). Avoid clarifying, medicated, or anti-dandruff shampoos for at least one week unless recommended by your provider.
Can I use topical hair products or growth serums? Avoid topical treatments, oils, or growth products for at least 48 hours unless approved by your provider. Once cleared, consistent use of recommended products may help support results.
What should I watch for after treatment? Please reach out if you experience signs of infection (increasing redness, warmth, discharge), worsening pain after several days, or anything that feels unusual or concerning to you.
