Injection Therapy FAQ

Q : How long does the treatment take?

A : The treatment is not long. However, you should plan to stay at our clinic for about 1 hour. This includes time for collection and processing the blood, letting the anesthesia take effect, the injection and aftercare instructions.

Q : How soon will I see the results?

A : Results begin to show 3 to 4 months after starting treatment and generally continue to improve with time as the hair cycle progresses. The human hair cycle includes phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen) and rest (telogen). During each anagen phase, follicles produce an entire hair shaft from tip to root. Treatment starts new cycles of growth.

Q : How many treatments do I need to complete?

A : The number of required treatments will depend on the patient’s condition and improvement goals. Four treatment sessions are generally recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart.

Q : Are the treatments safe?

A : Yes. Because the injection uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction and no possibility of a tainted blood product.

Q : Does the treatment hurt?

A : Our expert medical team uses precision anesthetic techniques allowing for a near painless solution to your hair loss. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. You will likely have minor swelling the day after your treatment.
