What to expect, month by month
A course of treatment is a process, not a switch. Here is an honest walk through a typical six session course, including the parts other clinics tend to leave out, so you know what is normal at each stage.
Baseline scan and photography
Your first session begins with AI scalp analysis to establish a baseline, and structured photography from set angles. This is the reference everything later is measured against, so you are comparing against a record, not a memory.
Possible increased shedding, and why it is not a bad sign
Some people notice more shedding in the first few weeks. It has an unglamorous nickname, the dread shed, and it can be unnerving. It is often a sign of follicles being nudged out of their resting phase to restart their cycle, and it typically settles. We will have flagged this before it happens so it does not catch you off guard.
Early changes are usually felt before they are seen
This is the quiet phase. Before anything is obvious in the mirror, people often notice less hair in the shower, less on the pillow, and a change in how their hair feels or holds. Visible density takes longer, because hair grows slowly. Patience here is part of the process.
Visible change typically begins to emerge
This is usually when visible change starts to show. At your sixth session we repeat the structured photography and compare it, from the same set angles, against your month 0 baseline, so any change is documented rather than guessed at.
An honest review: continue, maintain, or stop
We look at your scan and photographs together and give you a straight recommendation: whether to continue, move to a lighter maintenance rhythm, or stop. If stopping is the honest answer, we will say so.
Every scalp responds differently. This timeline is a general guide, not a promise. Some people move faster, some slower, and some need a different approach, which is exactly why we measure rather than assume.
