Hair growth changes gradually. Most people experience several phases of improvement over the course of treatment, and the timeline varies depending on factors like age, genetics, treatment type, and overall scalp health. Your clinician monitors your progress and adjusts your plan based on how you respond.
Early Changes (0–3 Months)
In the early phase, people often notice:
Reduced shedding
Less hair in the shower or brush
A feeling of “stabilization,” where thinning slows
Some individuals also see early signs of increased thickness at the root, though this varies.
A temporary increase in shedding can happen as older hairs cycle out and new ones begin to grow. This is a normal part of the process and typically improves on its own.
Mid-Phase Changes (3–6+ Months)
As treatment continues, you may begin noticing:
Thicker, stronger strands
Restored density in areas that were thinning
Small “baby hairs” at the hairline or crown
Improved coverage in previously sparse areas
Progress may be subtle at first. Photo comparisons taken over time are often the clearest way to track changes.
Long-Term Progress (6–12+ Months)
Hair growth is a slow biological process. Many people see their most meaningful improvements when they stay consistent with their treatment plan and continue follow-up with their clinician.
Over time, individuals may experience:
Improved overall density
Better coverage in previously thinning areas
Enhanced hair strength and texture
Responses vary, and not all areas respond equally. Your clinician will review your progress and make adjustments if needed.
Changes in Texture, Volume, or Scalp Health
Some people also notice:
A healthier scalp environment
Reduced irritation
Improved hair texture
Fuller appearance due to increased strand thickness
These changes support overall hair quality and may complement regrowth.
If Progress Feels Slow
Slow or uneven progress doesn’t necessarily mean the protocol isn’t working. Hair cycles take months to shift, and visual changes often lag behind biological changes.
Your clinician will review:
Scalp photos
Your reported experience
Any changes in shedding or density
Other factors that may influence hair growth
Adjustments may be recommended depending on your response.
Ongoing Evaluation
Clinicians may ask for updated photos at regular intervals. These check-ins help ensure your treatment plan remains appropriate and effective.
If things feel different than expected or you have questions about your progress, you can message your clinician through your patient portal.
