This article applies specifically to the Hair Improvement treatment plan.
Requirements may differ for other Maximus programs.
Hair growth is a gradual biological process. Most individuals experience changes in phases over time, and results vary based on factors such as age, genetics, treatment type, and overall scalp health.
Your clinician monitors your progress and adjusts your treatment plan based on how you respond.
Early Changes (0–3 Months)
In the early phase, many individuals notice:
reduced shedding
less hair in the shower or brush
a sense of stabilization, where thinning slows
Some people may also notice early thickening at the root, though this varies.
A temporary increase in shedding can occur as older hairs cycle out and new ones begin to grow. This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and typically improves over time.
Mid-Phase Changes (3–6+ Months)
As treatment continues, some individuals begin to notice:
thicker, stronger strands
increased density in previously thinning areas
small “baby hairs” at the hairline or crown
improved coverage in sparse areas
Progress may be subtle at first. Photo comparisons over time are often the most reliable way to track changes.
Long-Term Progress (6–12+ Months)
Hair growth takes time, and the most meaningful changes often occur with consistent treatment over several months.
Over time, individuals may experience:
improved overall density
better coverage in thinning areas
stronger, healthier hair
Responses vary, and not all areas respond equally. Your clinician will review your progress and make adjustments if needed.
Changes in Texture, Volume, and Scalp Health
Some individuals also notice:
improved scalp health
reduced irritation
changes in hair texture
fuller appearance due to thicker strands
These changes support overall hair quality and may complement regrowth.
If Progress Feels Slow
Slower or uneven progress does not necessarily mean the protocol isn’t working.
Hair growth cycles take months to shift, and visible changes often lag behind biological changes.
Your clinician may review:
scalp photos
your reported experience
changes in shedding or density
other factors that may influence growth
Adjustments may be recommended based on your response.
Ongoing Evaluation
Your clinician may request updated photos at regular intervals to monitor progress.
These check-ins help ensure your treatment plan remains appropriate and effective over time.
If you have questions about your progress or notice unexpected changes, you can message your clinician through your patient portal.
