Frequently Asked Questions

At any given time, 30% of your hair is in a resting phase. GetHairMD™’s propriety “cool laser” technology is designed to increase microcirculation to the scalp, which in turn encourages increased cell growth and hair follicle activity.

This heightened blood flow promotes regrowth of recently lost or miniaturized hair, helps prevent further excessive hair shedding and thinning, and works to make your hair thicker, shinier, and healthier.

Being that the Clinical Hair Growth Laser treatments harness your body’s natural processes to encourage hair growth, the results yielded from our Clinical Hair Growth Laser are long-lasting.

Unlike other hair loss products, procedures, or treatments that require constant commitment and buy-in to maintain results, your hair will be in the active growth phase for 2-5 years after following our FDA-cleared treatment regimen. In other words, Clinical Hair Growth Laser treatments pay dividends even when your treatment plan comes to an end.

Clients experience 3 stages of results while undergoing Clinical Hair Growth Laser treatments.

You will move through these stages at your own pace, determined by how well their hair follicles respond:

• Stage 1:  You will notice a decrease in excessive hair loss. Typically, around 4-6 weeks.

• Stage 2: Their current hair becomes fuller, thicker, shinier, and healthier because the hair follicle is being maximized. This stage is typically between 6 weeks to 5 months.

• Stage 3: The diminished or miniaturized hair regrows into normal, thick, terminal hair.  Typically, between the 3rd to 6th month there is a visual benefit that both the patient and their friends will see.

While most people can get the treatment, there are some factors that come into play to determine if you’re an ideal candidate. Taken together, these include the number of grafts necessary to produce the desired results, the density and quality of the donor hair, hair texture, and the potential for future hair loss.

The GetHairMD™ team will be able to help to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this hair restoration procedure.

Yes. FUE Hair Transplant procedures are designed to deliver excellent results for both men and women.

Your physician will numb the area with a local anesthesia before beginning the procedure, so you will likely feel minimal discomfort while the hair transplant is being done. Some physicians also offer the option of mild sedation for the duration of the procedure, depending on your preference.

Once the numbing wears off and as the grafts heal, you may experience some tenderness around the donor site. This is a normal part of the healing process and should subside in a few days. Our GetHairMD™ team will provide you instructions and be available to answer any questions with regards to post-procedure care and pain management.

The GetHairMD™ team will determine at what frequency you should use the Cap based on your treatment plan. Then, all you need to do is get the cap and wear it according to the instructions given by our team.

The Dual Wave Energy Cap is usually worn for about 30 minutes per session, three times a week. Each session mimics a Clinical Hair Growth Laser session similar to what you’d get at one of our locations. Most people see very visible results within 12 weeks of use.

At first, you will notice some shedding. This is normal, and is a sign that the Dual Wave Energy Cap is combing out the weak hair so that stronger, thicker hair can thrive and regrow. Once the shedding phase is over, you can expect the hair regrowth to begin.

No. GetHairMD™ product formulations are medical-grade and must be approved for use by our physicians first.
