Timing and degree of change vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

Your practitioner will explain what to expect for any treatments proposed.

This depends on your scalp, hair pattern and chosen modalities. Some plans may involve a series of 4–6 sessions spaced over several weeks, followed by review. Your clinician will outline a proposed schedule and explain that it may be adjusted based on response.

No. These treatments are cosmetic and are not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent medical hair loss or scalp disease. If you have significant thinning, sudden shedding, patchy loss or concerning scalp symptoms, you should see your GP or dermatologist for medical assessment.

Possible side effects include:

• Short-term redness, sensitivity, mild itchiness or tightness
• Occasional dryness or flaking

Less common events, such as irritation, allergic reaction or infection, will be discussed if relevant to the approach being considered.

For suitable individuals, cosmetic scalp treatments can be well tolerated when performed by trained practitioners using appropriate products and devices (including, where required, those included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods). However, all procedures carry risk and no outcome can be guaranteed.

In some cases, yes. LED-based approaches may be included as part of a broader scalp-conditioning plan, provided timing and skin tolerance are appropriate. Your practitioner will advise on safe combinations and spacing.

It depends, but you may be asked to:

• Avoid washing your hair, excessive heat and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours, or as advised
• Follow any specific product and styling guidance for a short period

Your clinician will clarify what to expect after each session.

Some may be advised to defer or avoid cosmetic scalp treatments if you have:

• Active scalp infections, open wounds, or untreated inflammatory conditions (such as severe psoriasis or dermatitis)

• Recent surgery or procedures affecting the same area

• Significant, unexplained hair loss that has not been medically assessed

In these situations, medical review is recommended before cosmetic treatment is considered.

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.

Risks for non-surgical cosmetic procedures will be discussed in detail during consultation but may include, depending on the procedure:

• redness, swelling or bruising at the treatment site

• tenderness or temporary discomfort

• changes in skin colour or pigmentation

• infection or delayed healing

• uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes

Less common but more serious complications may occur.

Your practitioner will explain the specific risks relevant to the procedure being considered, as well as expected recovery considerations and aftercare requirements.

Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
