Regenerative hair treatments are easy to market and hard to evaluate from the outside. These ten questions help you judge whether a clinic is being straight with you.
1. What exactly is being injected or applied?
Ask for the product name, its source, and how it is stored. A reputable clinic will answer without hesitation. Vague answers are a red flag.
2. Who performs the procedure?
Confirm it is a doctor or a trained clinician working under direct medical supervision. Ask about their experience with scalp treatments specifically.
3. What type and stage of hair loss do I have?
You should leave the consultation with a diagnosis, not just a treatment plan. If nobody has examined your scalp closely, be cautious. Read about the types of hair loss first.
4. Am I actually a good candidate?
A good clinic turns people away. Ask directly whether your loss is too advanced or whether another cause needs treating first. Our candidacy checklist covers the basics.
5. What results are realistic for someone like me?
Listen for honest language: “may”, “some patients”, “results vary”. Be wary of anyone promising a specific outcome.
6. How many sessions, and what happens if I do not respond?
There should be a review point, usually around three to six months, where the doctor tells you honestly whether it is working. See the results timeline.
7. Would medication or PRP be a better first step?
Sometimes the cheapest option is the right one. A clinic that offers several treatments can give a less biased answer. Compare exosomes vs PRP.
8. What are the side effects and how do you manage them?
You want to hear about redness, swelling, infection risk and allergic reaction, plus a clear route to contact the clinic. Details on our safety page.
9. What is the full cost, and what does it include?
Get it in writing. Ask whether numbing, follow-up reviews and photographs are included. Read how cost is determined.
10. What aftercare do I need to follow?
Simple but important. If the clinic does not give you written aftercare instructions, ask for them.
