Capillus FAQ: When Should I See Results?

Each patient represents a unique case. Results may vary from patient to patient. Because Capillus laser caps are designed to stimulate the hair follicle, most immediate biological changes occur within the skin and are invisible to the naked eye. Patients typically report seeing visual results within 2 to 4 months of regular treatment.

The following is a general guideline of what to expect in your hair restoration journey.

0–3 Months: The first thing you may or may not notice is an increase in shedding. If this is the case, don’t worry. Initial hair shedding is actually a sign that the treatment is working – indicating that new anagen hairs are pushing out the older hairs to make way for a healthy new shaft of hair. Some itchiness might be experienced at this point in the process as the arrector pili muscles linked to the follicle contracts.

3–6 Months: Next, you will begin to notice a decrease in hair loss. After the first few weeks of using your device according to the instructions, you will notice that hair is not shedding as much as previously. Do not be discouraged if you don’t see significant change. Keep in mind that preventing the progression of hair loss is in itself a success. You may notice that your hair is slightly fuller in the areas that you had noticed thinning.

12 Months: This is the time to evaluate the results of laser therapy. We recommend you take another set of pictures and compare to those you took at the beginning.
