Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a regular Fotona treatment?
It is the same Fotona Er:YAG laser, but in SMOOTH mode and on the scalp. HAIRestart is about blood flow and activating the hair follicles, not about skin tightening in the face.
Does HAIRestart hurt?
No. You feel warmth and sometimes a light tingling on the scalp. No numbing is needed; we adjust the intensity to your sensitivity.
How many sessions do I need?
The protocol is 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. After that we recommend maintenance every 3 to 6 months to hold on to the result.
When will I see results?
Hair growth is a slow process. Most clients notice the first change (less shedding, more volume) after a few sessions; we assess the full effect 3 to 6 months after starting. Results vary from person to person.
Does HAIRestart work for hereditary hair loss?
Where hair is thinning but the follicles are still active, the treatment can help. In areas that are already completely bald there are no follicles left to activate, so HAIRestart is not useful. We assess this honestly during the consultation.
Can I combine HAIRestart with exosomes or mesotherapy?
Yes, we often do. The laser makes the scalp more receptive, so exosomes or mesotherapy are absorbed better. During the consultation we draw up a combination plan if it suits your situation.
Is there any downtime or aftercare?
There is no downtime. The scalp may feel warm or slightly red for a few hours. For the first 24 hours avoid hot showers, sauna and harsh styling products, and protect the scalp from the sun.
Is HAIRestart suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
As a precaution we do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Afterwards we do: post-pregnancy (postpartum) hair loss is one of the main indications for HAIRestart.
Which location offers HAIRestart?
Only at SKIN Oud-Zuid (Willemsparkweg 156, Amsterdam), where our Fotona laser is located.
