CONCERN
Thinning hair. Honest, gradual support for the right candidates.
Thinning hair is a concern that brings many clients to Plumerian Aesthetics, often after years of trying topical products with mixed results. At Plumerian Aesthetics in Bentleigh, AHPRA registered cosmetic nurse Melia offers regenerative scalp therapy that supports the natural hair growth cycle. The first thing we want to be honest about. This approach works best when started early in hair concerns. Once hair follicles are no longer active, no treatment can revive them. Realistic expectations and early action matter.

What causes this concern
Hair thinning has many possible contributors. Female pattern thinning, which is the most common in women, presents as gradual diffuse thinning across the crown. It often has a genetic component. Hormonal changes, including perimenopause and menopause, can accelerate thinning. Stress, nutrition, thyroid function, and certain medications can contribute too. Telogen effluvium, a temporary diffuse shedding, can follow significant stress or illness. Identifying the cause is essential because treatment effectiveness depends on what is driving the thinning and whether active follicles remain.

- Platelet Scalp Therapy: using components from your own blood to support the natural hair growth cycle. Most effective when started early. Most clients begin noticing changes around 3 to 4 months in

What to expect
Results from scalp therapy are gradual. Most clients begin noticing changes around 3 to 4 months in, with continued improvement over the treatment course. A typical initial course involves 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance. We are honest about what we think your hair can realistically achieve. If we do not think this approach is right for you, we will tell you and may suggest seeing a trichologist or doctor instead.
Frequently asked questions
Will this regrow hair I have already lost?
Sometimes, partially. Scalp therapy works by supporting hair follicles that are still alive, even if they are dormant or producing thinner hair. Once follicles are no longer present at all, no treatment can bring them back. Early action matters.
How many treatments will I need?
A typical initial course is 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months. Your specific plan is discussed at consultation.
Is there any downtime?
Minimal. Some clients have mild scalp tenderness for a day or two after treatment. Most return to normal activities the same day.
What about my receding hairline?
Receding hairlines can sometimes be supported by scalp therapy, depending on the cause and how much active follicle activity remains. We discuss your specific pattern at consultation.
Is this suitable for hair loss after pregnancy or menopause?
It depends on the underlying cause. Postpartum shedding often resolves on its own. Hair changes related to menopause can sometimes benefit from scalp therapy, often combined with attention to overall hormonal health. We assess at consultation.
When should I see a doctor instead?
If thinning is sudden, accompanied by other symptoms, or you have a family history of significant hair loss, seeing a doctor or trichologist for assessment is important. We will refer you on if we think that is the right step.
