Treatment Options at HEMAC

At HEMAC Aesthetic & Skin Clinic in Hawthorn East, our doctors provide personalised hair loss management. Treatment options may include:

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) – a procedure using components of your own blood that may stimulate natural repair and improve scalp health.
  • Growth factor-based therapies – including products such as AnteAGE®, designed to support hair and scalp condition.
  • Prescription medication – in appropriate cases, oral or topical medicines may be recommended.
  • Lifestyle and nutrition support – advice on hair-friendly habits and supplementation where needed.

What to Expect

  • Hair loss treatments usually require a series of sessions.
  • Improvement in hair quality or density may take several months, as the hair growth cycle is slow.
  • Results vary depending on the underlying cause, stage of hair loss, and individual response.
  • Not all patients are suitable for all treatments—your doctor will assess your options during consultation.

Suitability

PRP and growth factor–based therapies may be considered for:

  • Early-stage hair thinning
  • Patients who prefer non-surgical options
  • Men and women not suitable for hair transplant surgery

Safety and Risks

All medical treatments carry risks. Possible side effects of PRP include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Risks will be discussed during consultation.

Hair Loss Treatment – Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what’s causing my hair loss?
A consultation with our doctor will include history, examination, and may involve blood tests to identify contributing factors.

Does PRP regrow hair?
PRP may help support scalp health and stimulate natural growth processes, but results vary. Some patients notice improvements in thickness or density over time.

How long does it take to see results?
Hair growth cycles are slow. It may take several months to notice changes, and multiple sessions are usually required.

Are results permanent?
No. Hair continues to be influenced by age, hormones, and genetics. Maintenance treatments may be needed.

Is hair loss treatment safe for everyone?
Not always. Suitability depends on the type and cause of hair loss, your health, and other factors.
