Depends on diagnosis
What it is
Every hair journey at Lumière begins with a doctor-led assessment — history, examination and, where indicated, blood tests — because thinning has causes, and the right treatment depends entirely on which one is yours.
Treatment follows diagnosis: non-surgical therapy, regenerative scalp treatment, prescription therapy where appropriate, and scalp needling. Where a surgical pathway is worth considering, planning is led by Dr Truong, who has subspecialty experience in hair and brow restoration.
Covers: Assessment and diagnosis, non-surgical treatment, regenerative options, surgical planning, brow restoration.

Risks and what to expect

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
How long results last
Response is measured over months, not weeks. Most plans run six to twelve months before an honest verdict — we tell you that up front.
