If the problem is primarily hair thinning and falling without scalp symptoms, a trichologist specializing in hair and scalp health might be appropriate. Always check the specialist's specific qualifications and areas of expertise before booking.

Hair loss causes vary significantly between individuals. Simple causes like iron deficiency might be easily identified, while complex cases involving hormonal issues (like PCOS), nutritional deficiencies, or genetic factors require more thorough investigation.

It usually requires 3 to 6 sessions with a month or more between each session. One session might provide temporary tightening from reduced swelling, but the real contouring changes develop slowly over multiple treatments.
It can be tricky for sensitive, acne-prone skin. If you have active breakouts, the heat could potentially aggravate them. A good technician would avoid treating active acne spots, but if your skin is consistently reactive, this might not be the best first treatment option.
For Indian skin tones, there's a risk of developing dark spots or hyperpigmentation if the technician uses settings that are too high or treats the skin like lighter skin tones. The heat can irritate the skin and leave brown patches, particularly on the jaw area, which may take months to resolve.

The most critical aftercare step is consistent sunscreen use. Your skin is actively building new collagen after treatment, and sun exposure can disrupt this process and cause dark spots. On Indian skin, this risk is particularly significant, so diligent SPF application is essential to protect your investment and results.
A proper patch test involves a technician applying a few actual eyelash extensions with the adhesive glue near your outer lash line to check for allergic reactions, not just a quick dab of glue behind the ear.
You must wait at least 24-48 hours after the patch test to monitor for any delayed redness, swelling, or itching before proceeding with the full set of eyelash extensions.
Call salons directly to ask about their patch test policy before booking. A good salon will require you to come in for the test days before your actual appointment and will have clear safety protocols.
Consider it a red flag. Skipping the patch test significantly increases the risk of a severe allergic reaction and potential damage to your natural lashes.
It adds good bacteria to your skin to calm it down and make it stronger, but it's more of a helper than a main fix, especially for severe acne.
