How long does a hair patch last?
A hair patch is not a one-time fitting — systems need periodic re-securing and refreshing, and how often depends on the attachment method used and how fast your own hair grows. The servicing interval is set for you at the fitting rather than being a standard figure, so it is the number to ask for before you commit, because it defines the ongoing cost.
The honest framing: it is serviced, not just fitted
The question people mean is usually "how long until I have to spend again", and for a hair system the answer is an interval rather than an expiry date.
Systems need periodic re-securing and refreshing. How often depends on:
- The attachment method used for your system.
- How fast your own hair grows, since growth underneath is what loosens the attachment over time.
The interval is set for you at the fitting.
Why that number is the one to ask for
It is what turns a fitting price into an annual cost. Two systems with the same upfront figure and different servicing intervals are not the same purchase, and the difference compounds every year.
Ask at the fitting: how often, what each service visit involves, and what it costs.
Skipping servicing has a cost beyond appearance
A properly fitted and regularly serviced system should not damage your own hair or scalp. What causes problems is specific:
- Persistent tension.
- Poor hygiene underneath.
- Leaving a system unserviced for too long.
That is why the scalp is checked at every service visit — the appointment is partly maintenance of the system and partly a look at what is underneath it.
Daily life
Most day-to-day activity is fine, but what is safe depends on the attachment method. You are given specific instructions for your system at the fitting rather than general advice, and swimming in particular is worth asking about directly.
One condition that has to be treated first
A patch cannot be fitted over an active dandruff or irritated scalp condition. It is treated first — fitting a system over an inflamed or flaking scalp makes both problems worse.
What it is not
A hair patch is an external, non-surgical system fitted over the scalp, and it can be removed. It is not a transplant, which relocates your own follicles, and The Aesthetic Edge does not offer hair transplant.
