If you've noticed more hair in your brush or shower drain since entering perimenopause, you're not alone. Hair changes during this time happens to more than 40% of women and it's frustrating, especially when you're already navigating so many other shifts in your body. Jet Plasma, a gentle, non-invasive treatment, can help support your hair's growth cycle. At OLIS SKIN, we've seen how hormonal hair loss affects people's confidence, and we're always looking for safe, effective options that actually work. Read on to see if Jet Plasma for hair might be right for your journey.
FAQ
Can Jet Plasma help with menopause hair loss?
Early clinical studies show Jet Plasma therapy may help improve hair density by stimulating blood flow to hair follicles and encouraging cellular activity at the scalp level. At OLIS SKIN, Jet Plasma is often combined with other therapies like epigenetic testing, exosomes, and targeted actives to create the most effective treatment plan for hormonal hair loss.
How does Jet Plasma work for hair restoration?
Jet Plasma activates dormant follicles by stimulating circulation and creating micro-pathways in the scalp that allow growth factors and serums to absorb more deeply. This improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair roots while the plasma itself helps reduce scalp inflammation.
Is Jet Plasma safe for hormonal hair loss?
Current research suggests Jet Plasma treatments are well-tolerated with minimal side effects. However, hormonal hair loss can be complex, which is why providers often recommend comprehensive approaches that may include epigenetic testing to identify underlying factors affecting your hair health.

Why Perimenopause and Menopause Cause Hair Loss
When your estrogen levels start dropping during perimenopause and menopause, your hair follicles become more sensitive to DHT, a hormone that can shrink follicles and make hair grow for shorter periods. This means your hair gets thinner and eventually some follicles stop producing hair altogether.
This usually happens gradually. You might notice your ponytail feels thinner or your part looks wider, but there aren't obvious bald spots like with other types of hair loss. Instead, you lose overall density. And it can start years before your periods actually stop, which catches many people off guard.
How Jet Plasma Targets Hair Loss at the Cellular Level
Jet Plasma works differently than traditional hair loss treatments because it tackles multiple issues at once. The technology creates a controlled plasma field that wakes up dormant hair follicles and improves blood flow to your scalp.
Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients reach your hair roots, which is important since poor blood flow often contributes to thinning during menopause. The plasma also stimulates specific cells in your follicles that are responsible for starting new growth cycles.
Jet Plasma creates tiny pathways in your scalp that let exosomes, growth factors and other active ingredients absorb deeper (no needles needed).
The treatments also reduce bacteria and inflammation on your scalp, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
What the Research Says About Jet Plasma for Hair Loss
The research on Jet Plasma for hair loss shows encouraging results, especially for the type of thinning that happens during hormonal changes. A recent 2025 study found that people using Jet Plasma saw measurable improvements in hair density, and most reported better hair growth overall.
The studies show Jet Plasma is well-tolerated with very few side effects. Unlike some traditional hair loss treatments that can cause unwanted effects, Jet Plasma works by improving blood flow to your scalp. This better circulation helps deliver nutrients to hair follicles and encourages the natural growth factors your body needs for healthy hair.
At OLIS SKIN, Nurse Jen has seen these benefits work incredibly well for clients dealing with hormonal hair changes.
What to Expect During Jet Plasma Hair Treatments
A Jet Plasma session feels like gentle tingling or warmth as the device glides over your scalp (most people find it relaxing). The treatment takes about 30-45 minutes, and you can return to your normal day immediately afterward.
Most people need several sessions spaced a few weeks apart to see meaningful results. Hair grows slowly, so you're typically looking at 3-6 months to notice real changes in density and thickness. The timeline varies depending on how advanced your hair loss is and how your body responds to treatment.
During your first visit, expect to discuss your hair history, any medications you're taking, and what changes you've noticed. This helps determine the best treatment schedule for your situation.
Why OLIS SKIN Combines Multiple Hair Restoration Approaches
Hair loss during menopause isn't just about hormones (stress, genetics, nutrition deficiencies, and environmental factors can all play a role). That's why OLIS SKIN starts with epigenetic testing to identify which factors beyond hormones might be affecting your hair health.
This testing reveals whether things like nutrient absorption issues, chronic inflammation, or stress responses are contributing to your hair loss. With that information, Nurse Jen can recommend specific supplements, lifestyle adjustments, or additional treatments that address your root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
Clients benefit from the exosomes or growth factors as part of their treatment plan, in addition to LED red light therapy during sessions. The goal is creating a comprehensive approach that makes sense for your body and your life, not just following a standard protocol.
Who's a Good Candidate for Jet Plasma Hair Loss Treatments
Jet Plasma can work for various stages of hair loss, from early thinning to more advanced areas where follicles have gone dormant. If you're noticing your hair feels less dense overall, your part is getting wider, or you have areas with minimal growth, Jet Plasma may help stimulate those follicles.
For people with diffuse thinning (where you still have hair but it's gotten thinner and weaker), results typically come faster. Areas with dormant follicles or more significant hair loss can still respond to treatment, but it may take longer and require more sessions to see meaningful changes. Results vary based on how long you've been experiencing hair loss and your individual response to treatment, as well as how well you commit to home care.
The best candidates understand that hair restoration is a commitment. This means showing up for regular sessions, following through with recommended home care, and having realistic expectations about timelines.
Treatment Timeline for Jet Plasma Hair Restoration
Most people need 6-8 sessions initially, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 2-3 months. This means your initial treatment phase typically spans 4-6 months, then you transition to less frequent sessions to maintain your results.
Some people start seeing changes in hair texture and reduced shedding within the first few weeks, but visible density improvements usually take 3-4 months of consistent sessions. It's important to plan for the full treatment series rather than expecting results after just one or two sessions.
During your consultation, Nurse Jen discusses the realistic timeline for your specific situation so you know what to expect. Once you establish your results, maintenance sessions are less frequent than the initial treatment phase.
Potential Side Effects and Safety Considerations
Jet Plasma is considered a low-risk treatment with minimal side effects reported in clinical studies. Most people experience only temporary redness on the scalp that fades within an hour or two after treatment (similar to what you might see after a facial).
Some people notice slight scalp sensitivity for a day or two following treatment, but this is typically mild and doesn't interfere with normal activities. Because Jet Plasma doesn't involve needles or invasive procedures, there's no risk of infection and there is no downtime.
However, if you have active scalp conditions, open wounds, or certain medical devices like pacemakers, you'll need to discuss these with your provider before starting treatment. You can book a consultation with Nurse Jen at OLIS SKIN to discuss your goals and ensure you are a great candidate.
