Professional hair treatment includes the use of professional cosmetics and the application of new methods that give quick results. Such therapy is divided into:

  • massage – relieves muscle tension, promotes better blood circulation, increases metabolism and hair growth;
  • mesotherapy procedure – the introduction of medicinal preparations into the scalp, which is effective in cases of severe hair loss;
  • acupuncture manipulations that stimulate hair growth;
  • hardware impact – vacuum massage, microcurrent treatment, galvanic therapy, microionphoresis;
  • hair follicle transplantation.

Hardware treatment, in addition to the strengthening effect, promotes hair nutrition, normalizes blood circulation, ensures rapid lymph drainage and improves maximum penetration of medicinal substances. Professional hair treatment is a combination of vitamin complexes, medicinal masks, emulsions, serums, etc.

Hair treatment in the salon

Hair treatment in the salon is carried out using professional products from leading global brands. Specialists will not only put your curls in order, but also tell you about proper hair care, select cosmetics suitable for your type. The best methods are recognized as lamination and reconstruction.

Hair treatment in a salon with lamination helps to restore frequently dyed and permed hair. The essence of the technology is to apply a special composition with biologically active substances and proteins. The undoubted advantage of the method is that each hair is covered with a protective film, and among the disadvantages is the short duration of action (3-6 weeks). Another service has appeared - keratinization, which is similar to the previous method. Keratinization heals hair from the inside, and the effect lasts up to 6 months.

Hair treatment in a salon using the reconstruction method includes a complex effect of professional products (shampoo, mask, serums, etc.). Here, much depends on the level of the master, who individually selects medical cosmetics that correspond to your problem. This method will restore the beauty and health of your hair, but can take a lot of time.

Intensive hair treatment

Intensive hair treatment is a set of measures that includes the impact on hair with individually selected treatment products, healing of internal organs and the use of specialized techniques. As mentioned earlier, it is impossible to achieve healthy hair without eliminating internal causes. Correctly selected treatment cosmetics will also return your uniqueness and self-confidence.

In some cases, a consultation with a doctor is necessary, who will prescribe intensive hair treatment in the form of homeopathic substances, laser therapy, hardware techniques, or hair transplantation.

Japanese Hair Treatment

Japanese hair treatment is carried out only in a hairdressing salon using Japanese medicinal products. The uniqueness of the method lies in natural, environmentally friendly ingredients, carefully selected. The products do not contain alkali, fragrances, coloring components, which allows them to be recommended even to pregnant women. Advanced nanotechnology and patented formulas of biologically active substances include extracts of seaweed, honey, bamboo, cypress, silk, wheat, orange oil, etc.

Japanese hair treatment is divided into four stages:

  • a trichologist treats hair from the inside, moisturizes and nourishes it at the molecular level using a serum to thicken the hair and restore the protein structure;
  • external regeneration – smoothing with return of softness, elasticity, silkiness;
  • SPA methods for the scalp – getting rid of flaking, dandruff, stimulating hair growth;
  • recommendations for hair care with individual selection of treatment products.

Hair treatment with darsonval

Hair treatment with darsonval is carried out in clinics, beauty salons and at home. The therapeutic effect of the device is observed on average after 15 procedures. Hair treatment with darsonval helps to forget about hair and scalp problems. The device operates on a weak high-frequency pulse current and voltage. Patients experience:

  • improving blood and lymph circulation;
  • reduction of sebum secretion;
  • strengthening and accelerating hair growth;
  • getting rid of dandruff.

Various attachments allow making the therapy more pleasant and relaxing. Hair should be washed and dried before the procedure. The metal brush of the device is degreased with alcohol. It is not advisable to have metal items on the body during the session.

Hair treatment with darsonval is contraindicated:

  • pregnant women;
  • for bleeding and blood clotting disorders;
  • if you have a pacemaker;
  • cardiac arrhythmias;
  • malignant neoplasms;
  • epileptics;
  • in case of individual intolerance to electric current.

Ultrasound hair treatment

Ultrasound hair treatment is performed by creating high-frequency vibrations, which allows cosmetic products to easily penetrate damaged hair (ultrasound transforms medicinal substances into tiny gaseous particles).

Hair treatment with ultrasound combined with infrared radiation is aimed at rejuvenation, restoration and prevention of hair loss. The procedures are performed using special equipment available in beauty salons. At the same time, there is no increase in temperature in the area of contact with the hair.

Ultrasonic hair treatment has become available at home thanks to an ultrasonic iron, which facilitates deep penetration of medicinal compounds into the hair structure.

Hair Treatment with Stem Cells

Hair treatment with stem cells renews the physiological process of hair growth. A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to differentiate and turn into a normal cell. Hair treatment with stem cells brings a visible effect even in case of baldness, if the hair loss was not caused by hormonal changes. Stem cells activate the growth of nerve endings and blood vessels. An increase in the number of blood vessels has a beneficial effect on skin color.

The procedure itself is not traumatic, but before introducing the cells, you should make sure that they are tested for hepatitis, papilloma and herpes viruses, and AIDS. Stem cells must be clean of all possible viruses and must not contain histocompatibility antigens to avoid allergies and rejection.

Hair treatment with nitrogen

Hair treatment with nitrogen or cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen helps to freeze skin areas. Local treatment is used in cases of alopecia, oily seborrhea with parallel general strengthening treatment, taking vitamins. Liquid nitrogen is also used to massage the scalp.

Hair treatment with nitrogen for baldness is carried out by local treatment for 2 minutes. The course includes up to 20 procedures with an interval of several days.

Treatment of hair with nitrogen at low temperatures can lead to brittleness and excessive dryness of the hair. In this regard, great importance is given to the formation of sebum. Therapy is prohibited for people suffering from epilepsy, angiospasms and hypertension.

Hair treatment with ozone

Ozone hair treatment affects the cause of most scalp problems – bacterial membranes, destroying their lipid structure. Cellular respiration and immune processes are enhanced, nutrients penetrate better into hair follicles, which undoubtedly transforms hair. Ozone has a pronounced bactericidal, antiviral, fungicidal effect.

Hair treatment with ozone is a simple method to perform and is well tolerated by patients. There is a technology for ozone injection and a method without subcutaneous penetration. It is advisable to undergo such therapy in a specialized center or medical institution. And do not forget about the contraindications of the method:

  • predisposition to seizures;
  • allergic reactions to ozone;
  • thyroid dysfunction;
  • decreased blood clotting;
  • alcohol intoxication.

Laser hair treatment

Laser treatment of hair and scalp is performed in special salons and medical institutions. Its purpose is comprehensive health improvement and restoration of hair.

There are various types of lasers for hair treatment that have low radiation intensity. They act without damaging the skin, stimulating physiological processes in it. Laser hair treatment is considered a safe, harmless and effective method that allows you to forget about the problem of hair loss, dandruff, early graying, psoriasis, dermatitis, etc. The course of therapy can last up to six months, with mandatory visits to the center twice a week.

Keratin hair treatment

Keratin hair treatment is a process of hair restoration from the inside. Keratin is a fibrillar protein that is part of hair, nails, and horny tissue. Hair contains up to 80% keratin, and if there is a deficiency, problems such as brittleness, dryness, and dullness begin.

Keratin hair treatment helps to restore beauty even to bleached, lifeless locks for a period of four months or more. The method also works on curly, damaged, unruly and frizzy hair. The most famous product for keratinization is the Israeli product "Nanokeratin System". From the name of the substance, we can conclude that keratin hair treatment is nano hair treatment.

Nano hair treatment is that the keratin molecule is smaller in size than the regular molecule, allowing it to penetrate deep into the hair. Nano hair treatment with keratin gives hair elasticity, firmness, shine and is considered a progressive technique that gives instant results.

Hair Treatment Course

The course of hair treatment depends on the complexity of the problem. It usually consists of at least 5 procedures. There are programs whose application extends to 30 sessions. Therefore, before starting treatment, you need to consult a doctor and be patient to get the expected result.

The course of hair treatment is prescribed by a trichologist - a specialist in hair treatment. Based on a conversation with you, according to the individual characteristics of the body, your gender, the hair treatment specialist:

  • examines the scalp and skin;
  • if necessary, prescribes diagnostics (tests);
  • creates a program for hair care at home;
  • recommends special products;
  • makes up a course of hair treatment.

In many ways, the success of treatment depends on the literacy of the initial examination, the accuracy of the diagnosis and the qualifications of the trichologist.
