Benefits of Scalp Treatment Q&A

Scalp treatments are designed to promote overall scalp and hair health by removing dirt, oil, and product buildup, exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, nourishing the scalp with essential vitamins and minerals, reducing dryness, flakiness, and itching, promoting hair growth, soothing irritation and inflammation, and improving circulation and reducing stress. The frequency and type of scalp treatment provided depends on your scalp condition and hair health.

While scalp treatments can be beneficial, they should be performed by trained professionals. Incorrect techniques or misuse of products can potentially lead to scalp damage or worsened conditions.

Scalp treatments utilize a range of techniques and products to deliver the following benefits:

• Scalp Cleanliness and Health
• Scalp Exfoliation
• Increased Blood Circulation
• Enhanced Hair Growth
• Scalp Hydration and Moisture
• Reduced Scalp Irritation
• Improved Hair Texture and Shine
• Stress Relief and Relaxation

After undergoing a scalp treatment, several changes occur which are all part of the healing and rejuvenation process. To ensure optimal results and minimize risks, it’s important to understand the potential effects and adhere to our expert care recommendations to promote optimal healing and minimize discomfort.

Immediate Effects:

• Discomfort or tenderness: You may feel some sensitivity or discomfort in the treated area after your treatment. This can typically be resolved within a few days.

• Scalp condition improvement: This treatment gently exfoliates the scalp, and removes dead skin cells and product buildup. You may notice an immediate improvement in the condition of your scalp.

• Redness and irritation: Some treatments, such as laser therapy or intense pulsed light, can cause temporary redness and inflammation.

• Crusting and scaling: The scalp may form crusts or scales as the skin reacts to the treatment. This means your scalp is healing.

• Mild swelling: Minor swelling can occur around the treated area, especially after invasive procedures.

Delayed Effects:

• Dry scalp: In the following days after the treatment, your scalp may feel drier than usual. We recommend using a moisturizing conditioner or a specialized scalp oil to counteract this.

• Hair feel: Treatments promote a healthy scalp environment, which results in softer, shinier hair.

• Hair loss: Depending on the treatment type, some hair loss may occur temporarily or permanently.

• Skin sensitivity: The treated area may become more sensitive to sunlight and other environmental factors.

• Pigmentation changes: Certain treatments can cause temporary or permanent changes in skin pigmentation.

If you experience any of the following symptoms after scalp treatment, seek medical attention promptly:

• Severe pain or swelling
• Excessive bleeding or discharge
• Pus or drainage
• Persistent redness or inflammation
• Fever or chills
• Concerns about hair loss or skin changes

It’s worth noting that while scalp treatments can be beneficial, they may not be a cure-all for scalp issues. If you’re dealing with a specific scalp condition like dandruff, psoriasis, or hair loss, consult with dermatologists.

If you’re witnessing any of these signs, it might be time to consider a professional scalp treatment:

• Persistent Itching and Irritation
• Dandruff and Scaly Flakes
• Hair Loss or Thinning
• Redness, Inflammation, or Tenderness
• Scalp Infections
• Dryness, Tightness, or Uncomfortable Scalp
• Unusual Scalp Odors
