What is involved in Trichology Scalp Treatments?
The Clinician will clean your hair using products which are suitable for your scalp condition, gentle, moisturising, or anti-bacterial.
They will apply natural oils or prescription topical products (containing coal tar, sulphur and salicylic acid) to the scalp and hair. This acts on the flaking and scaling to help remove it.
Steam treatment loosens the scale further, provides light conditioning to the hair and infuses moisture into the hair and scalp.
The Clinician shampoo’s the hair and scalp with a medicated shampoo and may use a conditioner or leave on product depending on the scalp condition.
Infra-red and/or UV light therapy may be provided to help heal the skin.
Finally there is light drying of the hair.
What are the risks or potential side effects of Trichology Scalp Treatments?
