Hair & Scalp Treatment Technology
The concept of Microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns and other abrasions. Immediately after an injury to the skin, our body reuses the damaged collagen and the elastin fibres as well as other damaged skin components to produce new ones.
Microneedling causes micro controlled trauma to the skin and initiates the self-repair mechanism by creating micro-“injuries” in the skin which triggers new collagen synthesis. The result is having a smoother, firmer and healthier scalp. The process is carried out with a Micro needle stick that is filled with numerous tiny pins that will penetrate the upper layers of the skin.This process has two major benefits. It effectively stimulates collagen formation and at the same time provides a clear channel for topical serums to be absorbed more effectively through the top layer (epidermis) of scalp.

As your Trichologist performs the microneedling , it is making pin point punctures into the dermis – most of which are simply temporarily opening your pores for deeper penetration of the medicine. The absorption of the medicine is faster and your body perceives this as damage, which triggers the release of growth factors that, in turn, stimulate the production of elastin and collagen.
By persistently triggering this healing process, you encourage your body to keep repairing until the job is done. Microneedling may be conducted safely on all colours of skin and all types of skin. The epidermis and melanocytes in the basal area are not damaged, so there’s no possibility of post inflammatory condition.
But it is important to take past history of the client as microneedling is contraindicated in following conditions:-
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Active bacterial, viral or fungal infections
- Keloid or raised scars
- Active pustular acne
- Diabetes
- Scars less than 6 months old
- Raised moles or warts
- Strong antihypertensive medication, Anti coagulants , Cardiovascular medication
- Immunosuppression
- Actinic (solar) keratosis
- Surgery in the past 6 months.
Ageing of scalp and hair is a complex process involving various factors such as:-
- Hormonal changes
- UV rays
- Improper diet
- Genetics
- Pollution
- Oxidative stress
- Medication
- Toxins and environmental factors.
Scalp is just an extension of skin and it gets equally affected if we don’t take proper care.
According to the international journal of Trichology, stress plays a major role in the ageing process. Chronic stress can accelerate androgenetic alopecia ( male pattern hair loss) and graying of hair. But if taken care early, the signs of ageing can be controlled by the latest innovative Oxyjet technology.
It is a needle-less, supersonic antioxidant jet infusion that uses pressure to penetrate oxygen and nutrients deeply into the scalp. It helps to reactivate up to 80% dormant hair follicles, accelerates cellular regeneration to stimulate hair growth, boost collagen and prevent greying hair.
It cleans the scalp deeply by balancing the overactive sebaceous gland, preventing dandruff and dry hair. When combined with the right tonic,It reactivates the dormant hair follicles by providing the damaged hair with proteins, essential amino acids, minerals & unsaturated fatty acids necessary for hair growth.

Its a non-invasive, extremely safe and FDA approved technology for treating Androgenetic Alopecia. The specific wavelength of 650- 655nm Bio- light from the LEDs interacts with the hair follicle and stimulates hair growth. Low Level Laser Therapy has been clinically tested and proven to show increased hair growth and slower hair fall. It increases the cell metabolism and improves blood circulation towards the scalp. It also helps in lengthening of anagen phase ( hair growth stage ) and inhibits miniaturisation of the hair follicles by blocking the DHT . The end result is revitalised hair which are thicker, healthier and darker in colour. When used regularly along with Trichologically prescribed hair growth tonics, the result can be seen within 4- 6 months.
