What is High Frequency Treatment?

High frequency treatment is essentially a vasodialator, it increases the blood supply to the hair follicles whilst being treated. It works by stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles, thus drawing vital nutrients to the hair bulb encouraging healthier and stronger growth of individual hairs.The high-frequency treatment is an intensive hair therapy used to treat hair loss, hair thinning, dandruff, and alopecia.

It uses ultra-violet and high-frequency rays to stimulate the hair follicles.

What happens during treatment?

Here at Ni’S Trichology we use a High Frequency Treatment Machine for our patients with thinning hair conditions.

One of the four tools are passed over the scalp whilst the light waves penetrate the scalp stimulating blood flow.  The  treatment process lasts for 5mins and would be a minimum of 6-8 sessions and is generally used as a part of a complete electrotherapy treatment which combines UV and Infra Red light treatments.

Your consultation will help to determine the correct session times and intervals for the treatment.

Is it safe?

A professional Trichologist has the knowledge and experience to operate the treatment machines ensuring they are safe for all kinds of patients. There are certain medical conditions that will make this treatment unsuitable.

Not suitable during pregnancy or for hypertensive patients for example. Your initial consultation will determine your suitability for any recommended treatments.
