If you’ve been following along with Hairlab Chicago or exploring our website, you’ll notice we talk a lot about Trichology! You might be wondering, “What exactly is Trichology?” Well, you’ve come to the right place! We are going to explore and let you in on what Trichology is, how it works, and why we use it!
The word “trichology” comes from the Greek word “Trickhos” which means “hair” and was first developed back in 1902 as a specific para-medical discipline! Trichologists study the human scalp and hair loss that is associated with it.
As trichologists study the scalp and examine a patient’s hair, they look at the problem from a holistic standpoint, meaning they try to discover all of the physiological aspects that may be causing hair loss. They ask the client about their medical history, diet, personal lifestyle, genetic history, etc. to gain an understanding of what may be causing hair loss. From there, trichologists are then able to suggest the route of treatment and recommend any changes that might need to happen in the patient’s life in order to complement the treatment!
Trichology Treatments
At Hairlab Chicago, we have the trichological tools to treat clients with hair loss!
One of the tools we use is Vapor Ozono. This is a steamer machine that releases ozone and vapor into the scalp. This opens the pores and allows toxins to escape and acts as an antibacterial agent for the scalp.
Another tool we use is Tricopress! This machine delivers a targeted mechanical massage into the scalp to help enhance the skin’s elasticity and stimulate circulation!
Tricoglam is one of the other tools we use, and it’s among the most modern technologies for hair loss. Tricoglam uses LED light therapy to increase circulation and transport certain nutrients into the scalp. Tricoglam increases cell metabolism and blood flow, increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), accelerates mitosis and the production of cytokines, and reduces inflammation.
Science has given us so many tools that let us help others in extraordinary ways. Trichology is a very modern and advanced solution to a problem that has been passed on for centuries! And we here at Hairlab Chicago are so thankful to get to utilize it and help others overcome hair loss.
