LIKE many people, I experienced excessive hair fall during the pandemic. I tried supplements, shampoos, and home remedies but the hair fall continued.
I started going to Svenson in 2023 (or was it 2022?) and at that time, my problem was not just hair fall but seborrheic dermatitis, which I always blamed on bad shampoos, the heat, or air-conditioning.
I started going to Svenson for the Scalp Corrective Treatment, a professional, in-clinic procedure designed to deeply cleanse the scalp, remove stubborn buildup, and relieve chronic dryness, flaking, or itchiness. I’d call this a lunchtime procedure because it can be done in 30 minutes.
It took about a year for me to see benefits from the treatment. You need to have it done thrice a week. I only did it once a week but I was consistent. I never missed a week.
The process begins with a consultation, which is free. A trichologist looks at your scalp and hair strands using a microscope. She will also do a hair pull test.
Scalp Corrective Treatments begins with a shampoo. After that, your scalp is cleansed with a liquid solution after which the corrective treatment is applied.
The corrective treatment can be oil-based or alcohol-based depending on the state of your scalp and hair. In my case, I get the oil-based treatment. The cleanser and corrective treatment are applied using an airbrush tool.
For the next step, an iontophoresis device is used. The goal is for the ingredients used in the treatment to be more easily absorbed by the scalp. The next and last step is red light therapy. This takes just five minutes.
Recently, I have been doing Gen45, a new Svenson treatment that detoxifies the scalp, stimulates healthy circulation, blocks DHT (the root cause of thinning), and reinforces weak hair follicles. Gen45 also defends hair strands against UV rays, styling damage, and everyday environmental buildup.
The Gen45 tonic contains amino acids (to help hair grow back thicker, stronger, and more resilient), ginseng and burdock (which help detoxify the scalp and promote healthy growth), biotin and niacinamide (for long-term scalp health), and Saw Palmetto (to keep DHT, the root cause of thinning, in check). It also contains antioxidants to help stimulate healthy circulation.
The Gen45 procedure is much like the Scalp Corrective Treatment except that after the shampoo, the tonic is applied immediately followed by the use of the iontophoresis device and, finally, red light therapy.
