The hair strand is a completely different structure to that of the scalp skin. The scalp has a surface Epidermis and also many under layers that form the Dermis. The epidermis is where we look for signs of how the hair is growing and can find changes relating to hair thinning, hair loss and disrupted hair cycle.
The dermis can show so many more signs that contribute to common complaints that accompany hair loss and hair thinning such as oil hair, itchy scalp, dandruff and scalp irritation. The function of the hair follicles oil gland (the sebaceous gland) can be seen or maybe not seen at all, the tightness of the hair follicles muscle (the arrector pili muscle) can be noted by the state of the scalp skin, and this is the muscle responsible for the pain experienced when your hair is pulled. The rate of scalp skin cellular division can also be seen to be going too fast in cases of dandruff, dermatitis and psoriasis, as well as the type of scale, colour of scale and shape of scale giving rise to accurate diagnosis. And last but not least the blood supply to the hair follicle bulb delivering oxygen and nutrients required for hair growth can be seen or not found at all or in cases of inflammation, can be overactive and angry. All these signs give rise to accurate diagnosis along with being fascinating to see.
Hair Specialist Trichologist Brisbane talks about The Scalp Dermis, what more we can see:
- Oil gland function or dysfunction
- Tight or lax arrector pili muscle
- Scalp skin condition
- Level of scalp circulation
- Damaged translucent hairs that are so small cannot be seen without a microscope
The dermis gives so many more signs to help with diagnosis in addition to what can be found on the epidermis. One of the most interesting things I commonly find is the presence of the very damaged tiny translucent hairs. These hairs are alive, but have had so much cellular damage they have no structure and no colour and are near invisible. So when calculating expected results from Absolique Hair Health Clinic Natural Hair Loss Treatments, we always consider these tiny near invisible translucent hairs, as they do regrow back to a normal hair when all symptoms and causes are addressed in combination therapy, initial treatment time is 4 months to see new growth, patients is the name of the game.
The personal, prescriptive and natural scalp preparation developed and practised at Absolique Hair Health Clinic will address all issues found on the scalp epidermis and dermis to naturally facilitate absorption of chemical free topical hair loss treatments. It is imperative you follow your individual instructions provided by Absolique Hair Health Clinic Hair Specialist Trichologist Brisbane in the way of changing how you wash your hair to focus on the scalp, and specific instructions of pH testing and alkalising for nutritional supplements when required, to deliver the best results.
