TLDR Electric Follicle Stimulation may promote hair growth and density with no known side effects.

The document discusses Electric Follicle Stimulation (EFS), a low-frequency treatment aimed at promoting hair growth and density by stimulating the hair follicles. It outlines the hair growth cycle, which includes the Anagen (growth), Catagen (transitional), and Telogen (resting) phases, and explains how factors such as genetics, nutrition, health conditions, medications, and hairdressing techniques can affect hair growth and loss. The author describes the EFS procedure, which involves using a comb electrode or pointed rod to apply argon gas to the scalp, stimulating the follicle and improving blood circulation. The treatment has no known side effects but is not suitable for everyone, with contraindications including pregnancy, malignancy, circulatory disorders, severe infection, epilepsy, pacemakers, metal implants, and dental braces. EFS sessions should not exceed 20 minutes and should be done no more than three times a week, with potential results visible within six weeks. The author emphasizes that EFS should be performed by a licensed professional and suggests selling shampoo and conditioner to clients to support the hair growth process.
