Ultrasonic and Infrared Hair Treatment: Scientific Justification and Application Practice

The article discusses the combined use of ultrasonic and infrared treatments for hair restoration, highlighting their ability to enhance hair regeneration and strengthening. Ultrasonic cavitation at 20-40 kHz disrupts disulfide bonds in keratin, improving the penetration of therapeutic compounds, while infrared radiation (800-1200 nm) provides controlled heating to seal cuticle scales. This combination improves hair's visual and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elasticity, and gloss, with minimal thermal and chemical stress. The study suggests potential applications for salon and home use, particularly for treating alopecia, and emphasizes the need for further research to refine these techniques and develop new formulations.
