Glossary Heat Treatment

process of applying controlled heat to alter hair's structure

Heat treatment, also known as thermal treatment, refers to the process of applying controlled heat to hair to alter its structure, texture, or appearance. This can include methods like blow-drying, flat ironing, or using curling irons. For professionals, understanding the precise temperature and duration is crucial to avoid damaging the hair's keratin structure, which can lead to breakage or increased porosity.

learn Hair Transplant

How do I know which hair restoration treatment is right for me? Consult a professional for a personalized hair restoration treatment plan based on your needs.

learn Keratin

Are keratin treatments good for people with alopecia, or do they only improve the hair’s appearance? Keratin treatments improve hair appearance but do not address alopecia or stimulate growth.

learn Exosomes

Tiny cell-derived particles offered by clinics as an injectable treatment

Can an exosome treatment revive hair follicles that have stopped producing hair? Unproven. No controlled human study shows that exosomes revive dormant follicles, none can revive scarred ones, and no exosome product is FDA-approved.

learn Azelaic Acid

Is azelaic acid a treatment on its own or does it need supplements? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil in female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale otherwise rests on in-vitro work. Community members generally describe azelaic acid as an add-on to minoxidil or finasteride rather than a standalone treatment.

learn Centella

Could nightly oil treatments with centella wake up sleeping follicles? There is no human evidence that centella oil wakes up dormant hair follicles; the only hair-related study is in cultured cells. Community users mention centella as a soothing ingredient, not a regrowth treatment.
