Electrotherapy as a Hair Growth Treatment

What is Electrotherapy and how does it reverse hair loss?  

Electrotherapy, also known as Electro Tricho Genesis, has proven to be an attractive non- surgical and non-invasive treatment in reversing male-patterned baldness and other hair loss problems in both men and women. Since its initial use as an exciting and alternative treatment beginning in the early 1980s, ETG devices now come in various shapes and sizes and are designed to generate a low-level electrical field (voltage) when applied directly to the scalp. The electro static pulses emitted by the ETG device stimulates hair follicles by reactivating hair-producing structures that have gone dormant. These pulses mimic the natural occurring signals in the body and cause no damage to the tissues.  Studies have shown that electrical stimulation of follicles that are phasing out become reinvigorated and can produce longer, fuller hair than other topical treatments.  

Treatment

Treatment generally run up to six weeks. It’s best to consult with a trichologist to determine if you’re a good candidate for Electrotherapy and what a treatment plan may include for you.
