Hair Loss Treatment

What is Acupuncture Pulse Therapy?

Acupuncture pulse therapy is a treatment method that combines traditional acupuncture with electrical stimulation. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific acupoints to balance the body and enhance its natural healing abilities. On the other hand, pulse currents use weak electrical currents to stimulate the deeper layers of the body. By combining these two techniques, it is expected to promote blood circulation and activate hair follicles more effectively.

Causes of Hair Thinning and Solutions

Main Causes of Hair Thinning

Hormonal Imbalance

Male pattern baldness (AGA) is related to male hormones, and hormonal changes affect the hair growth cycle.

Poor Blood Circulation

Poor blood flow to the scalp prevents nutrients from reaching the hair follicles, hindering hair growth.

Stress

Mental stress can affect hormone balance and blood circulation, potentially accelerating hair thinning.

The Mechanism of Acupuncture Pulse Therapy

Why Acupuncture Pulse Therapy is Effective for Hair Thinning

Acupuncture pulse therapy combines the effects of acupuncture and electrical pulses to promote blood circulation and activate hair follicles. The acupoints stimulated by acupuncture improve the flow of energy in the body, while the pulse current acts on the deeper layers, effectively enhancing blood flow.

Hair Papilla

The hair papilla is connected to the scalp’s blood vessels and plays an important role in receiving nutrients from the blood and instructing the hair matrix cells to “produce hair.”

Hair Matrix Cells

Hair matrix cells utilize the nutrients and oxygen sent by the hair papilla to undergo cell division and create new hair.

Hair growth acupuncture stimulates the scalp with needles, improving blood circulation. As blood flow improves, nutrients can more easily reach the hair papilla, which then transfers these nutrients to the hair matrix cells, allowing hair to become stronger and new hair to grow.

Thanks to this mechanism, receiving hair growth acupuncture can revitalize hair and increase hair volume. While scalp massages are effective, acupuncture’s unique advantage lies in its ability to directly approach the scalp’s blood vessels, hair papilla, and hair matrix cells.

The Mechanism of Acupuncture Pulse Therapy’s Approach

Promoting Blood Circulation

Acupuncture and pulse currents work together to improve blood flow in the scalp, ensuring that the necessary nutrients and oxygen reach the hair roots. This improves the hair growth cycle and makes it easier for new hair to grow.

Activating Hair Follicles

The pulse current directly stimulates the hair follicles, promoting the activation of hair matrix cells.

Adjusting Hormonal Balance

Acupuncture treatment helps balance the body’s hormones, which can assist in preventing the progression of hair thinning.

Differences Between Traditional Acupuncture and Acupuncture Pulse Therapy

Traditional acupuncture simply uses needles to harness the body’s natural healing abilities, while acupuncture pulse therapy adds electrical pulses. This addition allows for deeper blood circulation improvement and cellular activation. Studies show that acupuncture pulse therapy is more effective than traditional acupuncture, with several clinical trials confirming its ability to promote hair growth.

Actual Treatment Examples (Photos)

Take a look at actual treatment examples from patients who received acupuncture pulse therapy. By comparing before-and-after photos, you can clearly see changes in the hair. For example, even individuals with progressive hair thinning can see their hair density increase and scalp become less noticeable after several treatments.
