Reports from the dermatology market show how rapidly the proportion of people with hair and scalp problems is increasing. This is having the effect of increasing the number of people who ask for a diagnosis of their dermarosis and hair thinning symptoms at their standard beauty or hairdressing salon.

Hair problems in men and women

There is also an increasing demand for trichological treatments for women 45+, with intensive strengthening and rejuvenating effects, especially on coloured hair. As the years go by, hair becomes drier and more brittle, and there is an increased risk of hormonal imbalance in the post- and menopausal periods, which has an impact on thinning hair. There is also a very rapid increase in the number of men suffering from serious trichological problems, especially hair thinning and baldness. Research indicates that baldness in men and women is linked to many different factors. In addition to the most common cause related to genetic background, these include hormonal disorders (e.g. puberty, post-pregnancy, post- and menopause), inflammation of the scalp, thyroid problems. Other reasons include side effects of medication or weight loss diets, stress and unhygienic lifestyles. Dermatoses such as seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis and dandruff can also contribute to hair loss.

Trichology treatments and scalp cosmetics

Customers expect hair cosmetics to have both conditioning and anti-ageing effects. There is a growing demand for products that provide: thermoprotection, protection against UVA/UVB rays, protection against environmental stress, anti-dandruff, anti-inflammatory action. There is a noticeable increased interest in hair care products without sulphates, preservatives, artificial fragrances and colours, free from SLS or SLES. CHANTARELLE experts have developed effective treatments to combat hair loss and strengthen hair follicles and improve the condition of the scalp. We recommend the laser treatment PDT Black Essential Head Skin Care – Against Hair Loss with LED/LASER light biostimulation, which stimulates cells to regenerate. The treatment counteracts hair loss and excessive breakage, improves skin condition, hair strength and elasticity. Repairs post-oxidative damage by increasing blood supply to the skin, hydrates and smooths the scalp and has an antibacterial effect. Extends the life of the hair roots and effectively strengthens them. The synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin is increased and the skin’s natural immune processes are stimulated.
