The Science
Trichology examines the scalp as living skin. The analysis covers four systems: Barrier, Microbiome, Inflammation, and Circulation. All four interact. An analysis that only looks at one misses the others.
What the analysis covers
Like a table: if one leg wobbles, the whole surface is unstable. The analysis looks at all four, every time.
The roof. Moisture seal, acid mantle, lipid layer. When the barrier is intact, moisture stays in and irritants stay out.
The ecosystem. Hundreds of microbial species live on the scalp in balance. When balance tips, the scalp responds.
The alarm system. Redness, sensitivity, stinging, and tenderness are signals, not standalone conditions.
The freeway. Blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the follicle. Restricted flow shows up in the analysis.
The Method
The analysis tells us which of the four pillars needs attention. The 4R protocol responds in the right order: Reset first, then Restore, then Reinforce, then Reactivate.
A deep but gentle cleanse that lifts buildup without stripping.
Calm irritation and replenish hydration so the scalp can recover between washes.
Shield the scalp against the daily load: heat, pollution, and UV.
Wake up circulation. Blood flow feeds the follicle.
The Analysis
Your scalp under the microscope, five zones, left and right. You watch the screen while Tina walks you through what she sees: barrier, microbiome, inflammation, circulation. You leave with the written analysis and a plan.
